The exponential growth equation is p(t) = p(0)* e ^((0.328418)*t)p(t)=p(0)e(0.328418)t

Explanation:

p(0) =34 ; p(12) =1750 p(0)=34;p(12)=1750 , exponential growth equation

is P(12) = p(0) * e ^(kt) ; t =12 :. e^(k*12) = (p(12))/(p(0))

Taking natural log on both sides we get

k*t = ln ((p(12))/(p(0)))= ln (1750/34); (ln e) =1

or 12k = ln (1750/34) or k = ln (1750/34) /12 = 0.328418

So the exponential growth equation is p(t) = p(0)* e ^((0.328418)*t)

. where p(0) is population at time t=0 and

p(t) is population at time t . [Ans]
