Question

Instead, now suppose that P(x) = 5band b = 2. What is the weekly percent growth rate in thiscase? What does this mean in every-day language?

Answer 1

According to the given value of b, we can determine the growth rate by substracting 1 from the value of b, that is 2, and converting the result to a percent:

`\begin{gathered} 2-1=1 \\ 1\cdot100=100\% \end{gathered}`

It means that the weekly growth rate is 100%.

In every day language, it means that every week, the number of fish in the lake doubles the number of the last week.
