A population of 1000 rabbits in the woods reproduces and their population grows by 40% each year.1). What equation models the growth of the rabbit population?
A. y=.40x + 1000
B. =.40+1000
C. =1000(1.4)
D. =1000(.40)

Respuesta :

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this I first solved the equation for how many rabbits there would be after 1 year

1000+ .40×(1400)

This is going to give me the number of rabbits at first, + 40% of the initial population.

After the first year there would be 1400 rabbits.

While choice C does equal 1400, this equation only gives you the population increase for 1 year. Answer A allows you to find the population for any year.
