Shortly after their arrival, Europeans
began introducing pigs to the
Americas as a source of food. Some
escaped, and others were
intentionally released into the wild,
where they thrived. Assume that the
wild pig population is modeled by the
formula P = pp. (1-2)*. If there were five
million wild pigs in 2010 (no one
really knows the exact number), what
was the population of wild pigs in
2000?

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.
