Directions - Identify the key components, create an exponential equation, then answer the questions.  

Exponential Form:  y=a\cdot b^{x},\ a\ is\ the\ \textit{starting}\ \textit{value},\ b\ is\ the\ base\ (rate).\y=a⋅b  

x

, a is the starting value, b is the base (rate).  

In a small town, the stray dog population is rapidly increasing. there are currently 15 stray dogs, and it is estimated that the population will triple every year. How many dogs will there be after 1 year? 2 years? 3 years?

1) a =  15  

 4) Dogs after 1 years = 45  

2) b =  3  

 5) Dogs after 2 years =   135

3) Equation:    

y= 15 ×3x

 6) Dogs after 3 years =

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3

step-by-step explanation:

to find this, you can divide 12 by 4 which is 3 or you can multiply 4 until you reach 12 (4x3=12). both should give you 3, meaning theres three times less bananas than there are oranges.
