Some biologists model the number of species S in a fixed area A (such as an island) by the species-area relationship log(S) = log(c) + k log(A) where c and k are positive constants that depend on the type of species and habitat. (a) Solve the equation for S C-10klog(4) S- (b) Using part (a), if k = 3 and the area is tripled, then by what magnitude is the number of species increased?
