The population of rabbits on an island is growing exponentially . In the year 1990, the population of rabbits was 740 , and by 1997 the population had grown to 870. Predict the population of rabbits in the year 2002 , to the nearest whole number .

The equation represents the function f, and the graph represents the function g. f(x)=3(5/2)^x determine the relationship between the growth factors of f and g. a. the growth factor of g is twice the growth factor of f. b. the growth factor of f is twice the growth factor of g. c. the growth factor of f is 2.5 times the growth factor of g. d. the growth factor of f is the same as the growth factor of g.
