To predict the future population of deer in the region after six years, we need to calculate the compound interest using the formula:
Future Value = Present Value * (1 + r)^t
Where:
Present Value = 435 deer
r = 9% (0.09)
t = 6 years
Plugging in the values:
Future Value = 435 * (1 + 0.09)^6
Future Value = 435 * (1.09)^6
Future Value = 435 * 1.655872
Future Value ≈ 719.342
Therefore, the predicted number of deer in the region after six years is approximately 719.
In a particular region of a national park, the are currently 435 deer, and the population is increasing at an annual rate of 9%.
Predict the number of deer that will be in the region after six years.
