The image to the question is missing, but I found a matching image, which is attached to this solution
Answer:
3 minutes = 13 dots
100 minutes = 401 dots
t minutes = 4(t) + 1 dots
Step-by-step explanation:
From the image, the following can be noticed:
time (Mins) dots
0 1
1 5
2 9
The pattern gotten from this progression is that, if the time is multiplied by 4, and the result added to one, the result will be the number of dots.
hence, when the time is 0 minutes:
0 × 4 = 0
0 + 1 = 1 ( 1 dot)
when the time is 1 minute
1 × 4 = 4
4 + 1 = 5 (5 dots)
when the time is 2 minutes
2 × 4 = 8
8 + 1 = 9 ( 9 dots)
Therefore,
when the time = 3 minutes
3 × 4 = 12
12 + 1 = 13 dots
at 100 minutes:
100 × 4 = 400
400 + 1 = 401 dots
at t miutes
t × 4 = 4t
4t + 1 = number of dots
Therefore number of dots at t minutes = 4(t) + 1

Answer: On the 29th day
Step-by-step explanation:
According to this problem, no lilypad dies and the lilypads always reproduce, so we can apply the following reasoning.
On the first day there is only 1 lilypad in the pond. On the second day, the lilypad from the first reproduces, so there are 2 lilypads. On day 3, the 2 lilypads from the second day reproduce, so there are 2×2=4 lilypads. Similarly, on day 4 there are 8 lilypads. Following this pattern, on day 30 there are 2×N lilypads, where N is the number of lilypads on day 29.
The pond is full on the 30th day, when there are 2×N lilypads, so it is half-full when it has N lilypads, that is, on the 29th day. Actually, there are lilypads on the 30th, and
lilypads on the 29th. This can be deduced multiplying succesively by 2.
