Answer:

4.67 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The future population is calculated by A=P(1+i)^{n} where A is projected population, P is present population, i is interest rate in decimal and n is duration in years.

84000=42000(1+0.16)^{n}\\n=\frac {log 2}{log 1.16}=4.6701735389888214612132532241097152772246\approx 4.67 years

ycow [4]
Let x be the length of the garden
and y be the width of the garden.

since you only enclose 3 sides of the garden by a 40 ft fence. so the equation for this is:

2x + y = 40

and the area of the garden is 100 sq ft, so in equation
xy = 100
from equation 1, 2x + y = 40
y = 40 - 2x
substitute to equation 2

xy = 100
x ( 40 - 2x) = 100
40x - 2x^2 = 100
2x^2 - 40x + 100 = 0

x = 2.9 ft
y = 34.5 ft
