Answer:
FV(p)= PV*(1 + g)^t
Step-by-step explanation:
Giving the following information:
Number of insects (PV)= 1,500
Increase rate= 3 weekly
<u>First, we need to calculate the daily growth rate:</u>
Daily rate (g)= [3^(1/7)] - 1
Daily rate (g)= 0.16993
<u>Now, by using the following formula, we can determine the population p in any given day t:</u>
FV(p)= PV*(1 + g)^t
<u>For, example after 7 days:</u>
FV(p)= 1,500*(1.16993^7)
FV(p)= 4,500
<u>For example, after 10 days:</u>
FV(p)= 1,500*(1.16993^10)
FV(p)= 7,206
16t -2(2t+5) =14
distribute the parenthesis first:
16t-4t-10 = 14
combine like terms:
12t - 10 = 14
add 10 to both sides:
12t = 24
divide both sides by 12
t = 24/12
t = 2
