A population of 50 deer are introduced into a wildlife sanctuary. It is estimated that the sanctuary can sustain up to 600 deer. Absent constraints, the population would grow by 90% per year. Estimate the population after one year? After two years?

Respuesta :

The amount of deer has to be calculated by this equation:

[tex]A=P(1+r)^y[/tex]

Where P is the population of deers, r is the growth percentage, and y is the number of years.

[tex]A_{1year}=50(1+0.9)^1=95\text{ deers.}[/tex][tex]A_{2years}=50(1+0.9)^2=180.5\text{ deers.}[/tex]
