A certain species of alligators is to be introduced into a swamp, and wildlife experts estimate the population will grow to P(t) = (803)^(3t/3) where t represents the number of years from the time of introduction. Step 1 of 2: What is the tripling-time for this population of alligators?
Added by Lorena C.
Step 1
Step 1:** Calculate the initial population when t = 0: \[P(0) = 803^{3(0)/3} = 803^0 = 1\] ** Show more…

A certain species of deer is to be introduced into a forest, and wildlife experts estimate the population will grow to P(t) = 944 * 3^t, where t represents the number of years from the time of introduction. Step 1 of 2: What is the tripling time for this population of deer?

A certain species of deer is to be introduced into a forest, and wildlife experts estimate the population will grow to P(t) = 759(3^t), where t represents the number of years from the time of introduction. Step 1 of 2: What is the tripling-time for this population of deer? Step 2 of 2: How long will it take for the population to reach 20493 deer, according to this model?

The alligator, at one time an endangered species, is the subject of a protection program. The formula $$P=-10 x^{2}+475 x+3500$$ models the alligator population, $P,$ after $x$ years of the protection program, where $0 \leq x \leq 12 .$ Use the formula to solve Exercises $76-77$ After how long is the population up to $5990 ?$
