Show your work for full credit!!! 1. Grey squirels were introduced in England 30 years ago. Biologists observed that the population doubles every 6 years, and now the population is around 100,000. a. How many squirrels were originally introduced? b. Estimate how many grey squirrels will be there in 10 years

Solution

let initial population was So

it doubles every 6 years

2 So = So e^6k

ln 2 = 6k

k = 0.1155

100,000 = So e^30(0.1155)

So = 100000/ e^30(0.1155)

So = 3125

initial populatipon was 3125

b) grey squirrels in 10 years

S= 3125 e^0.1155(10)

S = 9918.823

so population in 10 years will be 9919 squirrels
