Best Answer

The answer will depend on the initial population and the growth rate. Since these will vary from one situation to another, it is not possible to give a specific answer.

The general answer is

P(n) = P(0)*xn where P(t) is the population in generation n, and x is the multiplier for the growth.

What is the example of an explicit formula?

An explicit formula is a formula in which depicts relations between the sums over complex number zeros and over prime numbers. An example of an explicit formula is: _(t) = _log(_) + Re(_(1/4 + it/2)).


What is a explicit pattern?

An explicit pattern is a pattern that start at one number but it doesn't increase by it.


Does calcium carbonate contains six atoms?

The formula unit for calcium carbonate is CaCO3. The number of atoms in any such formula can be found by adding all the subscripts, including an implicit subscript of 1 when an atom has no explicit subscript. In this instance, the number of atoms is 5, not 6.


How many atoms are there inC2H5OH?

The number of atoms in one molecule of any formula is the sum of all the subscripts in the formula, including the implicit subscript "1" for any atomic symbol with no explicit subscript.Therefore, the number of atoms in the given compound is 2 + 5 + 1 +1, 9.


Explain how prebiotics and probiotics work?

Probiotics are supplements of bacteria that is good for the GI tract (so called "good bacteria"). A common formula of probiotics is called PB-8. There are many formulas of probiotics. Each formula has a different strain or strains of bacteria that is known to be "good." By "good" they mean that these bacteria are either helpful in digestion OR they cause the "bad" bacteria to be less in number.


What is the explicit formula for 12 -6 3 ...?

It looks as if each number is equal to the previous number, multiplied by -1/2. Therefore, one way to write the formula for the n'th term is:-24 x (-1/2)^n


What is N2O7?

The general rule for determining the number of total atoms in a molecular formula is to add all the explicit subscripts shown plus 1 for each atom shown without an explicit subscript. In this formula there are no such atoms, and the total is 2 + 7 or 9 atoms.


What are explicit values?

Explicit values are used as fragments and part of commands or state changes. Most of these are used with number, colors and 3d vectors (or coordinate).
