Frоm 1880 tо 1960, the pоpulаtion of North Americаn red foxes declined exponentiаlly from 300,000 to 300. The half-life of the population was 8 years, meaning that after 8 years half of the population of foxes remained. If there were 300,000 foxes in 1880, would there be more or less than 150,000 foxes in 1890? Write 1-2 sentences to explain your reasoning. [a] According to this exponential model, how many foxes were there in 1904? Show your work. Be sure to show your units. [b] If the red fox did not have the protection of the Endangered Species Act, could the population have reached zero according to this model? Explain your answer in 1-2 sentences. [c]
