Over time, the number of organisms in a population increases exponentially. The table below shows the approximate number of organisms after y years.

y years number of organisms, n
1 55
2 60
3 67
4 75

The environment in which the organism lives can support at most 600 organisms. Assuming the trend continues, after how many years will the environment no longer be able to support the population?

I don't get it. The problem states "exponentially" but the given data is not "exponentially increasing"

anonymous · Answer

its a very small exponent im guessing
