If we are to derive the equation that models the growth of the amoeba, we make use of the general form:
p = po k^t
where po is the initial population
k is the multiplicative rate of change

From the problem
3po = po k^(20)
k = 1.06

The equation is
p = 800 (1.06)^t

How much money would need to be deposited into an account earning 5.25% interest compounded annually in order for the accumulate
scoundrel [369]
Answer provided by our tutors

P = the principal


t = 25 years the time in years


r = 0.0525 or 5.25% annual rate


m = 1 compounding periods per year


i = 0.0525 or 5.25% interest rate per period


n = t*m = 25 total number of compounding periods


A = $75,000 future value


A = P(1 + i)^n


P(1 + i)^n = A


P(1 + 0.0525)^25 = 75000


by solving we find:


P = $20,869.34

5. Last year, Mr. Petersen's rectangular garden had a width of 5 meters and an area of 20 square meters.
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

Last Year Length = 4 meters

This Year Length = 12 meters

This Year Width = 10 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

We know, area of the rectangle is given by the formula:

Area = Length * Width

Given width = 5

Area = 20

We solve for Length:

Area = Length * Width

20 = Length * 5

Length = 20/5 = 4

Last Year Length = 4 meters

Now, this year, the length would be 3 times as long, so new length would be:

This Year Length = 4 * 3 = 12 meters

This year, the width would be two times previous year, so width would be:

This Year Width = 5 * 2 = 10 meters
