This exercise uses the population growth model a grey squirrel population was introduced in a certain county of great britain 40 years ago. biologists observe that the population doubles every 8 years, and now the population is 80,000
(a) what was the initial size of the squirrel population? squirrels
(b) estimate the squirrel population 10 years from now. (round your answer to the nearest whole number.) squirrels
(c) sketch a graph of the squirrel population.
(assume t = 0 corresponds to the initial introduction.) n(t) n(t) 25 25 2 2 15 15 1 100 000 5 5 50 10 20 30 40 50 10 20 30 40
