A wildlife biologist determines that there are approximately 200 deer in a region of a national park. The population grows at a rate of 7% per year. Write an equation to represent the exponential A wildlife biologist determines that there are approximately 200 deer in a region of a national park. The population grows at a rate of 7% per year. Write an equation to represent the exponential growth of the population.

Answer 1

Answer:

FV= 200*(1.07^n)

Step-by-step explanation:

Current population= 200 deer

Growth rate= 7% per year

To calculate the future value of deer in any given years, we need to use the following formula:

FV= PV*(1+g)^n

FV= future value

PV= present value

g= growth rate

n= number of years

FV= 200*(1.07^n)

For example, the population in 5 years:

FV= 200*(1.07^5)

FV= 281
