It would take 26 years.

The equation will be in the form y = a(1+r)ˣ, where a is the initial population, r is the growth rate as a decimal number, and x is the amount of time.  Using our information we have

y = 18450(1+0.027)ˣ = 18450(1.027)ˣ

We want the population to be doubled; 18450*2 = 36900:
36900 = 18450(1.027)ˣ

Divide both sides by 18450:
36900/18450 = 18450(1.027)ˣ/18450
2 = 1.027ˣ

Using logarithms, we have
\log_{1.027}2=x
\\
\\x=26.017

What is 3 ^9? how to solve?
Tanya [424]
3⁹ is the same as doing:

3 * 3 * 3 * 3 * 3 * 3 * 3 * 3 * 3

What I would do it is narrow it down piece by piece. 

3 * 3 * 3 = 27. Do that 3 times, now you are left with:

27 * 27 * 27

27 * 27 or 27² = 729.

That leaves you with:

729 * 27

You can multiply by hand or use a calculator to get your answer of 19683.

To check your answer, plug 3⁹ into a calculator. Your answer should match this.
