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

$25

step-by-step explanation:

25 - 4.50 = 20.5

20.5 / 2 = 10.25

10.25 + 10 = 20.25

20.25 - 12.50 = 7.75

therefore the answer is $25 as shown as the first number.
