Linear Population Growth Formula
A pond is initially stocked with 200 fish. The fish population, P, is expected to increase at a constant rate of 100 fish per year. Assuming linear growth, which of the following formulas represents the population after t years?
A
P = 100 + 200t
B
P = 200 - 100(t - 1)
C
P = 100 - 200(t + 1)
D
P = 200 + 100t
