Initial population of 600 penguins triples in size each year for six years. Find size of population after six years
To find the size of the population after six years, we need to calculate the growth of the population over the course of those six years
To find the size of the population after six years, we need to calculate the growth of the population over the course of those six years.
The population initially starts with 600 penguins.
Since the population triples in size each year, we can calculate the population at the end of each year as follows:
Year 1: 600 x 3 = 1800 penguins
Year 2: 1800 x 3 = 5400 penguins
Year 3: 5400 x 3 = 16200 penguins
Year 4: 16200 x 3 = 48600 penguins
Year 5: 48600 x 3 = 145800 penguins
Year 6: 145800 x 3 = 437,400 penguins
Thus, after six years, the size of the penguin population would be 437,400 penguins.
