To solve this problem, plug 8250 in for b and 15 in for t and then solve for k:

8250=1000e^{15k}

<em>*Divide both sides by 1000*</em>

8.25=e^{15k}

<em>*Take the natural log (ln) of both sides*</em>

2.1102=15k

<em>*Divide both sides by 15*</em>

0.1406=k


0.1406 rounds to 0.141 which is close to a. 0.143.


Hope this helps!!

8+3(5-1) =20 I am very confused on how this equals 20, someone please explain. thanks
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Step-by-step explanation:

first you have to do the subtraction in the parentheses so it's 8+3(4) and then you multiply the 3 by 4 (only the 3 because the 8 isn't next to the multiply) and then you have 12, add 8 and it's 20
