Question

HELP PLEASE!!!

The bear population in Canada was 380,000 in the year 2015, and environmentalists think that the population is increasing at a rate of 2.5% per year.
Consider the function that represents the exponential growth of the bear population in Canada.

Part A: Defines a variable for the function and state what the variable represents.

Part B: What is a reasonable domain for the situation?

Part C: Write the function that represents the exponential growth of the bear population.

Part D: What will the bear population estimated to be in 2050?

Answer 1

The population of Bear in 2050 is 4750000

Explanation:

A) The exponential growth equation for bear is as follows -

dN/dT = rmax * N

Where dN/dT = change in population

rmax is the maximum rate of change

N = Base population

B) Here the per capita rate of increase (r) will always be a positive value irrespective of the and hence we will assume this population to be growing exponentially.

C) dN/dT = rmax * N

D) dN / 5 = 2.5 * 380,000

dN = 5*2.5 * 380000

= 4750000
