Answer:

8.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The growth factor per year is 1.012, so in 500 years is ...

1.012^500

The number of doublings is the solution to ...

2^n = 1.012^500

Taking logarithms, we have ...

n·log(2) = 500·log(1.012)

n = 500·log(1.012)/log(2) ≈ 8.6046

About 8.6 doublings will take place in 500 years.

What is the measure of each angle?

Elza [17]

Answer:

The measure of the angles are 46, 89, and 41 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we need to add all 3 angles together and set equal to 180. Then we can find x.

x + 2x - 3 + x - 5 = 180

4x - 8 = 180

4x = 188

x = 46

Now we can find the value of each angle using the value of x.

Angle 1:

x = 46

Angle 2:

2x - 3

2(46) - 3

92 - 3

Angle 3:

x - 5

46 - 5
