If the scale factor is greater than one the triangle will be enlarged. If the scale factor is between o and 1 the triangle will be smaller.
The number of cows is given by

So, after
years, the number of cows will be

We want this number to be twice as much as the original:

First of all, we can cancel 14 from both sides:

Finally, on the right hand side, we can use the exponent rule

to get

To solve this equation, we must impose that the two exponents are the same:

And clearly this is true if and only if
. So, it will take 5 years for the cow heard to double in number.
You can do the exact same steps to find the doubling time for the sheeps.
