THINKING (Level)
A zoologist tracks the population of a species of butterfly at the zoo over several years. From the table of
values, determine an equation that models the butterfly’s population growth and determine the number of
years before the population is 5 times greater than the original number.

P(t)
OR An exponential function with a base of has been compressed vertically by a factor of and
reflected in the y-axis. Its asymptote is the line y = –4. Its y-intercept is (0, ). Write an equation of
the function and state its domain and range.
