Scientists studied a deer population for 10 years. They generated the function f(x) = 248(1.15)x to approximate the number of deer in the population x years after beginning the study. About how many deer are in the population 3 years after beginning the study? 251 377 856 1,003

For this case we have an exponential function of the form:

[tex]f (x) = A (b) ^ x[/tex]

Where,

  • A: the initial number of deer
  • b: rate of change
  • x: number of years

We then have the following function:

[tex]f (x) = 248 (1.15) ^ x[/tex]

After three years we have:

[tex]f (x) = 248 (1.15) ^ 3\\f (x) = 377[/tex]

Answer:

the population 3 years after beginning the study is 377.
