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.
Answer:
1.5
Step-by-step explanation:

200, because 8% is 8 parts of 100%. Then 1 part of that 100% is 16/8=2. Then 100% is the number i.e; 200
Answer:
f(x) = 1/2x
Step-by-step explanation:
When x = -4 the output is -2
We are dividing by 2
When x = -2 the output is -1
f(x) = 1/2 x
Check when x = 2
f(2) = 1/2 (2) =1
Option B:
is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The exponential equation is 
If
, then 
Thus, the equation becomes

Applying log rule,
and thus the equation becomes

Since, we know that,
, using this we get,

Hence, the logarithmic equation which is equivalent to the exponential equation
is 
Thus, Option B is the correct answer.
