Question

IM having trouble trying to solve this problem

Answer 1

Answer:

You would have approximately 201 insects.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the final population of the insects, you need to first insert the values of each variable you know into the equation. The initial population at time $t=0$ would be 100 insects, the rate of population growth coverted to decimal form would be 0.1, and the elapsed time since time $t=0$ is 7 days. Now the new equation would be $P = 100(e)^{0.1*7}$.

   $P = 100(e)^{0.1*7}$

⇒ $P$ ≈ $100 * 2.01$

⇒ $P$ ≈ $201$

You will have 201 insects in 7 days (rounded to the nearest insect).

Answer 2

The answer is 201 Insects
