Answer: $A=6000(1.012)^t$

Step-by-step explanation:

General exponential function:

$A=P(1+r)^t$

, where P= current population

r= rate of growth

t= time period

A= population after t years

As per given , we have P=6,000

r= 1.2% = 0.012

Then, the required exponential function: $A=6000(1+0.012)^t$

or $A=6000(1.012)^t$

The radius of the large sphere is double the radius of the small sphere. How many times does the volume of the large sphere than

pshichka [43]

Answer:

8 times larger.

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius of the large sphere is double the radius of the small sphere.

Question asked:

How many times does the volume of the large sphere than the small sphere

Solution:

Let radius of the small sphere =  $x$ 

As the radius of the large sphere is double the radius of the small sphere:

Then, radius of the large sphere = $2x$

To find that how many times is the volume of the large sphere than the small sphere, we will divide the volume of large sphere by volume of small sphere:-

For smaller sphere: $Radius = x$

$Volume \ of \ sphere = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}$

$=\frac{4}{3} \pi x^{3}$

For larger sphere: $Radius = 2x$

$Volume \ of \ sphere = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}$

$=\frac{4}{3} \pi (2x)^{3}$

Now, we will divide volume of the larger by the smaller one:

$=\frac{4}{3} \pi (2x)^{3}\div\frac{4}{3} \times\frac{\pi }{1 } \times x^{3}\\ \\ =\frac{4}{3} \pi\times8x^{3} \times\frac{3}{4\pi }\ \times\frac{1}{x^{3} }$
