  1. on 62 I have
    25(1/5)^3
    so for answer a i get .2cm

    then for b i have set up 16=25(1/5)t
    which gives 16/25 = (1/5)t
    i dont know if this is right but if it is then I dont know what to do from here

  2. having problems with word problems on page 503 #96 I have it worked to 1.5=ln(A/25000) what is next.
    #100 I can't fig the second part of the problem

  3. Okay, so sorry I didn't put the post up this week...
    On problem #96, you are on the right track.
    Now use the quotient property to make (lnA/25000) = ln A - ln 25000.
    Then you can figure out what the ln 25000 is and add it to both sides of the equation.
    Take e^x on both sides to eliminate the ln and you find out what A is!!!
    The answer of course is NO. You will need to have more than 25,000 to start.

    Hope this helps

  4. On #100, just plug in 2 for T(Vc) and x for (Vc).
    Then you will have the following:
    2 = 5 ln (25,000/x)
    Divide both sides by 5 and do the quotient property to get the following:
    .4 = ln 25,000 - ln x
    Move ln x to the left and .4 to the right:
    ln x = ln 25,000 - .4!
    Solve from there and round to the nearest $250!

    Hope this helps
