<span>idk why they want the dratted "k" . it is so simple w/o it !
in the form y = ab^x, a = 4000, b = 4400/4000 = 1.1, x = t/2
N = 4000*1.1^(13/2) = 7432 <------
-----------------
now you won't be satisfied with simplicity, so
4400 = 4000e^2k
e^2k = 1.1
k = ln 1.1/2 = .0477 to 4 dp
N(13) = 4000e^(13*.0477) = 7436 <------
note that apart from a roundabout way, you get a less accurate ans !</span>
Answer: 3/8x
To find the least common denominator first convert all integers and mixed numbers (mixed fractions) into fractions. Then find the lowest common multiple of the denominators. This number is same as the least common denominator .You can then write each term as an equivalent fraction with the same LCD denominator.
I believe that the answer is 2.
