Can someone help me please? ;] http://puu.sh/7poeG.png
guys its an ambush
No its not buddy...undead army ain;t here...lets just answer the question :)
Well even though im not that type of guy this is quite an easy problem..all u have to do is make a equation for it...
I need help setting it up!
Let me figure it out...give me a sec please :)
oh crap its a differential equation -_- Didn't learn this yet...so let me call in the big guns XD @SolomonZelman
yes it is!
or @jdoe0001 :)
just from definition, basically: P'(t) = 0.0135*P(t)
could you work it out for me? :)
I don't know how to do this.. I would like an explanation pretty please! <3
The idea is that the rate of population growth is proportional to the population itself. They're telling you that the constant of proportionality is 0.0135. So, you write it like any other proportionality relation, using the derivative for the rate of change: P'(t) = k*P(t) = 0.0135*P(t) Does that make sense?
^^^ boss
hmm
So, say the population is at 1 million. Then it's growing at a rate of 0.0135*1000000 = 13500 people per year.
then what?
then u watch anime and forget this stuff lol jk...
Well, that's it - that proportionality relation is the differential equation.
