30. ANS:
a. y  330(1.11) x
b. In the model, 330 represents the initial population of deer. The growth factor is represented by 1 + 0.11
or 1.11.
c. To predict the number of deer present after 5 years, substitute 5 into the function and evaluate.
y  330(1.11) x function model
y  330(1.11) 5 Substitute 5 for x.
y  556 Use a calculator.

There will be about 556 deer in the region.
