A skull cleaning factory cleans animal skulls of deer, buffalo and other types of animals using flesh-eating beetles.
The factory owner started with only 8 adult beetles.
After 43 days, the beetle population grew to 24 adult beetles.
How long did it take before the beetle population was 8000 beetles?
:
The exponential equation:
find k, when t=43
43k = ln(3)
43k = 1.0986
k =
k = .02555
:
let t = time for 8000 of these creatures
t =
t = 270.36 days
