Question 391267: Use the exponential growth function P(t) = P0^e^kt where P0 is the initial population and P(t) is the population at time t, to determine the growth factor K of caribou in Canada that grew from 4700 in 1954 to about 472,000 in 1984 Answer by nerdybill(7384) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Use the exponential growth function P(t) = P0^e^kt where P0 is the initial population and P(t) is the population at time t, to determine the growth factor K of caribou in Canada that grew from 4700 in 1954 to about 472,000 in 1984
.
Given:
P(t) = P0^e^kt
Po is 4700
P(t) is 472000
t = 1984-1954=30
.
47200 = 4700e^(30k)
47200/4700 = e^(30k)
ln(47200/4700) = 30k
ln(47200/4700)/30 = k
ln(472/47)/30 = k
0.07689 = k
