In a deciduous forest of Maine, there are 300 Falcons living in a certain region at the beginning of the year. Scientists have determined that these Falcons demonstrate exponential growth and that their per capita growth rate is 0.067. What will the population of Falcons be in 5 years?

Answer:

419 Falcons

Step-by-step explanation:

P= Poe^rt

P= population at time t = ?

Po = initial population = 300

r= growth rate = 0.067

t = time taken = 5 years

P = 300e^(0.067 * 5)

P = 419 Falcons
