foxes.



(a) How many foxes were introduced into the protected area?
  foxes


(b) CalculateN(6). (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

N(6) =


Explain the meaning of the number you have calculated.
This means that after 6 years there were about  foxes in the protected area.


(c) Explain how the population varies with time. Include in your explanation the average rate of increase over the first 10-year period and the average rate of increase over the second 10-year period.


The fox population is constant.The fox population is growing, but the population does not grow as rapidly in later years as it did early on.    The fox population is growing, but the population does not grow as rapidly in early years as it did later on.



(d) Find the carrying capacity for foxes in the protected area.
 foxes


(e) As we saw in the discussion of terminal velocity for a skydiver, the question of when the carrying capacity is reached may lead to an involved discussion. We ask the question differently. When is 97% of carrying capacity reached? (Round your answer to the nearest year.)
after  years
