The expression 12(1.015)^t models the population of elephants in a wildlife refuge after t years since 1975.
What does the value 12 represent?

• The predicted increase in number of elephants in the refuge each year.

• The predicted decrease in number of elephants in the refuge each year.

• The number of years it will take for the elephant population to stop increasing.

• The initial amount of elephants in the park.
