Rate of growth of snake, when it is 5 years old, is 730 meters per year.

Explanation:

The length x metre of green anaconda snake, which is t years old, is given approximately by formula x=0.72t1, where 1<t<10.

At an ageof 5 tears its length would be

0.7251=0.79=0.73=2.1 meters.

As x=0.72t1, rate of growth dxdt is given by

dxdt=0.70×122x1×2=0.72x1

and rate of growth of snake when it is 5 years old is

0.7251=0.73=730 meters per year
