It is predicted that garden gnome value will go up by 2% each year, forming a geometric progression. Jean-Claude has a garden gn

ome currently valued at £80,000. If the rate of inflation is correct:
a) What will Jean-Claude's gnome be worth after 1 year?


b) What is the common ratio of the geometric progression?


c) What will Jean-Claude's gnome be worth after 10 years?


d) It will take k years for the value of Jean-Claude's gnome to exceed £120,000. Find k.

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 1.02^k

1.5 = 1.02^k

ln1.5 = k ln 1.02

k = ln 1.5 / ln 1.02

= .4054 / .0198

= 20.47 years .

PLEASE HELP MEEE ASAP
lys-0071 [83]

Step-by-step explanation:

first of all, g(x) has only negative functional result values (y) except for 0.

and a square is always positive.

so, the only possible right answers are the ones that include a minus ("-") sign.

the graph shows us that g(x) goes through the points (1, -3) and (-1, -3).

so, which equation turns an x = 1 into an y = -3 ?

therefore, the right answer must be D.

g(x) = -3x²

it works for both points :

-3 = -3×1² = -3 correct

-3 = -3×(-1)² = -3×1 = -3 correct

jeyben [28]

Find the volume of 1 car by multiplying the length by the width by the height:

Volume of 1 car = 20 x 10 x 10 = 2000 cubic feet.


Now multiply the volume of 1 car by the total number of cars:

2000 x 100 = 200,000 cubic feet total.
