Suppose that the number of newborns (n) in an insect population can be predicted from the number of adult insects (i) according to the following equation, where r and b are variables related to the rates of population growth: n=ri−bi2. calculate n if r=1.5, b=0.0015, and i=500. rounding to the nearest whole number, n equals which of the following?

N equals to 749 newborn insects.

Explanation:

We have the following to calculate the population of newborn insects.

N = rl - bl2

In this equation we need to replace the values we know that are:

l = 500

r = 1.5

b = 0.0015

Whn we replace the values we have:

N = (1.5)(500) - (0.0015)(500)(2) Now we just do the operations

N = 750 - (0.0015)(1000)

N = 750 - 1.5

N = 748.5  When we roung the nearest whole number we get

N = 749

There were 749 new born insects that are represented by N.

the old alchemists made significant contributions to science even though there starting premises were off a bit. their conclusions after failure would steer them into better directions for investigation. science is no more than close observation and the initial mistakes result in rethinking and retrying experiments.
