A group of humans traveling in space discover a habitable planet. They settle down there and start populating it. Their population grows at a steady rate and doubles every 10 years. Thousand years after the first group of humans arrived, the planet is filled to half its carrying capacity. How many more years are there to reach the carrying capacity of the planet? Assume there are no resource crisis and they grow at the same rate. A) 500 years
B) 1000 years
C) 5 years
D) 1 year
E) 10 years

Respuesta :

Answer:

10 years

Explanation:

As you can understand from the question it is given that the planet is already filled to half of its capacity. Also the population doubles in 10 years. To fill up the planet completely the population needs to double only once. To do that only 10 years are required.

As it is mentioned there are no other factors affecting the growth rate, in 10years the planet will be filled to its carrying capacity.
