A study was conducted to analyze the effects on deer population in a particular area. Let f be an exponential
function that gives the population of deer t years after
the study began.
If f(t) = a • bt and the population is increasing, select
the two statements that must be true.
(No joke answers)
Answer if you know^

Options (2) and (3)

Step-by-step explanation:

If 'f' is an exponential function,

f(t) =

Or we can rewrite the function as,

f(t) =

Here 'r' = rate of increase in the population.

a = Initial population

If the rate is positive, population will be increasing [(1 + r) > 1]

If the rate is negative, population will be decreasing [0 < (1 - r) < 1]

For increase in the population b > 1

For decrease in the population 0 < b < 1

And initial population (a) should be greater than 0.

Therefore, Options (2) and (3) will be the correct options.

find the vertical and horizontal asymptotes of the function f x = 5 x − 1 . to find the vertical asymptote, equate the denominator to zero and solve for . since the degree of the polynomial in the numerator is less than that of the denominator, the horizontal asymptote is .
