Answer:
The correct expression to calculate the number of bees after t days if the initial swarm had 1000 bees is [tex]P = 1000 *e^{0.2*t}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given -
The population of a swarm of killer bees increases by 10 times in 50 days
The rate of increase of population is [tex]r = \frac{10}{50} = 0.2[/tex] per day
As we now the equation of population projection is
[tex]P= P_0 *e^{rt}\\[/tex]
Where P0 = initial population
P is the population after time t
and r is the rate of increase of population
Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -
[tex]P = 1000 *e^{0.2*t}[/tex]
