The initial size of the population is 300. After 1 day the population has grown to 800. Estimate the population after 6 days. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

Solution :

Given initial population = 300

Final population after 1 day = 800

Number of days = 6

∴

P(0) = 300    P(1) = 300

We need to find P(8).

When P(0) = 300

∴ c = 300

∴

When P(1) = 800

∴ k = 750

So, P(8) is

        = 11,614

So the population becomes 11,614 after 8 days.

+25 = x

step-by-step explanation:

here x is the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs are 7 and 24.   by the pythagorean theorem, 7² + 24² must equal x²:

x² = 49 + 576 = 625.   thus, x = +√625 = +25 = x
