    In 2016 the geese population was at 750. the geese population is expected to grow at a rate of 12% each year. What is the geese population in 2022?

    12% is also 0.12. We have the population growth function:
    P(t) = 750(1.12)^t

    2022 - 2016 is 6 years of growth. We want P(6).
    P(6) = 750(1.12)^6
    P(6) = 750(1.9738)
    P(6) = 1,480.36 ~ 1,480
