Question

If a population of 200 squirrels has a 10 percent growth rate each year, how many individuals will there be in the population after 3 years (assume that no deaths occur during this period)

Answer 1

For this case we have a function of the form:
y = A * (b) ^ t
Where,
A: initial amount
b: growth rate
t: time
Substituting values we have:
y = 200 * (1.10) ^ (t)
For 3 years we have:
y = 200 * (1.10) ^ (3)
y = 266.2
Rounding off we have:
y = 266
Answer:
there will be 266 squirrels in the population after 3 years
