A population of a certain species of turtle is 28,000 animals
and is increasing at the rate of 2% per year.
This paragraph describes a(n) Select an answer linear growth linear

decay scenario.
Write an equation for y, the population at time t (in years),
representing the situation.
y =
How many turtles are in the population after 15 years?
The initial population is 28,000 and the growth rate is 2% per year.
At the end of first year the population is
At the end of second year population is increased by 2 % of the population in first year whic is
and so on..
The population after t years is
Which is an exponential function and
So this is an exponential growth.
Let y = the population after t years. Then
For t = 15 we have
But y must be an integer. Hence the population after 15 years is 37684.

POPULATION MODELS: PLEASE ANSWSER ASAP: ALL 3 AND WILL RATE U ASAP. The logistic growth model describes population growth when resources are constrained. It is an extension to the exponential growth model that includes an additional term introducing the carrying capacity of the habitat. The differential equation for this model is: dP/dt=kP(t)(1-P(t)/M) Where P(t) is the population (or population density) at time t, k > 0 is a growth constant, and M is the carrying capacity of the habitat. This...
Modeling Exponential Growth and Decay A research student is working with a culture of bacteria that doubles in size every 26 minutes. The initial population count was 1425 bacteria. a. Rounding to four decimal places, write an exponential equation representing this situation. B(t) = (Let t be time measured in minutes.) b. Rounding to the nearest whole number, use B(t) to determine the population size after 5 hours. The population is about bacteria after 5 hours. (Recall that t is...
Modeling Exponential Growth and Decay A biologist recorded a count of 360 bacteria present in a culture after 7 minutes and 1200 bacteria present after 20 minutes. a. To the nearest whole number, what was the initial population in the culture? The initial population was around bacteria. b. Rounding to four decimal places, write an exponential equation representing this situation. B(t) = c. To the nearest minute, how long did it take the population to double? The doubling time of...
