Suppose a nuclear power plant disaster occurs. How could GDP be a "false beacon" in this case?

If there was a nuclear plant disaster, then GDP would be a false beacon because it would account for government spending but not for the pollution caused.

<h3>Why would GDP be a false beacon?</h3>

Two of the components of GDP are government spending and private investment.

If there is a nuclear plant disaster, either the government will spend a lot to clean it up, or a private company will depending on if the plant is public or private.

GDP would therefore increase.

This would be a false beacon however, because this increase would not take into account the nuclear pollution that would have occurred that would negatively impact future production.

7) (12 + 6)/(2 +4)
(18)/(6) = 3

8) (42 - 24)/6
(18)/6 = 3

9) (9 + 16) - (2 x 4)
25 - 8 = 17

10) 60 - (3 + 2) x 5
60 - 5 x 5
60 - 25 = 35

11) 18 + (9/3)
18 + 3 = 21

12) 5 x (2 + 4 + 3)
5 x (9) = 45

A scientist writes the equation n(h)100e^0.25h to model the growth of a certain bacteria in a petri dish, where N represents the

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer: Second option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

$n(h)=100e^{0.25h}$

where, N represents the number of bacteria after 'h' hours.

So, we have given that there are 450 bacteria present.

N = 450

According to question,

$450=100e^{0.25h}\\\\\frac{450}{100}=e^{0.25h}\\\\4.5=e^{0.25h}\\\\\text{Taking natural log 'ln' on both sides}\\\\\ln (4.5)=0.25h\\\\1.50=0.25h\\\\h=\frac{1.50}{0.25}\\\\h\approx 6\ hours$
