The population of squid in the tropical zone of the ocean is recorded in the table.

Years after 1980 0 3 4 7 10 15 20 30 33
Population in thousands 10 20 35 60 125 250 500 1000 1500
Part A: Determine an exponential model for the data. Show all work. (2 points)

Part B: Using the model, predict the squid population in the year 2029. Is it appropriate to make this prediction? Show all work and explain your reasoning.
