The population of a particular type of bacteria is known to triple in 22 days. What is the daily growth rate

Mathematics

Answer: ∛(3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that at day 0 the population was A.

at day 3, the population will be: 3*A

at day 6, the population will be 3*(3*A) = A*3^2

then, at day N = 3*n (where n = 0, 1, 2.....) the population will be:

P(N) = A*3^n

Particularly, if we take n = 1/3 we will have:

N = 3*1/3 = 1

This means that this is the first day after the day 0.

P(1) = A*3^(1/3)

(then in day one, the population grow by a factor of 3^(1/3))

N = 2 is when n = 2/3, then:

P(2) = A*3^(2/3)

The quotient between P(2) and P(1) is equal to the growth between day one and day two, this should be the same as the growth between day zero and day one.

A*3^(2/3)/(A*3^(1/3)) = 3^( 2/3 - 1/3) = 3^(1/3)

So we found that the daily growth rate is 3^(1/3) or ∛(3)

See below for the proof of the equation \frac{ax + by}{x + y} - \frac{ax - by}{x - y}= 2(a - b)

<h3>How to prove the equation?</h3>

The equation is given as:

\frac{ax + by}{x + y} - \frac{ax - by}{x - y}= 2(a - b)

Take the LCM

\frac{(ax + by)(x - y) -(ax - by)(x + y)}{(x + y)(x - y)}= 2(a - b)

Expand

\frac{ax^2 - axy + bxy - by^2 -ax^2 - axy + bxy + by^2}{(x + y)(x - y)}= 2(a - b)

Evaluate the like terms

\frac{-2axy + 2bxy }{(x + y)(x - y)}= 2(a - b)

Rewrite as:

\frac{-2axy + 2bxy }{x^2 - y^2}= 2(a - b)

Factorize the numerator

\frac{2(a - b)(x^2 - y^2)}{x^2 - y^2}= 2(a - b)

Divide

2(a - b)= 2(a - b)

Both sides are equal

Hence, the equation \frac{ax + by}{x + y} - \frac{ax - by}{x - y}= 2(a - b) has been proved
