Another destructive species transplanted by humans to the United States is the
Burmese Python, one of the largest snakes in the world. Imported as pets, some
escaped, and many more were released by their owners, possibly after getting
too big to care for. Most places are too cold for the tropical snake, but it has
begun to thrive in southern Florida.
Assume that the Burmese Python population in Florida is modeled by the
formula P(t) = Po: (1.15)? If there were 100,000 Burmese Pythons in 2010 (no
t
one really knows the exact number), how large could the population become by
2050 (without human intervention)?

Without human intervention, by 2050 there will be 26,786,354 Burmese Pythons in the United States.

Given that it is proposed that the Burmese Python is increasing its population at a rate of 1.15 year by year, and that it is estimated that by 2010 there were 100,000 of these in the United States, to estimate how many there will be by 2050 the following calculation should be done:

  • 100,000 x 1.15 ^ (2050-2010) = X
  • 100,000 x 1.15 ^ 40 = X
  • 100,000 x 267.86 = X
  • 26,786,354.62 = X

Therefore, without human intervention, by 2050 there will be 26,786,354 Burmese Pythons in the United States.
