The rabbit population at the city park increases by 7% per year. If there are intially 402 rabbits in the city park. a) Write a model for the population (y) in terms of years (t). y = b) Find the rabbit population in 15 years. (Round to the nearest whole rabbit) c) How long will it take for the rabbit population to reach 3167. Round your answer to 3 decimal places.

Step 1
Step 1: To create a model for the population (Y) in terms of years (t), we can use the formula for exponential growth: Y = P(1 + r)^t where Y is the population after t years, P is the initial population, r is the growth rate (in decimal form), and t is the number Show more…

The population of a colony of rabbits grows exponentially. The colony begins with 15 rabbits; 5 years later there are 340 rabbits. (a) Express the population of the colony of rabbits, P, as a function of time, t, in years. P(t) = (b) Use the graph to estimate how long it takes for the population of rabbits to reach 1000 rabbits. It will take years. (round to nearest 0.01 year)

Population Change The rabbit population on a small is- land is observed to be given by the function $$P(t)=120 t-0.4 t^{4}+1000$$ where $t$ is the time (in months) since observations of the island began. (a) When is the maximum population attained, and what is that maximum population? (b) When does the rabbit population disappear from the island?
