Question

Instructions: Interpret the function given in the context of the real-world situation described to answer the question.

Answer 1

Given:

$\begin{gathered} W(d)=1650(.85)^d \\ where,\text{ d is the number of days} \end{gathered}$

Requirement:

The percentage of the population of the weed increases each day.

Explanation:

let 1650.85 = P

So the percentage increases each day =

$\frac{P^d-P^{d-1}}{P^{d-1}}*\text{ 100}$$=\text{ \lparen P}^1^{\text{ }}-\text{ 1\rparen *100}$

B

$(1650.85^1-1)*100$

By putting the value of P

Percentage = 164985%

Final Answer:

164985%
