Answer 1

Answer:

Given the initial population of termites = 60

After 7 days the population of termites = 225

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given the initial termites and the population of termites after 7 days. Now we are required to find the exponential growth model that will help to predict the future population of termites.  

We have, Y = Ca^x

When the value of x is zero then population (Y) is 60 termites.

Y = Ca^x

60 = Ca^x

Now, Y = 60a^x

At x = 7 days

Y  = 225

225 = 60 a^7

a^7 = 225/60

a = 1.2078

Thus, final population will be, Y = 60(1.2078)^x
