When rabbits were introduced to the continent of Australia they quickly multiplied and spread across the continent since there were only primitive marsupial competitors and predators to interfere with the exponential growth of their population. The data in the following table can be used to create a model of rabbit population growth.

1. Find the regression equation for the rabbit population as a function of time x.
2. Write the regression equation in terms of base e.
3. Use the equation from part b to estimate the time for the rabbits to exceed 10,000.

a.

b.

c.13.3 months

Step-by-step explanation:

a.-Given the first term  at is 6 and the second term at is 32.

-Let's take rabbit population as a function of time to be

where y is the population at time x and a the initial population at

#We substitute our values to calculate the value of the constant b:

#Replace b in the population function:

Hence, the regression for the rabbit population as a function of time x is

b. The exponential function in terms of base is usually expressed as:

Where:

-is the initial population at

-is the population at time t.

is the  exponential growth constant.

the exponent

Our function in terms of base exponent is rewritten as:

#Substitute with actual figures to solve for t:

Hence, the regression equation in terms of base e is

c. We substitute y with any number higher than 10,000 to estimate the time for the rabbits to exceed 10,000.

-We know that

Therefore we calculate t as(take y=10001):

Hence, it takes approximately 13.3 months for the population to exceed 10000

50*10 is greater

step-by-step explanation:

if you add the zero from 10 to 50, it will give you a bigger number.

the answer is 9.8975

explanation:

when you multiply the "39.59" with the 25% it reduces it and shows its final discounted price. hope this !
