Answer:

  • We are given a and b
  • So: 782.362(1.02165)^x
  • We want to solve for x which is time
  • We want to find how many termites would be there in 60 days
  • I'm assuming x is in days
  • So set the equation equal to 5000
  • Hence x = 86.5 days
  • Now in 60 days there will be = 2828.36 termites
  • Please ask any questions you may have
