Rhys Ayers · Answer 1

In this problem we only want to know the exponential growth of the population at a certain time, that is to say, three years, which means that its growth must be greater.

Explanation:

For this we determined the initial growth of the population at one year which is 250.

So making a rule of three:

1 year = 250

3 years = x

So, we have:

250 x 3 = 750; that is, the exponential growth in the third year is equivalent to 750.
