There were 50 rabbits on an island. after three months the number of rabbits had increased to 70. if the number of rabbits increased exponentially, answer the questions that follow:

a. in the equation above (where t is in months: , find the value of the growth rate k. (round k to 4 decimal places)

0.1187

Step-by-step explanation:

A = P (1 + k)^t

where A is the final amount,

P is the initial amount,

k is the monthly growth rate,

and t is the number of months.

70 = 50 (1 + k)^3

1.4 = (1 + k)^3

∛1.4 = 1 + k

k = -1 + ∛1.4

k = 0.1187

the 8 in 8,420 is in the thousands place so it's value is 8 thousand.

the 8 in 6,870 is in the hundreds place so it's value is 8 hundred.

divide 8000 by 800 to find the answer:

8000 / 800 = 10

the 8 in 8,420 is 10 times greater than the 8 in 6,870
