Question 714025: Supposed a colony of flies increases according to the law of exponential growth there where 540 flies ( 3 days ago) and 720 flies (1 day ago)
a. Solve for the growth rate
b. Solve for the initial population
c. Develop a mathematical model
d. Use the model to predict the population of flies by tomorrow.
Thank you. I wish you can answer it faster.. :)

t=2 days, because the before and after values for population were measured for a two day time interval. and A=720, number of flies. , would be an expected equation but k needs to be calculated.










Model equation should be used as .

How many flies expected tomorrow? One day ago, there were 720 flies. Tomorrow, will be another t=2 change. Use flies, as a prediction.
