Answer -
If adequate quantity of food resources are available to individuals in a population, it grows exponentially. The integral form of exponential growth equation can be used to estimate the exponential growth, which is as follows:
Nt┬а= No┬аert┬атАФтАФтАФтАФтАУequation (1)
Where, Nt┬аis the populationdensity after тАШtтАЩ time
No┬аis the population densityat time zero
e is the base of natural logarithm = 2.71828
r is the intrinsic rate of natural increase
Let the current population density be тАШxтАЩ
тИ┤ The population density after two years will be 2x and t givenis 3 years
Substituting these values in equation (1)
Therefore, the intrinsic rate of naturalincrease of the population is 0.2311
