John played a note on his tuba that vibrated the air 120 times per second if he played the note for 4 seconds how many times did the air vibrate ?
Okay, from the given word problem we can understand that :-
Time a note takes to vibrate in the air per second = 120 times
We are asked to find how many times the air will vibrate if John played a note on his tuba for 4 seconds. For this, we need to multiply the time taken by the note to vibrate in the air per second into 4. That is, we need to calculate ⇨ 120 × 4

Multiply 120 by 4 to get 480.

So, the answer is ⇨ The air will vibrate about<u> </u><u>4</u><u>8</u><u>0</u><u> </u><u>times</u> if John played a note on his tuba for 4 seconds.
The equation is: 20,000 * e^(0.15 t) = 28,000 e^( 0.15 t ) = 28,000 : 20,000 e^( 0.15 t ) = 1.4 0.15 t = ln 1.4 0.15 t = 0.3365 t = 0.3365 : 0.15 t = 2.24 ≈ 2 Answer: A ) 2 years.
