Question 1140464: In an effort to control vegetation overgrowth, 118 rabbits are released in an isolated area free of predators. After 1 year, it is estimated that the rabbit population has increased to 1770. Assuming exponential population growth, what will the population be after another 9 months? Round to the nearest rabbit. Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! P=Poe^rt
1770=118e^12r, working in months
15=e^12r
ln 15=12r
r=0.2257
do for t=21
P=118e^21r or 118e^4.739
=13,491 rabbits
