The number y of duckweed fronds in a pond after t days is y=a(1230.25)t/16, where a is the initial number of fronds. By what percent does the duckweed increase each day? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is

We need to convert it into the form

where r = Growth rate

n = Time taken

a = Initial quantity

1.56 can be written as , so

So,

In percent

The duckweed will increase each day by .

the answer   is 200

step-by-step explanation:

this is a problem about poisson probabilities.   i don't know if you've

already studied poisson distributions, or if you have a place to look

to read more about the subject.  

here's how you can see a poisson distribution coming.   when there are

a lot of events that may happen at any time (or any place), and when

you're counting how many of them happen at a particular time (or a

particular place), and each event is independent of the others, then

the result is a poisson distribution.   this is roughly true for the

chocolate chips; one chip being in a cookie has only a small effect on

the probability that another chip will be in the cookie.

once you know you have a poisson distribution, you know a lot.   there

is only one parameter to a poisson distribution, so if you know the

mean, you know everything.   the form of the distribution is

  probability of n chips = {[e^(-x)]*(x^n)} / (n! )
