An oak tree is 60cm tall. It grows at a rate of 8% per year. A conifer is 50cm tall. It grows at a rate of 15% per year. How man
y years does it take before the conifer is taller than the oak?
Thanks in advance :)

I mite be incerect but i think it would be 2.7
Height=height at first(1+rate)^n
n=years
The height of this oak will be:
Data:
height at first=60 cm
rate=8%=8/100=0.08
height=60(1+0.08)^n=60(1.08)^n
The height of this conifer will be:
Data:
height at first=50 cm
rate=15%=15/100=0.15
height=50(1+0.15)^n=50(1.15)^n
The heights of both trees will be the same at n years, therefore:
60(1.08)^n=50(1.15)^n
Now, we can solve this logarithmic equation.
Ln[60(1.08)^n]=Ln[50(1.15)^n]
Ln 60+n*Ln 1.08=Ln 50+n*Ln 1.15
n*ln 1.08-n*Ln 1.15=Ln 50-Ln 60
n(ln 1.08-ln 1.15)=Ln 50-Ln 60
n=(Ln 50 - Ln 60) / (Ln1.08 - Ln 1.15)
n=2.90316784...≈2.9
Answer: 2.9 years.

Answer:
The answer is 5/36
Step-by-step explanation:
first, you are going to convert both of the fractions to have the same dinominator by multiplying by any of their factors.
32/36 - 27/36 = 536
Then you subtract the numerators and that's it

Step-by-step explanation:
option a
x^5 -3√x^2 -18√x
A = P(1+r/n)<span>(nt)
A = 22000(1+0.07/1)^(1*3)
A = 26,950.95
</span>26,950.95 - 22000 = 4950.95
