Question

IM having trouble trying to solve this problem

Answer 1

The answer is 201 Insects

Answer 2

You would have approximately 201 insects.

Explanation:

To calculate the final population of the insects, you need to first insert the values of each variable you know into the equation. The initial population at time
`t=0` would be 100 insects, the rate of population growth coverted to decimal form would be 0.1, and the elapsed time since time
`t=0` is 7 days. Now the new equation would be
`P = 100(e)^(0.1*7)`.

`P = 100(e)^(0.1*7)`

⇒
`P` ≈
`100 * 2.01`

⇒
`P` ≈
`201`

You will have 201 insects in 7 days (rounded to the nearest insect).
