Which expression is equivalent to (7^3)^−2?
Verdich [7]
Use the exponent property regarding a power to power. When you have a power to power, you multiply both powers. In this case, you will get 7^-6. That is equivalent to the first option. I hope this helped, though it is a bit late xD.

You purchased a rare painting for $150 that is increasing in value by 3% annually. How many years will it take until it is doubl
Ahat [919]

Answer:

23 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the initial price of painting is $150 and its values increasing by 3% annually.

We need to find how many years will it take until it is doubled in value.

The value of painting after t years is given by

y=150(1+0.03)^t

y=150(1.03)^t

The value of painting after double is 300. Substitute y=300.

300=150(1.03)^t

Divide both sides by 150.

2=(1.03)^t

Taking log both sides.

\log 2=\log (1.03)^t

\log 2=t\log (1.03)

t=\dfrac{\log 2}{\log (1.03)}

t=23.44977

t\approx 23

Therefore, the required number of years is 23.
