Answer:
- 13
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Use formula for continuous interest:</u>
- A =
, where r- interest rate, t- time in years
<u>If A = 3P, and r = 0.085 then the equation is:</u>
- ln 3 = 0.085t
- 1.099 = 0.085t
- t = 1.099 / 0.085
- t = 12.9 ≈ 13 years
First we need to know how many months is 2 years. To answer that we multiply the number of months in a year by 2 and get 48 months.
Every 3 months the population of turtles doubles, but to get how many times the population doubles, you need to divide 48 months by 3 to get 16.
So population of 400 will get <u>doubled</u> 16 times in the following <u>two</u> years.
We construct the following equation where is the final population,
Hope this helps. :)
