The population density of a particular insect species was determined to be 15,000 adults per hectare in the summer of 1996, 21,000 adults per hectare in the summer of 1997, and 29,400 adults per hectare in the summer of 1998. Based on these population estimates, what is your estimate of λ, the annual rate of geometric growth?
