A population of ants is 10,000 at the start of April. Since then, it triples each month. Month since April Number of Ants

Month since April                                   Number of Ants

          0                                                         10,000

           1                                                         30,000

          2                                                         90,000

          3                                                        270,000

          4                                                         810,000

Every month, the ant population triples so the multiply the previous population by 3 to find out the new population.

0 months from April = 10,000 * 1 = 10,000 ants

1 month from April = 10,000 * 3 = 30,000 ants

2 months from April = 30,000 * 3 = 90,000 ants

3 months from April = 90,000 * 3 = 270,000 ants

4 months from April = 270,000 * 3 = 810,000

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.
