Answer: [tex]A=6000(1.012)^t[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
General exponential function:
[tex]A=P(1+r)^t[/tex]
, where P= current population
r= rate of growth
t= time period
A= population after t years
As per given , we have P=6,000
r= 1.2% = 0.012
Then, the required exponential function: [tex]A=6000(1+0.012)^t[/tex]
or [tex]A=6000(1.012)^t[/tex]
