Answer:

  12.3 months

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the number of months (m) such that ...

   1 - 17% = (1 -1.5%)^m

Taking logarithms:

  log(0.83) = m·log(0.985)

  m = log(0.83)/log(0.985) ≈ 12.3 . . . . months

You get tired of the sand and head up to the amusement park. You can purchase 20 ride tickets for $14 or you can purchase 30 rid
Helga [31]

Answer:

The one with the better deal would be 30 ride tickets for $22.50 this is because you pay less money for more rides.

Step-by-step explanation:

First you divide 20 by 14. Doing this will give you the cost of a ride per ticket.

20/14 = 1.42

Then you do the same thing to 30 and 22.50.

30/22.50 = 1.30

Last you compare which deal has less money per ride.

1.42 > 1.30

A population of bacteria is initially 2,000. After three hours the population is 1,000.
lina2011 [118]

The population starts at 2000, so a=2000.

We also know that the population in 3 hours is 1000, so we can setup the equation:

     2000 b^3 = 1000

This gets us:

    b^3 = 1/2

And taking the cube root of both sides gives us:

    b ≈ 0.7937005259841

Rounding that to 4 places, we have:

    f(t) = 2000 (0.7937)^t
