I solved everything but i am unsure how to solve for d) this is a practice sheet

Answer 1

P ≥ 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that models the population is:

`P(t)=12*3^(0.498t)`

At t=0 (Initially):

`\begin{gathered} P(0)=12*3^(0.498*0) \\ =12*1 \\ =12 \end{gathered}`

Since we are told that the population of fruit flies increases, it means that the population cannot be less than 12.
