Plant Reproduction A biennial plant matures 1 year after a seed is planted. In the second year, the plant produces seeds that will become the new plants in the third year, and then the 2-year-old plant dies. Suppose that an animal preserve currently contains 850,000 of a certain biennial and that there are 475,000 plants in their first year and 375,000 in their second year. Suppose also that 65% of the 1-year-old plants survive to the second year and that each 1000 second-year plants give rise to 1250 new first-year plants. Write a matrix product that predicts the number of plants that will be in the animal preserve in n years. Use this product to determine the number of plants in the preserve after 4 years. Round to the nearest thousand plants.
