Question

the grasshopper population in Georgia is currently 4,000. It's growing by 2.3% each year. Write an equation that models the situation.

Answer 1

`4000(1.023)^t\\\\`

Explanation:

Using this exponential growth equation we can get an equation that models the situation.

A= Principal Amount

R= Rate of Growth

T= Amount of time

`A=4000\\R=2.3/100=.023\\T= Non`

`A(1+R)^t\\4000(1+0.23)^t\\4000(1.023)^t\\\\`
