Answer:
(a) A = 20(1.6)^t
(b) 210 rabbits
Step-by-step explanation:
Initial number of rabbits = 20
rate of growth, R = 60 % annually
(A) The general equation is
[tex]A = P \left ( 1+\frac{R}{100} \right )^t\\\\A = 20\left ( 1+\frac{60}{100} \right )^t\\\\A = 20 (1.6)^t[/tex]
(B) Let the time, t = 5 years
So, the population after 5 years is
[tex]A = 20 (1.6)^5\\\\A = 209.7 = 210 rabbits[/tex]
