I’m having trouble with my homework assignments

Collin: about $401 thousand

Cameron: about $689 thousand

Step-by-step explanation:

A situation in which doubling time is constant is a situation that can be modeled by an exponential function. Here, you're given an exponential function, though you're not told what the variables mean. That function is ...

In this context, P0 is the initial salary, t is years, and d is the doubling time in years. The function gives P(t), the salary after t years. In this problem, the value of t we're concerned with is the difference between age 22 and age 65, that is, 43 years.

In Collin's case, we have ...

P0 = 55,000, t = 43, d = 15

so his salary at retirement is ...

P(43) = $55,000(2^(43/15)) ≈ $401,157.89

In Cameron's case, we have ...

P0 = 35,000, t = 43, d = 10

so his salary at retirement is ...

P(43) = $35,000(2^(43/10)) ≈ $689,440.87

Sometimes we like to see these equations in a form with "e" as the base of the exponential. That form is ...

If we compare this equation to the one above, we find the growth factors to be ...

2^(t/d) = e^(kt)

Factoring out the exponent of t, we find ...

(2^(1/d))^t = (e^k)^t

That is, ...

2^(1/d) = e^k . . . . . match the bases of the exponential terms

(1/d)ln(2) = k . . . . . take the natural log of both sides

So, in Collin's case, the equation for his salary growth is

k = ln(2)/15 ≈ 0.046210

P(t) = 55,000e^(0.046210t)

and in Cameron's case, ...

k = ln(2)/10 ≈ 0.069315

P(t) = 35,000e^(0.069315t)

#15. square

step-by-step explanation:

because quadrilatural (idk how to spell it) means somthing that is not 3d or like, equal sides (or somthing like that   you know what i meanz)

hope this halps!

bai!
