<h2>Population becomes 550 in 27 days</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The population of spiders in a lab is modeled by the function P(x)=400(1.012)^{x}, where x represents the number of days since population was first counted.

   Consider that after t days, the population of spiders has grown to 550. We need to find such t.

550=400(1.012)^{t}

(1.012)^{x}=\frac{550}{400}=1.375

Applying logarithm on both sides,

xlog_{10}(1.012)=log_{10}(1.375)

x=\frac{log_{10}(1.375)}{log_{10}(1.012)}=26.6967

∴ It takes about 27 days for the population to become 550.

A company offers you a job with an annual salary of $70 000 for the first year and a 5% raise every year after. Approximately ho
mariarad [96]

Answer:

$386794

Step-by-step explanation:

To be able to find how much we get in 5 years, we need to base it off the initial salary value.

So in the first year we get.

$70,000

To get how much we get in the 2nd year we add the extra 5%.

2nd year salary = (1.05)70000

2nd year salary = 73500

Now we continue to do that until the 5th year

3rd year = (1.05)73500

3rd year = 77175

4th year = (1.05) + 77175

4th year = 81033.75

5th year = (1.05) + 81033.75

5th year = 85085.44

Now we add them all up to get the total.

70000 + 73500 + 77175 + 81033.75 + 85085.44 = $386794.19 or $386794
