Below is a table of the populations of whooping cranes in the wild from 1940 to 2000. The population rebounded from near extinction after conservation efforts began. The following problems consider applying population models to fit the data. Assume a carrying capacity of 10,000 cranes. Fit the data assuming years since 1940 (so your initial population at time 0 would be 22 cranes).
Year (years since conservation began) | Whooping Crane Population | |
1940(0) | 22 | |
1950(10) | 31 | |
1960(20) | 36 | |
1970(30) | 57 | |
I90(40) | 91 | |
1990(50) | 159 | |
2000(60) | 256 | |

Remember that: A matrix is in row echelon form if Any row that consists only of zeros is at the bottom of the matrix. The first non-zero entry in each other row is 1. This entry is called aleading 1. The leading 1 of each row, after the first row, lies to the right of the leading 1 of the previous row.arrow_forward
