Exponential Population Growth Calculation

Medium Advanced Math Exponential Functions

In a certain ecosystem, the population of rabbits after $t$ months can be modeled by the exponential function:

$$P(t) = P_0 e^{rt}$$

where:

  • $P_0$ is the initial population,
  • $r$ is the growth rate (expressed as a decimal),
  • $t$ is the time in months, and
  • $e$ is the base of the natural logarithm, approximately equal to 2.71828.

Suppose the initial rabbit population is 300, and the growth rate is 0.05. Calculate the rabbit population after 10 months.
