And will mark the brainlest 1) the population of elephants (y) on a game reserve after (t) years follows the following equation: y = 300(1.02)t is the population increasing or decreasing and by how much? what is the starting population of elephants? what will the population be after 17 years? 2) graph the function in question 1. label the y-intercept. set your axis so that your graph should includes at least 30 years. 3) you have $3,200 in a bank account. the bank charges you a 2% fee each year and does not give interest. create a function f(x) representing your bank balance each year. 4) for the function: f(x) = 37(1.22)x find the average rate of change from x = 0 to x = 3 find the average rate of change from x = 3 to x = 6 explain (in complete sentences) why these two are different. 5) jim starts with $10,000 in the bank and earns 5% interest (compounded annually). his balance as a function of time is expressed as: f(t) = 10000(1.05)t amy starts with only $1,000 in the bank but earns 15% interest (compounded annually). her balance as a function of time is expressed as: f(t) = 1000(1.15)t how long will it take each of their accounts to grow to $1,000,000? (hint: you can use a data table or graphing to solve this problem.)
