Population growth can be modeled using the formula P=Cr^t where C is the initial population, r is the growth factor, and t is the time in years. If you start with 100 mice, what will their population be in 5 years if it doubles every year?
So we know that there are 100 mice and their population doubles every year over a span of 5 years. We can use the formula provided which is [tex]P=Cr ^{t} [/tex] We know the initial population (100) the growth factor (double or 2x) and the time (5 years) P=(100)[tex]2 ^{5} [/tex] (2×2×2×2×2) P=(100)32 P=3,200 Hope that helped :)
