A certain species of bird was introduced in a certain county 25 years ago. Biologists observe that the population doubles every 10 years, and now the population is 21,000. What was the initial size of the bird population?

Respuesta :

The initial bird population density is 3713.

Given info;

A certain county received a new species of bird 25 years ago. According to biologists, the population doubles every ten years and is currently 21,000 people.

To get the initial size of the bird population;

We use the formula,

[tex]P(t)=Po* 2^\frac{t}{10}[/tex]

Where Po is the initial population and t is the time in years.

[tex]21000= P(25)=Po*2^\frac{25}{10}[/tex]

[tex]21000= Po*2^\frac{5}{2}[/tex]

[tex]21000= 4\sqrt{2}*Po[/tex]

[tex]Po = 21000/4\sqrt{2}[/tex]

[tex]Po = 3712.31\\Po = 3713[/tex]

Hence, the initial size of the bird population is 3713.
