A population grows exponentially at about 2%
per year. Assume that the population starts with
15 individuals. How many individuals will it have
after 10 years? After 20 years? How long will it
take for the population to double?
Answer properly please
According to the Bat Man, bats live for about 40 years and eat about 1,000 mosquitoes per hour. That means a single bat can eat approximately 1.75 X 108 mosquitoes in its life. Is the Bat Man correct? Show all conversions and explain in complete sentences.
A particular city had a population of 23,000 in 1950 and a population of 30,000 in 1960. Assuming that its population continues to grow exponentially at a constant rate,
what population will it have in 2000?
The population of the city in 2000 will be
people.
