Answer:
734
Step-by-step explanation:
The growth factor is 1 -8% = 0.92. This is the base of the exponential formula. The multiplier is the initial value, so you have ...
p = 8951×0.92^t
When t=30, this evaluates to ...
p = 8951×0.92^30 ≈ 733.68
The population after half a minute will be about 734.
