Natalee Brandt · Answer 1

We are given the exponential function y = 3 (2) ^x + 4 where x is the number of years and y is the number of population of species. In this case, we can see that as x increases, y also increases exponentially. when x is equal to 1, y = 10. this means for every year there is an increase of 10 times the population.
