Answer:

14  3/4 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume compound inflation.  The appropriate formula for that is:

A = P(1 + r)^t.

If we represent current prices by P, then double that would be 2P:

2P = P(1 + 0.048)^t    Find t, the time required for prices to double.

Then:

2   =  1.048^t

Taking the natural log of both sides, we get:

ln 2 = t·ln 1.048, so that:

t = (ln 2) / (ln 1.048)   =   14.78

At 4.8 inflation, with annual compounding, prices will double in approx. 14 3/4 years.

Calculate a vector c in the same direction of the vector a and that has the same length as the vector b
Viktor [21]

For any scalar t>0, t\vec a is a vector pointing in the same direction as a.

To force this vector to have the same length as another vector \vec b, first normalize t\vec a by dividing it by its norm,

\dfrac{t\vec a}{\|t\vec a\|}=\dfrac{t\vec a}{t\|\vec a\|}=\dfrac{\vec a}{\|\vec a\|}

then multiply this vector by the norm of \vec b, so that

\vec c=\dfrac{\|\vec b\|}{\|\vec a\|}\vec a

To confirm that \vec c has the same length as \vec b:

\|\vec c\|=\left\|\dfrac{\|\vec b\|}{\|\vec a\|}\vec a\right\|=\dfrac{\|\vec b\|}{\|\vec a\|}\|\vec a\|=\|\vec b\|
