Question
Suppose that poaching reduces the population of an endangered animal by
2​%
per year. Further suppose that when the population of this animal falls below
60​,
its extinction is inevitable​ (owing to the lack of reproductive options without severe​ in-breeding). If the current population of the animal is
1400​,
when will it face​ extinction? Comment on the validity of this exponential model.
 
 
 
It will take about
nothing
years for the animal to face extinction.
​(Do not round until the final answer. Then round to the nearest whole number as​ needed.)
Comment on the validity of this exponential model.
 
The model is
 
valid
not valid
because the initial population is
 
very high
not very high
and at this rate of​ decaying, the number of years predicted by the model is
 
reasonable
not reasonable
for the population to face extinction due to the lack of reproductive options.
