Reading the question, many details are given like how many mice were born, a time length, a period that shows when the mouse reproduces. Being given a time length and period shows that we must be using the formula:
A = Ao (model)t/p
Step 1: Plug in numbers into variables
Step 2: Isolate the model -refer to slide 3 -must use logarithms on both sides to solve for m -bring down the exponent and make it the coefficient (power law:. For example (32 )4. We would multiply 2 and 4. It is the same with logarithm. A logarithm is an exponent. So the exponent 13/3 is multiplied to the logarithm.) -once logm is isolated all that is needed to do is solve for m -a logarithm is an exponent -this is in base 10 because no subscript under log -going from logarithm form to its exponential
