A stock loses half its value each week. If the stock started at $125, what is it worth after 4 weeks?

Mathematics

Answer: 7.81

The formula is

y = 125* (1/2)^4

y = 125 / 16

y = 7.81

So at the end of the 4th week, the stock is worth only 7.81 dollars.

If that is not the motive and the first week doesn't count then the formula changes to...

y = 125 * (1/2)^(n-1)

y = 125 * (1/2)^3

y = 15.625 could be the other answer if you looked at it in that perspective

However, I would go with 7.81 as the answer.

Hope I helped :)

Suppose a population is growing by 8% each year. How many years will it take the population to double?
Doss [256]

ANSWER

\text{9 years}

EXPLANATION

We want to find the number of years that it will take the population to double.

To do this, we have to apply the exponential growth function:

y=a(1+r)^t

where y = final value

a = initial value

r = rate of growth

t = time (in years)

For the population to double, it means that the final value must be 2 times the initial value:

y=2a

Substitute the given values into the function above:

\begin{gathered} 2a=a(1+\frac{8}{100})^t \\ \frac{2a}{a}=(1+0.08)^t=1.08^t \\ 2=1.08^t \end{gathered}

To solve further, convert the function from an exponential function to a logarithmic function as follows:

\log _{1.08}2=t

Solve for t:

\begin{gathered} \frac{\log _{10}2}{\log _{10}1.08}=t \\ \Rightarrow t=9\text{ years} \end{gathered}

It will take 9 years for the population to double.
