You can put this solution on YOUR website! what percent annual increase will allow a population of 2 million fish to increase to a population of 3 million years over 10 years?
----
Let the annual percent increase be "x".
----
Equation:
2(1+x)^10 = 3
---
(1+x)^10 = 3/2
---
10log(1+x) = log(3/2)
log(1+x) = (1/10)0.1761
log(1+x) = 0.01761
---
1+x = 10^0.01761
1+x = 1.0414
x = 0.0414 = 4.15%
