Question 1095592: the are covered by certain invasive plants triples each year. When the plants were discovered in a region, they discovered 1 m^2. Let y be the number of years since the plants were discovered in that region. The plants now cover 59,049 m^2. What equation could be used to find how many years ago the plants were first discovered? Answer by ikleyn(52787) (Show Source):
After reading this post, I still have a question:
Does the area for the next year contain the area of the preceding years inside (like new area absorbs the previous one)
Or the area of each next year is separate (and is new) area ?
Unfortunately, the condition does not allow to choose between these two different scenarios.
