Name: Date:A mathematical model predicting the growth of an ant colony population over 10 months is shown in the table below:
Months (x) | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 |
Ant colony population (y) | 7,000 | 8,500 | 10,500 | 13,000 | 16,500 | 20,000 | 25,000 | 30,500 | 38,000 | 47,000 | 58,000 |
2) Use your graph to estimate the ant colony population after 5.5 months
3) How many months it would take for the any colony population to reach 9,500 ants
