Question

Year 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016
Population of Rabbits 50 80 128 205 328 525 840


Part A
If we assume that 2010 is t = 0, what is the initial value and what does it mean in this context?

Answer 1

50 is the initial value, it is the start of a population of rabbits that increases exponentially over time.

the value at t=0 is a starting point or in this case the starting population. The rest of the chart is the increase in population per year.

Answer 2

I did the math, for this graph the initial value is 1.60 ot 160% for i put 160% when i did it for school.

If u do 50 x 1.60 it gets u 80.

And if you do the same for 80, 80x1.60=128.

And so on and so forth.
