A group of 20 rabbits is introduced to a rabbit farm. After t years the number of rabbits, N. is modelled by the exponential equation $N=20e^{0.6t}$. Predict the number of rabbits after 3 years.

A group of 20 rabbits is introduced to a rabbit farm. After t years the number of rabbits, N. is modelled by the exponential equation $N=20e^{0.6t}$. Determine how long it will take for the number of rabbits to reach 400. Give your answers to an appropriate degree of accuracy.

The model for the population, P. of wombats in a nature reserve is $P=50e^{0.8t}$, where is measured in years. Write down how many wombats were introduced to the reserve

The model for the population, P. of wombats in a nature reserve is $P=50e^{0.8t}$, where is measured in years.

Calculate how long it will take for the original population to quadruple.

Assume that the population is modelled by the standard equation, and that

Calculate the rate of grow
