Once you’ve set different parameters for starting population size and per capita growth rate, set your starting population size to 100 and your per capita growth rate to 0.5.

Question

Round your answer to the nearest whole number. What is your population size at time 7?

biology/calc problem

Answer 1

Ok, this is simple, if I understand your question well (it's a bit vague)

Starting population = X = 100

Per capita growth rate = 0.5 (a bit too much, but ok, what are those...)

1 (those who are present there) + per capita growth rate = 1.5

put on exponent, 7 cycles, 1.5^7 = about 17

So it's about 1708

Or... Just slap calculator 7 times :D

100 x 1.5 x 1.5 x 1.5 x 1.5 x 1.5 x 1.5 x 1.5
