Biologists are studying elk population in a national park. After their initial count, the scientists observed that the number of elk living in the park is increasing every 4 years. The approximate number of elk in the park t years after the initial count was taken is shown by this function: Which best describes the coefficient, 1,300? A. the number of times the number of elk has compounded since the initial count B. the initial number of elk C. the rate at which the number of elk is increasing D. the increase in the number of elk every four years
