An initial population of 8 wolves increases by 9% each year. the function f(x) = abx models this situation. which value does x represent in the function when determining the population after 6 years?

x represents time

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = abˣ  

a represents the initial populationb represents the rate (in decimal form)x represents time

f(x) = abˣ  

a = 8b = 9% = .09x = 6

f(6) = 8(1 + .09)⁶  

     = 8(1.677)

     = 13.4

In 6 years, the population of the wolves will be 13

The question is kind of confusing. if it's asking how many variations of answers can you give. then do 4^5 for your answer.this would be something like the first question could be a and the 2nd c or first b next c etc. if you can, ask the teacher for a better confirmation of what it's asking. if i'm assuming correctly what it's asking, it's 625 different variations.
