EX: In a research experiment, a population of fruit flies is increasing according to the law of exponential growth. After 2 days there are 125 flies, and after 4 days there are 350 flies. How many flies will there be after 6 days? Substitute what we know into the equation(s). Now solve one of the two equations for a. Next, substitute this into the other equation and solve for b.
