A scientist is studying the population of a particular species of beetle in an ecosystem. The beetles currently have an estimate

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer/Explanation:

Given an estimated beetle population of 11,500, of which it is estimated to increase approximately by 5% each year, we can calculate the estimated population for each year as follows:

Year Calculation Est. Population

1st yr (current yr) 11,500

2nd yr 11,500*105% 12,075

3rd yr 12,075*105% 12,679

4th yr 12,679*105% 13,313

5th yr 13,313*105% 13,979

6th yr 13,979*105% 14,678

The above is how the table would like showing the estimated population for each year.
