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?

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


A=P(1+r)^y

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


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