Question

A scientist uses the equation shown below to predict the future population of a species. In the equation, y represents the estimated population and t represents the number of years.

Answer 1

Answer:

1200

Step-by-step explanation:

y represents the estimated population

t represents the number of years.

The equation that predicts the population after t years is given as:

`y=150*4^t`

Substitute t = 3/2 into the equation

`\begin{gathered} y=150*4^{(3)/(2)} \\ y=150*2^{2((3)/(2))} \\ y=150*2^3 \\ y=150*8 \\ y=1200 \end{gathered}`

The closest valuie to the value of y is 1200
