Question 824835: the growth of a herd of a bison follows the rule P(t) = P( base 0 )(2^(t/10) where P(base 0) represents the initial population and P(t) represents population after x years. In how many years will the bison population quadruple its initial population?
Thanks in advance:)

You mean this:
;-----if this is not rendering properly, the exponent is
The initial population's variable is said as, "P sub zero". The BASE in your function is 2.

Your question is to find x for when P(x) is . You need to decide if you want to call the time variable, x or call it t.

We can, for scribing purposes, just say initial population is p and we want t when .

----------the computation has not been completed, so it is for you to finish.
