Answer:
2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
From the diagram, figure B was enlarged to obtain figure A.
The two figures are therefore similar.
The corresponding sides are in the same proportion. That constant value of the proportion is called scale factor.
It is given by:
Figure B is the image of A
Therefore the scale factor is 2.5
Since its to the tenth power and the exponent is negative all you have to do is move the decimal point two positions back and your new answer is 0.382
9514 1404 393
Answer:
a) P(t) = 6.29e^(0.0241t)
b) P(6) ≈ 7.3 million
c) 10 years
d) 28.8 years
Step-by-step explanation:
a) You have written the equation.
P(t) = 6.29·e^(0.0241·t)
__
b) 2018 is 6 years after 2012.
P(6) = 6.29·e^(0.0241·6) ≈ 7.2686 ≈ 7.3 . . . million
__
c) We want t for ...
8 = 6.29·e^(0.0241t)
ln(8/6.29) = 0.0241t
t = ln(8/6.29)/0.0241 ≈ 9.978 ≈ 10.0 . . . years
__
d) Along the same lines as the calculation in part (c), doubling time is ...
t = ln(2)/0.0241 ≈ 28.7613 ≈ 28.8 . . . years
