A growing farming conglomerate increases its water usage at a rate of 5% every year. If it used 48,000 megaliters of water this year, then how much water will it use 18 years from now?

Future requirement of water = 115,517 mega-liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Current requirement of water (C) = 48,000 mega-liters

Increasing rate per year (g) = 5% = 0.05

Number of year (n) = 18 years

Find:

Future requirement of water = ?

Computation:

Future requirement of water = 115,517 (Approx) mega-liters

step-by-step explanation:

given expression is .

now we need to simplify the given expression .

we know that square root is equivalent to the power 1/2. so that means we can take half of the exponents to get the square root of given expression.

expanding that will give a very very large number so let's keep answer in exponent form.
