11. Problem A: The initial population of an annual plant is 500. If, after one round of seed production, the population increases to 1,200 plants, what is the value of λ?

12. Problem B. For the plant population described in Problem A, if the initial population is 500, how large will be population be after six consecutive rounds of seed production?

13. Problem C: For the plant population described above, if the initial population is 500 plants, after how many generations will the population double?

20. Problem D. Suppose that the worldwide population of whooping cranes, with initial population of 22 birds, is increasing exponentially with r max =.0012 individuals per individual per year. How large will the population be after 100 years? After 1000 years?

21. Problem E. How many years will it take the whooping crane population described above to reach 1000 birds? LN(AB) = LN(A) + LN(B)LN(A/B) = LN(A) – LN(B) LN(A B ) = B LN(A)LN(e) = 1 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

22. Problem F. “Doubling Time” is the time it takes an increasing population to double. What is the doubling time for the whooping crane population described above?

23. Problem E. Refer to the whooping crane population described earlier. How fast is the population increasing when the population is 100 birds? How fast is the population increasing once the population reaches 500 birds?

24. Problem F. How large is the whooping crane population when the rate of population change is 5 birds per year? When the rate of population change is 20 birds per year?
