The function f(x)=1200(0.8)^x represent the possible elk population of a national park x years from now. what is the current population of elk at the park? a.960 b.1200 c.1500 d.768

If x is the number of years from now, that means the current population is when x=0

Therefore, we plug this into the equation:

f(x) = 1200(0.8)^0 = 1200 elk at the park currently

B.1200

Step-by-step explanation:

This equation is in the form

where a represents the initial value and b represents 1 plus the growth rate as a decimal number.  In this equation, the number in place of a is 1200; this means the initial value, or current population, is 1200.
