Okay, so for this problem that you need help with, it says the fox population in a certain region has an annual growth rate of 1 .8 % i'm sorry, rate of 8 % per year.
00:13
In 2012, there were 29 ,550 foxes counted in the area.
00:19
Write a function f of t that models the number of foxes in the population t years after 2012.
00:27
Assume a continuous growth rate.
00:31
So it would be if you're starting out with 29 ,550, you would multiply that by 1 .08 because you have to add one to your percentage because one represents the, you're adding the 29 ,500 to it.
00:52
Okay.
00:54
So and then to the t power, t stands for the number of years.
01:00
So what is the fox population predicted to be in 2020? so i would do 2020, oops, 2020 minus 2012 is eight and that's because it is eight years after 2012.
01:21
Okay.
01:24
And so then what i would do is 29 ,550 multiplied by 1 .08 to the 8th power.
01:34
So first thing i would do is 1 .08 to the 8th power...
