Characterize Exponential Functions

The expression 12(1.015)^t models the population of elephants in a wildlife refuge after t years since 1975.
What does the value 1.015 represent?

• The number of elephants was 1,015 in 1975.

• The number of elephants increases by 1.5% each year.

• The number of elephants increases by 101.5% each year.

• The number of elephants is multiplied by 1.015 each year.

Is the graph exponential growth or decay?

• Exponential growth

• Exponential decay

The amount of ants in a colony, f, that is decaying can be modeled by                      f(x) = 800(.87)^x, where x is the number of days since the decay started. By what percentage is the colony decaying?

• 87%

• 13%

• 800%

• 8.7%

The expression 12(1.015)^t models the population of elephants in a wildlife refuge after t years since 1975.
What does the value 12 represent?
