Determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. I'm using a photocopier to reduce an image over and over by \(50 \%,\) so the exponential function \(f(x)=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{x}\) models the new image size, where \(x\) is the number of reductions.
Rewrite the equation in terms of base \(e\). Express the answer in terms of a natural logarithm and then round to three decimal places. $$y=4.5(0.6)^{x}$$
The formula \(S=C(1+r)^{t}\) models inflation, where \(C=\) the value today, \(r=\)the annual inflation rate, and \(S=\)the inflated value t years from now. Use this formula to solve. Round answers to the nearest dollar. If the inflation rate is \(6 \%,\) how much will a house now worth \(\$ 465,000\) be worth in 10 years?
The formula \(S=C(1+r)^{t}\) models inflation, where \(C=\) the value today, \(r=\)the annual inflation rate, and \(S=\)the inflated value t years from now. Use this formula to solve. Round answers to the nearest dollar. If the inflation rate is \(3 \%,\) how much will a house now worth \(\$ 510,000\) be worth in 5 years?
Determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. After 100 years, a population whose growth rate is \(3 \%\) will have three times as many people as a population whose growth rate is \(1 \%\)
