Question

The population f(x), in millions, of State A of a country after x years is represented by the function shown below:

f(x) = 2(1.08)^t

Answer 1

The graph shows the population g(x), in millions, of State B of the country after x years:

Graph of function g of x equals 2 multiplied by 1.08 to the power of t

Which conclusion is correct about the population of State A and State B?

The original population of State B was half of the original population of State A.
The original population of State A was half of the original population of State B.
The original population of State A was equal to the original population of State B.
The original population of State B was one-fourth of the original population of State A.

Answer 2

to find the initial or original population, let t = 0

so look at the y intercept on the graph, State B

and substitute t = 2 for state A

this will give the initial population for both, then you can look at your answer options.

Hope it helps
