Question

Solve for logistic growth

If an island in the Channel Islands off the coast of California were "seeded" with an initial population of 15 grey foxes and the carrying capacity of the island was 115 and growth rate of the grey fox population was 2.25, what would the population be after 17 years? What type of growth model does this scenario describe? Show your work. Round up or down as appropriate.

Answer 1

Initial population 15 grey foxes.

Growth rate of the get fox population was 2.25

So, after 17yrs the would be 53 foxes approximately.

This scenario describes exponential growth.
