Question

An initial population of 7 chipmunks increases by 6% each year. If the function f(x) = abx models this situation, which function could you use to find the population after 8 years?

Answer 1

Answer:
`f(x) = 7(1.06)^8`Step-by-ste

Answer 2

You can use the function f(x) = 7(1 + 0.06)^8 to find the population after 8 years.

Explanation:

To find the population after 8 years using the function f(x) = abx, we need to plug in the values. In this case, the initial population (a) is 7, the growth rate (b) is 1 + 0.06 (which represents a 6% increase), and x is the number of years, which is 8. So, the function becomes f(8) = 7(1 + 0.06)^8.
