Study Notes
Bank Account Growth
- Starting balance of $100 with a 4% annual interest rate over 12 years results in a balance of $160.10.
Caffeine Decay
- Consuming 120 mg of caffeine decreases by 13% each hour; after 4 hours, approximately 68.74 mg remains in the system.
Tennis Tournament Elimination
- A tournament begins with 128 participants; after 5 rounds of halving, only 4 players remain.
Cell Phone Subscribers
- In 1985, there were 285 cell phone subscribers, growing at 75% annually; by 1994, subscribers increased to 43,872.
Lung Air Replacement
- Initial lung capacity of 500 mL, with a 12% air replacement each breath leads to approximately 2.37e-11 mL remaining after 240 breaths.
Algebraic Simplification
- Simplifying ( \frac{24x^6y^{-3}}{12x^{-8}y^7} ) results in ( 2x^{14}y^{4} ).
- Simplifying ( -(9xy)^0 ) results in -1.
- Simplifying ( 5x^2y(2x^4y^{-3}) ) results in ( \frac{10x^6}{y^2} ).
Continuous Compound Interest
- Time to double principal with a 7% annual rate compounded continuously is part of a hypothetical question without a specific answer provided.
Investment Growth
- Investing $2000 at a 5.5% annual interest rate compounded continuously:
- After 10 years, exact future value not calculated.
- Duration needed to grow to $5000 is explored without a specific answer.
Artwork Value Increase
- A painting valued at $1400 increasing by 9% annually will be worth approximately $12,072.31 in 25 years.
Sculpture Valuation
- A sculpture valued at $1200 in 2000, increasing at 8% per year, will reach a value of approximately $1,904.25 in 2006.
Population Decay
- A town with a population of 1300 in 2000 decreasing at a rate of 1% annually will have about 1200 residents by 2008.
Fish Population Decline
- An original fish population of 48,000 decreasing at 3% per year results in an estimated population of 38,783 after 7 years.
