we are given with the initial population and is asked for the final population after n years. in this case, we use the formula P(n) = Po (1 + r)^n where r is the rate of growth. 1)  P(n) = Po (1 + r)^n    P(n) = 8600 (1 + 0.03)^3    P(n) = 9397 people
2)  P(n) = Po (1 + r)^n    P(n) = 1500* (1 + 0.02)^4    P(n) = 1624 deers
