someone please help
wats ur qstn ?
we're here for you. aal izz well
that is why I am here for
describe how to find the multiplier for an exponential growth rate of 15%
do you mean the growth constant?
15/100
0.15
my mistake
@chikitagee what's the whole problem? is the time given? we cant solve it without time
15/100 +1 = 1.15
it just says to describe how to find the multiplier for an exponential growth rate of 15% and describe how to find the multiplier for a rate of decay of 15%
for growth, 15/100+1 = 1.15 for decay, 1- 15/100 =0.85
oh wait i dont think time is needed. it's already implicity given when time = 1 then the population would be x = x_0 + 0.15 x_0 where x_0 is the initial population now use the formula \[\ln (\frac{x_0}{x}) = kt\] like i said x = x_0 + 0.15 x_0 and t = 1 \[\ln (\frac{x_0}{x_0 - 0.15 x_0}) = k\] \[\ln (\frac{\cancel{x_0}}{\cancel{x_0}(1 - 0.15)}) = k\] \[k = \ln (\frac{1}{1- 0.15})\] does that help?
I think lgba has got the best soln .. gr8 lgba @chikitagee got it ?
yea it does thanks everyone
