Question

How long will it take for a certain population of fish to triple if the relative growth rate is 45% per year?

Answer 1

n = 3 Year (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Growth rate (r) = 45% = 0.45

Find:

Number of year for 3 times of population (n)

Computation:

Assume;

Current population = P

So,

New population = 3P

A = p(1+r)ⁿ

3P = P(1+0.45)ⁿ

3 = (1.45)ⁿ

n = 2.96 year

n = 3 Year (Approx)
