Answer: On the 29th day
Step-by-step explanation:
According to this problem, no lilypad dies and the lilypads always reproduce, so we can apply the following reasoning.
On the first day there is only 1 lilypad in the pond. On the second day, the lilypad from the first reproduces, so there are 2 lilypads. On day 3, the 2 lilypads from the second day reproduce, so there are 2×2=4 lilypads. Similarly, on day 4 there are 8 lilypads. Following this pattern, on day 30 there are 2×N lilypads, where N is the number of lilypads on day 29.
The pond is full on the 30th day, when there are 2×N lilypads, so it is half-full when it has N lilypads, that is, on the 29th day. Actually, there are lilypads on the 30th, and
lilypads on the 29th. This can be deduced multiplying succesively by 2.
Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
You got everything correct so far except for #4.
4. Yes, it is 1. But it would be in months.
So you would put:
1 month = x
12 months = 1 year.
Since the population increases by 1.5 times a <em>month.</em>
For question number 3.
The equation should be:
<- Function
<- Function when x is 12 months (1 year)
(Put those both the same way I put it.)
It gives you the equation to work with, you just have to plug in the values.
1.5 is in the parenthesis because it needs to be the one that is raised by an exponent.
100 is the initial population, so it stays on the outside.
x is the exponent
