Sorry i typed the question wrong.
Suppose the growth of a population in millions is modeled by 3.2 * (4.72^t. What is the size of the population initially?
To find the initial size of the population, we need to determine the value of the population when t = 0 (initial time).
Given that the growth of the population is modeled by the formula 3.2 * (4.72^t), we can substitute t = 0 into the equation:
Population at t = 0 = 3.2 * (4.72^0)
Any number raised to the power of 0 is equal to 1, so the equation simplifies to:
Population at t = 0 = 3.2 * 1
Therefore, the size of the population initially is equal to 3.2.
