The growth of a species of fish in a lake can be modeled by the function ƒ(x) = 500(1.10)x, where x is time in months since January 2019. What does the 500 represent?

And we want to know what repreent the value 500 for this equation. If we see the general expression for an exponential function we have:

Where a is the constant or the initial amount, b te base and x the independnet variable (time)

For this special  case we know that:

And 500 represent the constant or initial value for the function

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following function given:

And we want to know what repreent the value 500 for this equation. If we see the general expression for an exponential function we have:

Where a is the constant or the initial amount, b te base and x the independnet variable (time)

For this special  case we know that:

And 500 represent the constant or initial value for the function
