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?

• The predicted increase in number of elephants in the refuge each year.

• The predicted decrease in number of elephants in the refuge each year.

• The number of years it will take for the elephant population to stop increasing.

• The initial amount of elephants in the park.

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. Suppose           f(20) = 49. Which of the following is true?

• After 20 days, there are 49 ants in the colony.

• After 49 days there are 20 ants in the colony.

• The amount of ants times 20 is 49.

• After 20 days the amount of ants remaining decreases by 49.
