Question

An initial population of 370 quail increases at an annual rate of 29%. Write an exponential function to model the quail population. What will the approximate population be after 2 years?

Answer 1

dn/dt = 0.29 N

N(t) = N(0) exp(0.29 t)

N(0) = 370 what is N(t) when t=2

Note: doubles in about 72/29 = 2.5 years
