Question 1186684
.
The fox population in a certain region has an annual growth rate of 6% per year. 
In the year 2012, there were 23710 foxes counted in the area.

Write a function, f(t), that models the number of foxes in the population at t years after 2012. 
Assume a continuous growth rate.
What is the fox population predicted to be in 2020?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
The requested function is 

    f(t) = {{{23710*(1+0.06)^t}}} = {{{23710*1.06^t}}},

where t is the number of years after 2012.



The fox population in 2020, 8 years after 2012 is

    {{{23710*1.06^8}}} = 37790   (approximately).    <U>ANSWER</U>
</pre>

Solved.
