Frogs are released into a pond where there are no other frogs of this species. The
function f(t) can be used to model the population of this new species after t years.
Below are 4 forms of the function that model this situation. Which form most clearly
shows the monthly population growth?

Answer:

[tex]f(t)=12(1.0139)^{12t}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the initial number of frogs = 12

And their population is growing with the annual growth rate = 16.68% per year

Function modeling the population after 't' years will be,

[tex]P(t)=12(1+r)^{t}[/tex]

Here, r = Annual growth rate

t = Number of years

If we convert the annual growth rate to monthly growth rate,

Expression modeling the population will be,

[tex]f(t)=12(1+\frac{r}{12})^{12t}[/tex]

       [tex]=12(1+\frac{16.68}{12})^{12t}[/tex]

       [tex]=12(1.0139)^{12t}[/tex]

Therefore, [tex]f(t)=12(1.0139)^{12t}[/tex] will be the answer.
