Question: 4 A wildlife researcher studying the growth of a fox population in a particular region records the number of foxes in the year 2018. She determines that if the fox population keeps growing the function P(t)=500(1.05)^t will model the number of foxes, P, after tyears Which statement correctly interprets this model? A. The number of foxes in this particular region is originally 500 and increases by 5% per year. The number of foxes in this particular region is originally 5 and B. increases by 500% per year. The number of foxes in this particular region is originally 5 and C. increases by 500 per year. The number of foxes in this particular region is originally 500 and D. increases by 5 per year.

The correct interpretation of the model $P(t)=500(1.05)^{t}$ is:<br /><br />A. The number of foxes in this particular region is originally 500 and increases by $5\%$ per year.<br /><br />Explanation:<br />- The initial number of foxes is represented by the coefficient 500 in the function $P(t)=500(1.05)^{t}$.<br />- The growth rate is represented by the base 1.05 in the function $P(t)=500(1.05)^{t}$, which indicates a $5\%$ increase per year.<br /><br />Therefore, the correct interpretation is that the number of foxes in this particular region is originally 500 and increases by $5\%$ per year.
