1) In Macroeconomics, The core inflation rate does not include food and energy since these categories are way more volatile, due to oil and season matters. And statistically this measure looks for more robust items, to compose the core inflation in a more accurate way. The Consumer Prices Index (CPI) is the metric used for the cost of living.

Another Index, used by the Fed is the PCE, for the goods and services consumed by the US residents.

So, the Core inflation is based on CPI and PCE, <em>Personal Consumption Expenditure</em> therefore the inflation rate for the past year was higher than 4%, for it is not solely based on CPI index.

A scientist counts 25 bacteria present in a culture and finds that the number of bacteria triples each hour. The function y = 25

Anvisha [2.4K]

$y = 25\cdot~3^x\\ \\ 1170 = 25\cdot~3^x\\ \\ \frac{1170}{25} = 3^x\\ \\ \frac{243}{5} = 3^x\\ \\ log\ \frac{243}{5} = log~3^x\\ \\ log~243-log~5=x~log~3\\ \\ 
 log~3^5-log~5=x~log~3\\ \\ 5~log~3-log~5 = x~log~3\\ \\ 5(0,48)-0,70= 0,48x\\ \\ 2,4-0,7 = 0,48x\\ \\ 1,7=0,48x\\ \\ x=\frac{1,7}{0,48}\\ \\ \large{\boxed{x=3,54\ h}}$
