On the first day of spring, an entire field of flowering trees blossoms. The population of locusts consuming these flowers rapid

ly increases as the trees blossom. The locust population gains 6/7 of its size every 2.4 days, and can be modeled by a function, L, which depends on the amount of time, t (in days). Before the first day of spring, there were 4600 locusts in the population. Write a function that models the locust population t days since the first day of spring.

Answer:

L(t) = 4600\bigg(\dfrac{6}{7}\bigg)^{\frac{t}{2.4}}  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Number of locusts on first day = 4600

Gain in locust population every 2.4 days =

\dfrac{6}{7}

Thus, we can write the following function to model locust population in t days.

L(t) = 4600\bigg(\dfrac{6}{7}\bigg)^{\frac{t}{2.4}}

is the required function.

L(t) is a dependent function on t, L(t) is locusts population and t is amount of time in days.
