In 1987, the australian humpback whale population was 350 and has increased at a rate of about 14% each year since then. write a function to model population growth. use a graph to predict when the population will reach 20, 000.

#1) Write a function to model population growth. Use a graph to predict when the population will reach 20, 000.

In this case what you have to do is use an exponential growth equation. In short the correct function that will model this population growth of 14% each year is P(t) = 350(1.14)^t and the population will reach 20,000 in about 31 years.

I hope it helps, Regards.
