variable
Ayushi used the data from a scatterplot to determine a regression model showing the relationship between the population in the area where she lived and the number of years, $x$, after she was born. The result was an exponential growth equation of the form $y={x} _{0}{\left(1+r\right)}^{x}$. Then ${x} _{0}$ most likely represents
- The population in the year that she was born
- The rate of change of the population over time
- The maximum population reached during her lifetime
- The number of years after her birth when the population reached its maximum
