. Use the geometric growth formula Nt = No(ʎ)t . If the New Jersey population of black bears was 5,000 bears in 2020, what would the population be in 2030 with a 20% growth rate? (hint* ʎ = 1+ growth rate)
Expert Solution
Explanation:
Using the formula, we have:
Nt = No(ʎ)t
Where:
Nt = population in 2030 (unknown)
No = population in 2020 (5000 bears)
t = time in years (10 years)
ʎ = 1 + growth rate (1 + 0.20 = 1.20)
