Question

Suppose the population of deer in a region was 3500 in the 2000. Since then the population has grown by 3.5% annually. what is the approximate population in 2020?

Answer 1

3500*3.5/100+3500=???
That the first year, to 2020 multiply by 20

Answer 2

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

Answer 3
