Answer:

The rabbit population will reach 500 after 10 months.

Explanation:

According to the given data:

The initial number of rabbit's equals 2.

Number of rabbit's after 2 months =2x3= 6

Number of rabbit's after 4 months = 6x3=18

Number of rabbit's after 6 months = 18x3=54

Number of rabbit's after 8 months = 54x3=162

Thus we can see that the number of rabbit's form a Geometric series with common ratio =3 and initial term = 2

Now the general term of a geometric series with first term 'a' and common ratio 'r' is given by

T_{n+1}=ar^{n}

Thus we need to find when the term becomes 500 thus using the given data we have  

500=2\cdot 3^{n}\\\\3^{n}=250\\\\(n)log_3(3)=log_3(250)\\\\(n)=5.025\\\\

Thus the fifth term (excluding the start term) will have a rabbit count of 500 now since each term has a time difference of 2 months thus sixth term will occur after 5\times 2=10months

The mass of a single gold atom is 3.27X10^-22 grams. How many gold Adams with there be in 57.8 mg of gold.
vichka [17]

Answer:

18 * 10^19 atoms

Explanation:

We must first convert 57.8 mg to grams.

If 1000 mg = 1g

  57.8 mg = 57.8/1000 = 57.8 * 10^-3 g

Now;

If 1 gold atom has a mass of 3.27X10^-22 grams

x gold atoms have a mass of 57.8 * 10^-3 g

x = 57.8 * 10^-3 g/3.27X10^-22 g

x = 18 * 10^19 atoms
