The population of elk on the Bridger Range in the Rocky Mountains of western Montana can be modeled by the equation pn+1 = pn + 2.5pn(1 - pn ). The population in 1984 was 10% of the maximum population sustainable. What percent of the maximum sustainable population should be present in 1994?

It should be present 54% of the maximum sustainable population in 1994.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a equation of the evolution of the population of elk, expressed as the proportion of the maximum sustainable population.

This equation is:

At n=1984, the population proportion was 10%.

We have to calculate the population proportion for 1994.

We start by calculating it for 1985:

If we do it until 1994, we get:

slope is 35 and 20 miles is the y-intercept.
