Question

I was given

P12 = 95.75

P14 = 98

K = 100

I was asked to solve r. I Decided to set up two equations being:

98 = P13 + r*P13*(1-P13/100)

P13 = 95.75 + r*95.75*(1-95.75/100)

Solving r via substitution becomes kinda messy, is there an easier way of solving r?

General forumla: Pn+1 = Pn + r*Pn*(1-Pn/K)

Answer 1

Convert 0.00049 to scientific notation.

4.9 ⋅ 103

4.9 ⋅ 104

4.9 ⋅ 10−3

4.9 ⋅ 10−4

Answer 2

i need and easier way to solve r
