To answer this question, we need to use the formula for exponential growth:
N = N0 * e^(rt)
where:
- N0 is the initial population size
- r is the growth rate (expressed as a decimal)
- t is the time period
We are given that the current population size is 700 and the growth rate is 1.4. However, we are not given a time period. Without a time period, we cannot calculate the size of the next generation of the population.
If we assume a time period of one year, we can use the formula to calculate the size of the population after one year:
N = 700 * e^(0.014 * 1)
N ≈ 710.42
Rounding to the nearest whole number, we get:
N ≈ 710
Therefore, if we assume a time period of one year, the size of the next generation of the population is estimated to be approximately 710 individuals. However, if the time period is different, the size of the next generation will be different.
