Question

2. Suppose the population of deer in a region was 3500 in the year 2000. Since then the population has grown by 3.5% annually. What will the approximate population be in the year 2020?

Answer 1

annual growth of 3.5% is a growth factor of (1+.035) or 1.035
the population function is:
\[P = 3500 (1.035)^{t}\]
where t is number of years of growth
plug in t=20 to find population in 2020
