In 1966, a Miami boy smuggled three Giant African Land Snails into the country. His grandmother...

In 1966, a Miami boy smuggled three Giant African Land Snails into the country. His grandmother eventually released them into the garden, and in seven years there were approximately 18,000 of them. The snails are very destructive and had to be eradicated. According to the USDA, it took 10 years and cost $1 million to eradicate them.

a.) Assuming the snail population, P(t), grows exponentially, write an expression for it in terms of the number of years, t, since their release.

e.) For each function listed below, say whether it is equivalent to the function from part (a) (apart from rounding). If it is equivalent, tell what information it highlights about the real world situation.

Q(t) = 3(2)^t/0.5577

Q(t) = 3(6000)^t/7
