It would take 70 years for the deer population to reach 800.
An exponential function is in the form:
y = abˣ
where b is the multiplier, y, x are variables and a is the initial value.
Let y represent the population and x represent the time in years.
a = 200, b = 100% + 2% = 102% = 1.02
y = 200(1.02)ˣ
For a population of 800:
800 = 200(1.02)ˣ
ln(4) = xln(1.02)
x = 70 years
It would take 70 years for the deer population to reach 800.
