Question


1) N=39062500
2) N=19531250
3) N=9765625
4) N=3906250
I don't believe this is right but I just used the value of N at year 10 and divided it by lambda to solve for N0.

Chart 1 EXERCISE 1: Geometric population growth This exercise illustrates the dramatic effect that increases in lambda can have on population growth. Recall that the written general form of geometric population growth is Nr = Non = 10 7 TIME 0 4 5 10 250 1250 6250 31250 156250 781250 4E+06 19531250 N 2 50 1 25000000 10 With the above model, where No starts at 2, enter the 11 values below and determine population size at year 10 1211) =0.5 N10- 1312) =1.0 N10 = 1413) =2.0 N10- 1514) =5.0 N10- 5000000 DOD00 5000000 16 4 10 TIME 17 18 19 20 21 22 Now move to Exercise 2 by clicking on the Ex 2 tab below 23 24

Explanation / Answer

1) given that, Nt = N0*()t

where,  N0 = 2, = 0.5 and t = 10 yrs

therefore, Nt = 2 * (0.5)10 = 2 * 0.0009765625 = 0.0019531250

2) = 1

N10 = 2 * (1)10 = 2

3)   = 2

N10 = 2 * 210 = 2 * 1024 =2048

4)   = 5

N10 = 2 * 510 = 2 * 9765625 = 19531250
