A small nest of wasps has an exponential growth rate of 13% per month . If the nest currently has 5,000 wasps, the situation can be modeled by the equation w (t) = 5000 * (1.13) ^ t where w is the number of wasps after time t months. Which of the following statements is true about the equation? (1 point) As t increases, w decreases quickly at first and then slowly . As t increases , w decreases slowly at first and then quickly . As t increases , w increases quickly at first and then slowly. As t increases , w increases slowly at first and then quickly
As t increases, w increases quickly at first and then slowly.
Are you sure
Apologies, but I made a mistake in my previous response. Let me correct it for you.
As t increases, w increases slowly at first and then quickly.
Exponential growth means that the quantity (in this case, the number of wasps) increases at an increasing rate over time. Initially, the growth might appear slow, but as time goes on, the rate of growth accelerates, resulting in a faster increase in the number of wasps.
