After clarification we see the respective diameters are

A = 2.3 \times 10^{-a}

B = 2.3 \times 10^{-b}

We're asked about the ratio

A:B =  2.3 \times 10^{-a} :  2.3 \times 10^{-b} = 10^{-a} : 10^{-b} = 10^b : 10^a = 10^{b-a} : 1

Now we can go through the choices.

A. If a = 4 and b = 6, then cell a is 100 times greater than cell b.

A:B=10^{6-4}:1 = 100:1

It would be more proper to say the diameter of cell A is 100 times the diameter of cell B, but yes, this is TRUE.

B. If a = 4 and b = 6, then cell b is 100 times greater than cell a.

FALSE. 10 to the minus 4 is 100 times bigger than 10 to the minus 6, so a is bigger.

C. If a = 4 and b = 6, then cell a is 2 times greater than cell b.

FALSE. We already calculated its 100 times bigger.

D. If a = 4 and b = 6, then cell b is 2 times greater than cell a.

FALSE.

Answer:

A. If a = 4 and b = 6, then cell a is 100 times greater than cell b.

Step-by-step explanation:

2.3/2.3= 1

10(-4)/10(-6)=10(2)

your answer is 100, cell a is 100 times greater than cell b.

A man invests $2000 in an account that pays 6.5% interest per year, compounded quarterly.
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is a. $2275.28; b. 17.04 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Principal to be invested is $2000

Interest rate (r) per year is 6.5 quarterly.

Interest is calculated compoundly.

a. Time (t) for the investment is given to be 2 years.

Amount after two years is = Principal × ( 1+ \frac{r}{100n}) ^ {nt} where the value of n is 4.

⇒ A = 2000  × ( 1+ \frac{6.5}{400}) ^ {8}

⇒ A = $2275.28.

b. Now the value of A is given to be triple the principal = $ (3 × 2000).

Therefore we need to find the value of t.

⇒ 3 × 2000 =  2000  × ( 1+ \frac{6.5}{400}) ^ {4t}

⇒ ㏑ 3 = 4t × ㏑ ( 1.01625)

⇒ t = 17.04

Therefore it would take 17.04 years for the principal to triple.
