In a particular region of a national park, there are currently 330 deer, and the population is increasing at an annual rate of 11%.
a. Write an exponential function to model the deer population.
A(t) = 330(1.11)^t
=========================
b. Explain what each value in the model represents.
A(t) is the # of deer after t years.
==========================================
c. Predict the number of deer that will be in the region after five years.
A(5) = 330*1.11^5 = 556 deer
================================
