Question 631370: A beehive has a population of 200 bees.In one week,the population increases to 210.Predict the bee population in three weeks.

The increase after the first week = 210/200 = 1.05
If the population increases by the same rate, then after the 2nd week there will be 210*1.05 = 221 (rounding up)
After the 3rd week there will be 221*1.05 = 232 (round up)
The general formula is P(n) = 200*1.05^n where n is the number of weeks
