Answer:

See below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

a.  The factor of growth = 1.08 per year so

P =  20(1.08)^t   where P = the bear population and t = the time in years since 2010.

b.  It is 10 years after 2010 so:

In 2020:  P = 20 * (1.08)^10

= 43 bears.

c. When P = 100 we have:

100 = 20 * (1.08)^t    

(1.08)^t = 100/20 = 5

t ln 1.08 = ln 5

t =  20.9  years.

So there will be more than 100 bears in the year 2010 + 21

= 2031.
