The population of deer forest is currently 800 individuals. Scientists predict that this population will grow at a rate of 20 percent per year.

C. 3.8 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential Growth

The natural growth of some magnitudes can be modeled by the equation:

Where P is the actual amount of the magnitude, Po is its initial amount, r is the growth rate and t is the time.

The actual population of deer in a forest is Po=800 individuals. It's been predicted the population will grow at a rate of 20% per year (r=0.2).

We have enough information to write the exponential model:

It's required to find the number of years required for the population of deers to double, that is, P = 2*Po = 1600. We need to solve for t:

Dividing by 800:

Taking logarithms:

Dividing by log 1.2:

Calculating:

t = 3.8 years

C. 3.8 years

sorey if i hav bad engelish im bad engelish

because linear equations are a lot simpler than quadratics equations, and linear equations formula is a lot easier to memorize. that's why i think they're harder.
