I was under the impression that population growth always uses continuous growth such as: A=Pert. However, I have the following question in my text about population that doesn't use that.
Question:
The fox population in a certain region has an annual growth rate of 9% per year. In the year 2012, there were 23,900 fox counted in the area. What is the fox population predicted to be in the year 2020?
This question is very simple to set up and answer as long as you know what to use. So I'm wondering how to know what to use, will a continuous growth question always state that it's continuous?
