An exponential function W such that W ( t ) = W 0 e kt for k > 0 describes the first month of growth

An exponential function W such that

W(t) = W0ekt

for

k > 0

describes the first month of growth for crops such as maize, cotton, and soybeans. The function value

W(t)

is the total weight in milligrams,

W0

is the weight on the day of emergence, and t is the time in days. It is often difficult to measure the weight

W0

of a plant from when it first emerges from the soil. If, for a species of cotton,

k = 0.21

and the weight after 10 days is 700 milligrams, estimate

W0.

(Round your answer to two decimal places.)
