Growth Rate Versus Weight Ecologists have studied how a populations intrinsic exponential growth rate r is related to the body weight W for herbivorous mammals. In table 5.2, W is the adult weight measured in pounds, and r is growth rate per year. Animal Weight W r Short-tailed vole 0.07 4.56 Norway rat 0.7 3.91 Rue deer 55 0.23 White-tailed deer 165 0.55 American elk 595 0.27 African elephant 8160 0.06 Find a formula that models r as a power function of W, and draw a graph of this function.
Suppose that the initial size of a population is n0 and the population grows exponentially. Let n(t) be the size of the population at time t. (a) Write a formula for n(t) in terms of the doubling time a. (b) Write a formula for n(t) in terms of the relative growth rate r.
116 Population Growth These exercises use the population growth model. Population of California The population of California was 29.76 million in 1990 and 33.87 million in 2000. Assume that the population grows exponentially. a Find a function that models the population t years after 1990. b Find the time required for the population to double. c Use the function from part a to predict the population of California in the year 2010.
