After 1 year, the initial investment increases by 7%, i.e. multiplied by 1.07. So after 1 year the investment has a value of $800 × 1.07 = $856.
After another year, that amount increases again by 7% to $856 × 1.07 = $915.92.
And so on. After t years, the investment would have a value of .
We want the find the number of years n such that
Solve for n :
Answer:
Exponential functions!
Step-by-step explanation:
I think what you are dealing with is an exponential function!
So, to solve this, we need to first understand the main form of an exponential function:
Where a is the number we start off with, and b is the constant thing(forgot what it was called).
Now, 150 is our starting number, so it is a, and b is our constant at which the initial term is multiplied, which is 3!
Also, defining variables:
Let f(x)= # of Bees
Let x= # of years
Thus, here is our equation:
So, that's it!
