QUESTION 4 - 1 POINT
The population of rabbits on the farm grows exponentially. This month there are 30 rabbits and last month there were 12 rabbits, What is the growth factor?
Provide your answer below:
Answer
Final Answer: The growth factor is \(\boxed{2.5}\)
Step 1 ：The population of rabbits on the farm grows exponentially. This month there are 30 rabbits and last month there were 12 rabbits. We need to find the growth factor.
Step 2 ：The growth factor of a population that grows exponentially can be calculated by dividing the population at a certain time by the population at a previous time.
Step 3 ：In this case, we need to divide the population of this month (30 rabbits) by the population of last month (12 rabbits).
Step 4 ：Performing the division, we get \(\frac{30}{12} = 2.5\)
Step 5 ：Final Answer: The growth factor is \(\boxed{2.5}\)
