Answer:
2.5 years
Step-by-step explanation:
I = 200 T=200/4000 0.2 = 2.5 years
P= 4000
R = 2% 0.2
T = ?
We have,
x+y:x-y=3:2
To prove that, x+ y : x - y = 3:2.
x+y=3
And,
x+y = 2
Adding (1) and (2), we get
x+y+x-y=3+2
⇒2x=5
⇒ x =
Put x = in (1), we get
+y=3
⇒ y=3-=
x+y:x-y=
=3:2
So, x+y:x-y=3:2.
So exponenetial growth or decay
it goes like this
f(t)=P(1+r)^t
r=rate of decay or grouth
if r>0 then it is grouth by r
if r<0 then it is decay
i
P=initial amount
so
given
f(x)=5500(1.65)^t
f(x)=5500(1+0.65)^t
0.65>0 so it is growing by 65%
When in doubt, graph it.
The 3rd and 4th choices are appropriate.

This is what is known as a "logistic function." It is used to model population growth when there is a resource limit. It starts out exponential, but then slows as it reaches the "carrying capacity" of the environment. The lower asymptote is zero; the upper one is the carrying capacity of the resource--here 15/1 = 15.
