A population of protozoa develops with a constant relative growth rate of 0.469 per member per day. On day zero the population c
1 answer:
If the growth rate is 0.469 per member per day and in the beginnning there are 5 members then the population size after eight days is 108.42.
Given growth of population of protozoa 0.469 per member per day and population in beginninng is 5 members.
We have to find the population afte eight days.
First of all we have to find the function or equation showing sum of population after t days.
Because it is given that the rate is 0.469 per member per day it means it is like compounding.
The equation which shows the sum after compounding is P
where P is the amount in beginning, r is the rate and n is the number of years.
In this problem the equation will be 5 where t is number of days.
We have to put the value of t=8 to find the population after 8 days=
=5
=5*21.68
=108.42
Hence the population of protozoa after 8 days is 108.42.
