Exponential growth formula:
[tex]f(t)=a\cdot(1+r)^t[/tex]where a is the initial amount, t is time, and r is the growth rate.
(a) In the equation:
[tex]G(t)=250(1.2)^t[/tex]the initial population of squirrels is 250
(b) the growth rate is 0.2, which means that the population increase by 20% each year
(c) Substituting with t = 1 year, we get:
[tex]\begin{gathered} G(1)=250(1.2)^1 \\ G(1)=250(1.2) \\ G(1)=300 \end{gathered}[/tex]The population will be 300 squirrels
