Answer: year 2194
Explanation:
1) Model the jump of the women:
i) initial jump = 70.0 in
ii) increase rate = 0.48% per year
iii) equation: h = 70.0(1 +0.0048)ⁿ
2) Model the jump of the men:
i) initial jump 86.5 inches.
ii) increase rate, 0.4%.
iii) equation: h = 86.5 (1 + 0.004)ⁿ
3) Equal the two equations (h = h) to find when the jumps will be equal:
i) 70.0(1 +0.0048)ⁿ = 86.5 (1 + 0.004)ⁿ
ii) 70.0(1.0048)ⁿ = 86.5 (1.004)ⁿ
ii) [1.0048ⁿ / 1.004ⁿ] = 86.5/70.0
iii) [1.0048/ 1.0040]ⁿ = 86.5/70.0
iv) n log (1.0048 / 1.0040) = log ( 86.5/70)
v) n = log (86.5/70) / log (1.0048/1.0040) ≈ 266
3) year = 1928 + 266 = 2194
That is in the year 2194
