Respuesta :

Answer:

B. The population of deer is increasing by 20% each year

Explanation:

The function that models the population growth of the deer is given as:

[tex]w=160\mleft(1.2\mright)^x[/tex]

We can rewrite the function as:

[tex]\begin{gathered} w=160\mleft(1+0.2\mright)^x \\ w=160(1+20\%)^x \end{gathered}[/tex]

From the above, we see that the population of deer is increasing by 20% each year.
