It is predicted that garden gnome value will go up by 2% each year, forming a geometric progression. Jean-Claude has a garden gn
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a ) The worth of Jean-Claude's gnome after 1 year
= 80000 x 1.02
= £81600
b ) common ratio of geometric progression
= 81600 / 80000
= 1.02
c ) worth after 10 years
= 80000 x 1.02¹⁰
= 80000 x 1.21899
= £97519.55
d )
120000 = 80000 x
1.5 =
ln1.5 = k ln 1.02
k = ln 1.5 / ln 1.02
= .4054 / .0198
= 20.47 years .

Hi!
I have attached 2 images that should help you understand :)
First, look at the edits I made to the image you posted. I separated the shape into smaller shapes so that we can find the area of each individual one.
Let's start with the rectangle.
To find the area of a rectangle, multiply the width times the height.
10 · 4 = 40
Rectangle = 40cm
Next up, the red triangles.
I have included another image showing the triangles combined into rectangles. So we can find the area of the triangles just like we would rectangles!
(let me know if you don't understand how I found the width + height of the triangles)
5 · 10 = 50
Red triangles = 50cm
And finally, the green triangles.
8 · 7 = 56
Green triangles = 56cm
Add it all together and you get...
40 + 50 + 56 = 146
The answer to the question is 146cm.
Next time you are having trouble with something like this, picture the triangles as rectangles! :)

We have .
To find inverse function we substitute x with
and vice-versa to get
Now solve for . Note that I will use
instead.
So we find that .
Hope this helps.
