Question

An initial population of 460 quail increases at an annual rate of 21%. Write an exponential function

to model the quail population. What will the approximate population be after 3 years?

Answer 1

the expected population after 3 years is 863.7009

Explanation:

The computation of the expected population after 3 years is shown below

P = P_0 × e^rt

where,

r = 21% = 0.21

t = 3 years

P_0 = 460

Now place these values to the above formula

P = 460 × exp(0.21 × 3)

= 863.7009

hence, the expected population after 3 years is 863.7009

We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come

And, the same is to be considered
