A team of biologists introduces a herd of deer onto an uninhabited island. The biologists model the expected growth of the deer population on the island with the function P(t) = P0 · 20.25t, where P0 is the initial population and t is the elapsed time in years. What is the expected deer population in 20 years? (1)In 4 years, the expected deer population is 50. (2)In 12 years, the expected deer population is 200.
