A duck population is modeled by Pn=200⋅(1.02)n
where n is the number of years after the year 2010. How many ducks does the model predict for the year 2025? Round to the nearest whole number of ducks.

3060 ducks

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 possibilities here. We can plug in 15 for n since 2025 is 15 years after 2010, or we can graph it and find the value.

If we do the first method, we have

So the population in 2025 is 3060 ducks.

We can check our answer by graphing on a calculator. If we enter the equation and then use calc>value we can see that when x=15, y=3060.

Hope this helps!
