Answer: The correct answer is y = 3(1.12)^x.

One way to find this answer is to use the "Rule of 72". It states that if you divide 72 by the rate it will give you the approximate number of years an investment will take to double.

If you divide 72 by 12 you get 6, meaning it will take about 6 years. In the answer we select, the rate of increase is 1.12 or adding 12%.

The equation y = 3(1.12)^x will double after 6 years. 

In order to find this, we need to test all of the numbers in the parenthesis to the 6th power and see which comes closest to 2. We know that after 0 years, each equation will simply have the value of the number outside of the parenthesis, so we need the number inside to be 2 in order to get it to double. The following are each number in the parenthesis raised to the 6th power. 

1.50^6 = 11.39
1.17^6 = 2.57
1.06^6 = 1.42
1.12^6 = 1.97

Since the one with 1.12^6 is closest to 2, it is the one that nearly doubles after six years.

In the book,the distance between two planets is given as 4.07×10^¹² kilometres. The speed of light is 1.1×10^⁹ kilometres per ho
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

3700hours

154days

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed can be defined as the distance cover per time, it can be expressed as

Speed= distance/ time........eqn(1)

Given:

distance between two planets= 4.07×10^¹²

speed of light = 1.1×10^⁹ kilometres per hour

Time= ??

Then substitute the values into equation (1) we have

Speed= distance/ time

1.1×10^⁹ kilometres per hour= 4.07×10^¹²kilometre/ time

Cross multiply, we have

Time= (4.07×10^¹²kilometre) /(1.1×10^⁹ kilometres per hour)

Time= 3700hours.

To convert to day, we know that

60 minute= 1hour

24hour=1day

Time= (3700hour×1day)/24hour

Time= 154days approximately.

Hence, the time taken for light to travel from one of these planets to the other is 154days or 3700hours
