Question

Create the data to fill in the population table. Be creative when selecting the P(x) values, but remember that this is an exponential growth model. Notice that you even need to come up with how many fish the fisherman introduces to the lake.


Months
(x) Population
P(x)
0
1
2
3

Answer 3

pls i really need help!!

Answer 4

Is there anything else we should know about it? Like was there an example table in the book or whatever?

Answer 5

nope jst this

Answer 6

do you think you can help?

Answer 7

I might be able to. It doesn't really make sense that they're using exponential functions for fishermen but I guess you could do 300^x where x is the months.

Answer 8

ok

Answer 9

:)

Answer 10

the website is about to restart, jst letting you know

Answer 11

Yeah, I see that. Thanks. :p

Answer 12

Answer 15

lol ok, im sorry! but can you guide me through the process?

Answer 16

Of what, exactly?

Answer 17

the question

Answer 18

lol wait do you know how to work this question or not?

Answer 19

Well without them giving you any values it's really hard. But if an exponential function has an exponent greater than 1 then I don't see why you can't just choose a bunch of random numbers and stuff.

Answer 20

would this help?
A fisherman decided to stock his favorite lake with a few fish that are not native to the region. The fish he introduces have no natural predators in the lake and they experience a large exponential growth. The introduction of an invasive species can be very detrimental to an ecosystem and there have already been noted effects. The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation has asked for your help.

Answer 21

@halorazer

Answer 22

A little bit but not very much. It makes a little bit more sense but at the same time is confusing because it says he introduces them and they have no natural predators. But then goes on to talk about invasive species. Is it talking about the exponential decay of the fish who were already there or the exponential growth of the invasive species?

Answer 23

idk thats why asked you

Answer 24

Tag some other people, I'm confused. O.o

Answer 25

ok nobody is online thats good at math can you tag people pls
