A rabbit population doubles every 4 weeks.There are currently five rabbits in a restricted area. If t represents the time in weeks and P(t) is the population of rabbits with respect to time about how many rabbits will respect to time about how many rabbits will there be in 98 days

Respuesta :

doubling formula is this:

[tex]P(t)=P(2)^{\frac{t}{d}}[/tex]
where P=initial number of rabbits
t=time
d=time it takes to doulbe

ok, so 4 weeks is the doubling time so that is 4*7=28 days

we wawnt time=98
and oroiginal number of rabbits is 5 so
[tex]P(98)=5(2)^{\frac{98}{28}}[/tex]
[tex]P(98)=5(2)^{3.5}[/tex]
[tex]P(98)=5(2^3)(\sqrt{2})[/tex]
[tex]P(98)=5(8)\sqrt{2}[/tex]
[tex]P(98)=40\sqrt{2}[/tex]
so P(98)≈56.56
we can't have .56 rabbit so round down or up
about 56 or 57 rabbits in 98 days

A rabbit population doubles every 4 weeks. There will be 56 rabbits in 98 days.

Given :

A rabbit population doubles every 4 weeks.

The doubling formula for population is

[tex]P(t)=P(2)^\frac{t}{d}[/tex]

where P is the initial population

t is the time taken to increase

d is the doubling time

Rabbit population doubles every 4 weeks  that is 28 days . So , d=28

We need to find how many rabbits are there in 98 days

the value of t=98 days

initial population is 5 rabbits

Replace all the values

 [tex]P(t)=P(2)^\frac{t}{d}\\P(28)=5(2)^\frac{98}{28}\\P(28)=5 \cdot 2^3\cdot 2^{\frac{1}{2}}\\P(28)=56.56854[/tex]

There be 56 rabbits  in 98 days
