Answer:
"To the nearest year, it would be about 9 years"
Step-by-step explanation:
11c)
This is compound growth problem. It goes by the formula:
Where
F is the future amount
P is the present (initial) amount
r is the rate of growth, in decimal
t is the time in years
Given,
P = 20,000
r = 8% = 8/100 = 0.08
F = double of initial amount = 2 * 20,000 = 40,000
We need to find t:
To solve exponentials, we can take Natural Log (Ln) of both sides:
Using the rule shown below we can simplify and solve:
We can write:
To the nearest year, that would be about 9 years
There is a 3% chance of each light bulb being defective, and we only want 5 of them to be defective. The chance is then:
Or this really small number: 1.13474853e-8

The general formula for exponential growth and decays is:
if k>0 then then it is an exponential growth function. If k<0 then the function represents an exponential decay.
Now we need to classify each of the functions:
1.
The function
can be wrtten as:
comparing with the general formula we notice that k=2, therefore this is an exponential growth.
2.
The function
can be written as:
comparing with the general formula we notice that k=-4, therefore this is an exponential decay.
3.
The function
comparing with the general formula we notice that k=-1, therefore this is an exponential decay.
