Question

A continuously growing population of alligators has a population size of 1,000 and an intrinsic rate of increase of r = 0.05 per year. Assuming that this rate of increase remains the same, about how long should it take for the population to reach 4,000?

Answer 1

4 years

Step-by-step explanation:

since the rate remains constant it will be neglected

per year(1 yr) = 1000

x years = 4000

cross multiply

1000x = 4000

x = 4

it will take approximately 4years for the population to reach 4000

i hope this helps
