PLEASE HELP ASAP! Due tonight, medal for whoever helps! Exponential growth problem asking the projected population after t=15 years. I thought the answer should be 43484 frogs, but it's saying that's wrong so I'm not sure how else to go about it.

Okay so basically what it's asking is the unit rate.
So if every 1 year the bullfrog's population goes up 100, are we on the same page there?

nintendo_fangirl · Answer

Well, I take that back, for every one year the frog's population goes up 150, would you say that's right?

kaswanson · Answer

I'm not really following, why would it be 150?

nintendo_fangirl · Answer

At what point at the red line does the two points meet up?

kaswanson · Answer

Oh wait, would it be because you could take 100e^.405*1 and get approximately 150?

kaswanson · Answer

Oh that makes sense with the graph.

nintendo_fangirl · Answer

Yeah, I'm looking at the graph, sorry if this doesn't make any sense, my brain is kinda fried ;-;

kaswanson · Answer

no worries! So how would you figure out when t=15 though?

nintendo_fangirl · Answer

Where is it you're talking about?

kaswanson · Answer

Part C on the picture of the problem

nintendo_fangirl · Answer

After 5 years the population was 750, I think, so couldn't you just multiply 150*15? And get the right answer?

nintendo_fangirl · Answer

On the 4th part how did you get your answer?
