Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's first find the exponential function that models the situation in year one. The exponential standard form is
where a is the initial value and b is the growth/decay rate in decimal form. If it is growth it is added to 100% of the initial value; if it is decay it is taken away from 100% of the initial value. We are told that the number of cars in year one was 80 million, so
a = 80 (in millions)
If b is increasing by 10%, then we are adding that amount to the initial 100% we started with to give us 100% + 10% = 110% or, in decimal form, 1.1
The model for our situation is
where y is the number of cars after x years goes by. We want to find the difference between years 3 and 2, so we will use our model twice, replacing x with both a 2 and then a 3 and subtracting.
When x = 2:
and
y = 80(1.21) so
y = 96.8 million cars
When x = 3:
and
y = 80(1.331) so
y = 106.48 million cars
The difference between years 3 and 2 is
106.48 - 96.8 = 9.68 million cars
520 miles.
Ross would be driving double the hours so 260x2=520
1 year = 365 days.
1 day = 24 hours.
1 hour = 60 minutes.
First convert the hours and minutes in Jupiter orbit to days:
14*60 = 840 +9 = 849 minutes.
849 / 60 = 14.15 hours.
14.15 / 24 = 0.59 days.
Jupiter's orbit is 4332.59 days.
Now divide that by 365 for the number of years:
4332.59 / 365 = 11.87 years.

Answer:
2 bags of topsoil.
Step-by-step explanation:
The attached figure shows a flower bed.
One bag of topsoil covers 15 square meters.
We need to find how many bags of topsoil does Tom need to cover his flower bed.
The area of the flower bed is :
Let he has to cover x bags of topsoil. So,
x = Area of flower bed/Area of 1 bag of top soil
x = 30/15
x = 2
Hence, he will need 2 bags of topsoil to cover his flower bed.
