A population exhibits a finite rate of increase of 191 After

A population exhibits a finite rate of increase of 1.91. After 10 generations, the population size is 146000 individuals. What was the initial population size? Assume the population grows exponentially.

The formula is Nt = N0 ertd , Solve for N0.

I\'m having issues with this problem. I just dont think I\'m using the formula correctly.

Solution

Nt = N0 ert

Nt = 146000

r=1.91

t= 10

146000= N0 e0.0191(10)

146000 = N0 (1.21)

N0 =120661
