The initial size of the population is 300. After 1 day the population has grown to 800. Estimate the population after 6 days. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

Solution :

Given initial population = 300

Final population after 1 day = 800

Number of days = 6

∴

P(0) = 300    P(1) = 300

We need to find P(8).

When P(0) = 300

∴ c = 300

∴

When P(1) = 800

∴ k = 750

So, P(8) is

        = 11,614

So the population becomes 11,614 after 8 days.

the correct answer is b. negative exponential growth.

step-by-step explanation:

you can tell it's an exponential function because it decreases rapidly then levels out and never touches the x-axis.

it is negative because the y-axis decreases as the x-axis increases.

therefore it is a negative exponential growth graph.

hope i !

it's a proportional graph.

step-by-step explanation:

8 x 5 = 40         (and you have -8x and -5y)

x= absiss

y= orderly

so you have a proportional graph.
