1.The population of an island increases by 10% each year.After how many years will the original population be doubled.

2.A bank pays interest of 11% on 6000 in a deposit account..After how many years will the money have trebled

3.A tree grows in height by 21% per year. It is 2m tall after one year. After how many more years will the tree be over 20m tall?

thx in advanced.

Let the initial population be 100 and the number of years after which the population doubles let it be n.

100 * 1.10n = 200

Solving for n give : 1.10n = 2

Hence, log 2 / log 1.1  = 7.27 years (3 s.f.)

Therefore answer is 8 years. Since after 7.27 years there will only be 199.9 people.

3. The answer at the end n = 12.1 , and so 1.21^12.1 x 2= 20m exactly

 why is the asnwer in the book 13?



ok but for the next one , the answer in my book says 12 years why?

6000 x 1.11^n = 18000
 1.11^n= 3

thergfore log 3/ log 1.11

=10.5

and anywy the anwer in the book says 12 and 6000 x 1.11^12 =  20000 +

The area under a graph is equal to the distance covered.

The car travels faster than the truck from 15 s to 55 s

Hence, I 've split the relevant area into two trapeziums. One red and one blue.

Using the area of a trapezium formula for the red one :

0.5* (12+36)*30 = 720

Using the same formula for the blue one :

0.5 * (36+12)*10 = 240

Hence, 240 + 720 = 960 m

The area of a trapezium is given by this formula :

0.5 (sum of the length of parallel side) * perpendicular distance between the two parallel sides

You made a little mistake there dude. It actually is similar to a general progression ;)

The required solution :
6000 x 1.11(n-1) = 3(6000)

Simplify it and you'll be getting n = 11.5 which can be taken as 12. But the best answer is 11.5

Same principle is applied for question 3 and 1.
3) 2 x 1.21(n-1) = 20

You just need to simplify and you'll get n = 13

1) 100 X 1.1(n-1) = 2(100) -----> n = 8.27 which can be taken as 8 ;)

Hope it helps :)

i never heard the thing about the n-1 but it seems to get the right answers ! thx much !!


i have another question

A wallet contains $40 and has 3 times as many $1 notes as $5 notes . Find the no. of each kind.

Anytime :)

Given the ratio of $3:$5 = 3:1(5) ---->$40 represents (3 + 1(5))=8 shares
Hence 1 share represents 40/8 = $5

Number of $1 = 3(5) = 15
Number of $5 = 5


Hope it helps :)

Anytime :)

Given the ratio of $3:$5 = 3:1 ---->$40 represents (3 + 1)=4 shares
Hence 1 share represents 40/4 = $10

Number of $1 = 10
Number of $5 = 3(10) = 30


Hope it helps :)
