There were no jackrabbits in Australia before 1788 when 24 jackrabbits were introduced. By 1920 the population of jackrabbits had reached 10 billion. If the population had grown exponentially, this would correspond to a 16.2% increase, on average, in the population each year. Which of the following functions best models the population p(t) of jackrabbits t years after 1788?
