Roan Antelope
A rancher decides to establish an exotic species hunting preserve on a 50,000-hectare ranch. The rancher purchases 50 roan antelope, a species native to Africa, and releases them on the ranch on January 1, 1995. One year later, the rancher has 70 roan antelope on the ranch. Find the rate of growth in the roan antelope from 1995 to 1996.
If the population continues to grow at the same rate, what will the population size be in 1997? If this same rate of growth continues, what would be the population size in 2005?
How long will it take the population of roan antelope to double? In what year will the population of roan antelope be 1000?
