Question

Population growth can be modeled using the formula p=cr^t, where C is the initial population, r is the growth factor, and t is time in years. Starting with 50 mice, what will be the population in 4 yrs. if it doubles every year?
A) 100
B) 200
C) 400
D) 800

Answer 1

Population growth can be modeled using the formula p=cr^t, where C is the initial population, r is the growth factor, and t is time in years. Starting with fifty mice, the population in four years if it doubles every year would be 800.

c=50, r=2, t=4

The answer would be letter D.
