According to my calculations, x should equal 2.2
This is a 3 to 2 ratio. So in this case you need 180g
F=ir^t
139=134r^10
139/134=r^10
r=(139/134)^(1/10) then:
f=134(139/134)^(t/10) so in 2014, t=24 so
f=134(139/134)^(2.4)
f≈146 million (to nearest million)
Some will say that you have to use the exponential function, but it really gives you the same answer...even for continuous compounding :)...
A=Pe^(kt)
139=134e^(10k)
139/134=e^(10k)
ln(139/134)=10k
k=ln(139/134)/10 so
A=134e^(t*ln(139/134)/10) when t=24
A=134e^(2.4*ln(139/134))
A≈146 million (to nearest million)
The only real reason or advantage to using A=Pe^(kt) is when you start getting into differential equations...
Simply divide your wire by 12 and cut off the excess (as it cannot make a full 12-inch section).
27

÷12=2

So you have two 12-inch sections and an additional 3.4-inch section.
1 yd = 36 in; 20 ft 8 in = 248 in;
We will use a proportion:
36 : 24 = x : 248
24 x = 36 * 248
24 x = 8,928
x = 8,928 : 24 = 372
Answer: C ) 372 in
