when t=0, Q=0.414 = a
e^.885 = 2.423, so Q = .414(2.423^t)
population grows by a factor of 2.423 every period.
well, duh: k = 0.885 = 88.5%, though it's not usually expressed as a percent.
Actually, that's k if you express Q as a e^kt
Give the starting value a, the growth rate r, and the continuous growth rate k.
Round the answer for r to two decimal places
Q = 0.414(e^0.885)^t
a = ?
r = ?%
k = ?%
I found a to be 0.414 but when finding the percentage for r and k I got stuck.
