Question

The fox population in a certain region has a relative growth rate of 8 percent per year. It is estimated that the population in the year 2000 was 27000. A) find a function that models the population t years after 2000 (t=0 for 2000) Your answer is P(t)=

Answer 1

Given:

growth rate = 8%

The population in the year 2000 ( t =0) is 27000

The population (P) in the year 2001 ( t =1 ) can be found to be:

`\begin{gathered} P\text{ = 27000 + 0.08}*27000 \\ =\text{ 29160} \end{gathered}`

The population (P) in the year 2002 (t=2) can be found to be:
