Using an exponential function, it is found that it will take 24 years for the current population of 4800 deer to reduce to 600.

<h3>What is an exponential function?</h3>

An exponential function is modeled by:

y = ab^x

In which:

  • a is the initial value.
  • b is the rate of change, as a decimal.

In this problem, considering the initial value of 4800, and that the population halves every 8 years, the equation is given by:

A(t) = 4800\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\frac{t}{8}}

The population will be of 600 when A(t) = 600, hence:

A(t) = 4800\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\frac{t}{8}}

600 = 4800\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\frac{t}{8}}

\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\frac{t}{8}} = \frac{600}{4800}

\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\frac{t}{8}} = \frac{1}{8}

\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\frac{t}{8}} = \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^3

Hence:

t/8 = 3.

t = 24.

It will take 24 years for the current population of 4800 deer to reduce to 600.
