The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:
46.6 days
Explanation:
The general form for exponential growth is
, where A is the total amount, p is the initial amount, r is the percent of growth, and t is the amount of time (in this case, days).
We do not know the initial amount, the total amount, or the amount of time. We do know that r, the percent of growth, is 1.5%; 1.5% = 1.5/100 = 0.015:
We also know we want the total amount, A, to be twice that of the initial amount, p:
Divide both sides by p:
Using logarithms to solve this,
<h3>Answer: 33%</h3>
===========================================================
Explanation:
1/3 converts to the decimal form 0.333333... where the 3's go on forever
5/3 is a similar story but 5/3 = 1.666666.... where the '6's go on forever
The notation indicates that the 6's go on forever.
So,
The horizontal bar tells us which digits repeat. As another example,
The three dots just mean "keep this pattern going forever".
----------
Everything mentioned so far has the decimal portions go on forever repeating some pattern over and over.
The only one that doesn't do this is 33% which converts to the decimal form 0.33
The value 0.33 is considered a terminating decimal since "terminate" means "stop". So this is the value that doesn't fit in with the other three items mentioned.
