You need to know 20% of $5000. "Of" means "times".
$5000 x 0.20 (which is 20% written as a decimal)
=$1000 profit she wants to make
$5000 (original price) + $1000 (profit) = $6000 (sale price)
The answer is : a^2=1 x 2^n-1
To check if it’s correct
a^2= 1 x 2^2-1
a^2 = 1x 2
a^2 = 2
Hope this helps!
Pretty difficult problem, but that’s why I’m here.
First we need to identify what we’re looking for, which is t. So now plug 450k into equation and solve for t.
450000 = 250000e^0.013t
Now to solve this, we need to remember this rule: if you take natural log of e you can remove x from exponent. And natural log of e is 1.
Basically ln(e^x) = xln(e) = 1*x
So knowing this first we need to isolate e
450000/250000 = e^0.013t
1.8 = e^0.013t
Now take natural log of both
Ln(1.8) = ln(e^0.013t)
Ln(1.8) = 0.013t*ln(e)
Ln(1.8) = 0.013t * 1
Now solve for t
Ln(1.8)/0.013 = t
T= 45.21435 years
Now just to check our work plug that into original equation which we get:
449999.94 which is basically 500k (just with an error caused by lack of decimals)
So our final solution will be in the 45th year after about 2 and a half months it will reach 450k people.
To determine the ratio, we need to know the formula of the area of an hexagon in terms of the length of its sides. We cannot directly conclude that the ratio would be 3, the same as that of the ratio of the lengths of the side, since it may be that the relationship of the area and length is not equal. The area of a hexagon is calculated by the expression:
A = (3√3/2) a^2
So, we let a1 be the length of the original hexagon and a2 be the length of the new hexagon.
A2/A1 = (3√3/2) a2^2 / (3√3/2) a1^2
A2/A1 = (a2 / a1)^2 = 3^2 = 9
Therefore, the ratio of the areas of the new and old hexagon would be 9.
