Just add 4 on both sides then divide both sides by 4 and then you’ll get your answer. I hope that helps!
Jo divided the rectangle into 4 parts if each part is 1/4 of the whole rectangle. 4 is the denominator which is the number of parts that has been divided.
That answer your looking for is 80
It is the first answer, loss of $701.80
Pretty difficult problem, but that’s why I’m here.
First we need to identify what we’re looking for, which is t. So now plug 450k into equation and solve for t.
450000 = 250000e^0.013t
Now to solve this, we need to remember this rule: if you take natural log of e you can remove x from exponent. And natural log of e is 1.
Basically ln(e^x) = xln(e) = 1*x
So knowing this first we need to isolate e
450000/250000 = e^0.013t
1.8 = e^0.013t
Now take natural log of both
Ln(1.8) = ln(e^0.013t)
Ln(1.8) = 0.013t*ln(e)
Ln(1.8) = 0.013t * 1
Now solve for t
Ln(1.8)/0.013 = t
T= 45.21435 years
Now just to check our work plug that into original equation which we get:
449999.94 which is basically 500k (just with an error caused by lack of decimals)
So our final solution will be in the 45th year after about 2 and a half months it will reach 450k people.
