Given Solution: During the first year the interest will be 10% of $1000, or $100. This makes the total at the end of the first year $1100. During the second year the interest will be 10% of $1100, or $110. At the end of the second year the total will therefore be $1100 + $110 = $1210. During the third year the interest will be 10% of $1210, or $121. At the end of the sphere year the total will therefore be $1210 + $121 = $1331. The yearly changes are $100, $110, and $121. These changes increase year by year. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): ok ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: ok ********************************************* Question: `q002. In the preceding problem you obtained amounts $1100, $1210 and $1331. What number would you multiply by $1000 to get $1100? What number we do multiply by $1100 to get $1210? What number would we multiply by $1210 to get $1331? What is the significance of this number and how could we have found it from the original information that the amount increases by 10 percent each year? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: 1100 / 1000 = 1.1 1210 / 1100 = 1.1 1331 / 1210 = 1.1 The original numbers go up 10%, so dividing the numbers you would get 1.1 percent increase each time. confidence rating #$&*: 3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: To get $1100 you have to multiply $1000 by 1100 / 1000 = 1.1. To get $1210 you have to multiply $1210 by 1210 / 1100 = 1.1. To get $1331 you have to multiply $1331 by 1331 / 1210 = 1.1. If the amount increases by 10 percent, then you end up with 110 percent of what you start with. 110% is the same as 1.1. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): ok ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: ********************************************* Question: `q003. Given the recurrence relation P(n) = 1.10 * P(n-1) with P(0) = 1000, substitute n = 1, 2, and 3 in turn to determine P(1), P(2) and P(3). How is this equation related to the situation of the preceding two problems? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: P(1) = 1.1 * P(1-1) = 1.1 * P0 = 1.1 * 1000 = 1100 P(2) = 1.1 * P(2-1) = 1.1 * P (1) = 1.1 * 1100 = 1210 P(3) = 1.1 * P(3-1) = 1.1 * P2 = 1.1 * 1210 = 1331 This is the same answers and is the formula for the previous questions. confidence rating #$&*: 3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: Substituting 1 into P(n) = 1.10 * P(n-1) we obtain P(1) = 1.10 * P(1-1), or P(1) = 1.10 * P(0). Since P(0) = 1000 we get P(1) = 1.1 * 1000 = 1100. Substituting 2 into P(n) = 1.10 * P(n-1) we obtain P(2) = 1.10 * P(1). Since P(1) = 1100 we get P(1) = 1.1 * 1100 = 1210. Substituting 3 into P(n) = 1.10 * P(n-1) we obtain P(3) = 1.10 * P(2). Since P(2) = 1000 we get P(3) = 1.1 * 1210 = 1331. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): ok ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: ok ********************************************* Question: `q004. If you are given $5000 and invest it at 8% annual interest, compounded annually, what number would you multiply by $5000 to get the amount at the end of the first year? Using the same multiplier, find the results that the end of the second and third years. YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: 5000 * .08 = 400 5000 + 400 = 5400 5400/5000 = 1.08% increase 5400 * 1.08 = 5832 5832 * 1.08 = 6298.56 confidence rating #$&*: 3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: If your money increases by 8% in a year, then it the end of the year you will have 108% as much as at the beginning. Since 108% is the same as 1.08, our yearly multiplier will be 1.08. If we multiply $5000 by 1.08, we obtain $5000 * 1.08 = $5400, which is the amount the end of the first your. At the end of the second year the amount will be $5400 * 1.08 = $5832. At the end of the third year the amount will be $5832 * 1.08 = $6298.56. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): ok ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: ok ********************************************* Question: `q005. How would you write the recurrence relation for a $5000 investment at 8 percent annual interest? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: P(n) = 1.08 * P(n-1) confidence rating #$&*: 3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: Just as the recurrence relation for 10 percent annual interest, as seen in the problem before the last, was P(n) = 1.10 * P(n-1), the recurrence relation for 8 percent annual interest is P(n) = 1.08 * P(n-1). &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): ok ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: ok ********************************************* Question: `q006. If you are given amount $5000 and invest it at annual rate 8% or .08, then after n years how much money do you have? What does a graph of amount of money vs. number of years look like? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: 5000 * 1.08^1 = 5400 5000 * 1.08^2 = 5832 5000 * 1.08^3 = 6298.56 So then you would just use 5000 * 1.08^n as the formula for n years. The graph of money vs. number of years would be a graph increasing at an increasing rate. confidence rating #$&*: 3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: After 1 year the amount it $5000 * 1.08. Multiplying this by 1.08 we obtain for the amount at the end of the second year ($5000 * 1.08) * 1.08 = $5000 * 1.08^2. Multiplying this by 1.08 we obtain for the amount at the end of the third year ($5000 * 1.08^2) * 1.08 = $5000 * 1.08^3. Continuing to multiply by 1.08 we obtain $5000 * 1.08^3 at the end of year 3, $5000 * 1.08^4 at the end of year 4, etc.. It should be clear that we can express the amount at the end of the nth year as $5000 * 1.08^n. If we evaluate $5000 * 1.08^n for n = 0, 1, 2, ..., 10 we get $5000, $5400, 5832, 6298.56, 6802.45, 7346.64, 7934.37, 8569.12, 9254.65, 9995.02, 10,794.62. It is clear that the amount increases by more and more with every successive year. This result in a graph which passes through the vertical axis at (0, 5000) and increases at an increasing rate. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): ok ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: ok ********************************************* Question: `q007. With a $5000 investment at 8 percent annual interest, how many years will it take to double the investment? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: 5000 * 1.08^8 = 9254.65 5000 * 1.08^9 = 9995.02 5000 * 1.08^10 = 10794.62 It would take between year 9 and 10 to double your investment. confidence rating #$&*: 3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: Multiplying $5000 successively by 1.08 we obtain amounts $5400, 5832, 6298.56, 6802.45, 7346.64, 7934.37, 8569.12, 9254.65, 9995.02, 10,794.62 at the end of years 1 thru 10. We see that the doubling to $10,000 occurs very shortly after the end of the ninth year. We can make a closer estimate. If we calculate $5000 * 1.08^x for x = 9 and x = 9.1 we get about $10,072. So at x = 9 and at x = 9.1 the amounts are $9995 and $10072. The first $5 of the $77 increase will occur at about 5/77 of the .1 year time interval. Since 5/77 * .1 = .0065, a good estimate would be that the doubling time is 9.0065 years. If we evaluate $5000 * 1.08^9.0065 we get $10,000.02. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): Closer estimate time notated in my notes. ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: ok ********************************************* Question: `q008. If you are given amount P0 and invest it at annual rate r (e.g., for the preceding example r would be 8%, which in numerical form is .08), then after n years how much money do you have? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: P0 = r * P (n-1) confidence rating #$&*: 1 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: If the annual interest rate is .08 then each year we would multiply the amount by 1.08, the amount after n years would be P0 * 1.08^n. If the rate is represented by r then each year then each year we multiply by 1 + r, and after n years we have P0 * (1 + r)^n. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): I understand what you are meaning. If the rate of r plus 1 for each year and then to the power of n, multiplied by P) for the amount. I have noted this and understand. ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: ok ********************************************* Question: `q009. If after an injection of 800 mg an antibiotic your body removes 10% every hour, then how much antibiotic remains after each of the first 3 hours? How long does it take your body to remove half of the antibiotic? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: .10 removed every hour, so .9 would be the next hour. 800 * .9 = 720 remains 800 * .9^2 = 648 remains 800 * .9^3 = 583.2 remains To get to about half 800 * .9^6 = 425.15 800 * .9 ^7 = 382.64 A good estimate would be about x = 6.6 and x = 6.5. 800 * .9^6.6 = 399.11 800 * .9^6.5 = 403.34 confidence rating #$&*: 3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: If 10 percent of the antibiotic is removed each hour, then at the end of the hour the amount left will be 90 percent of what was present at the beginning of the hour. Thus after 1 hour we have .90 * 800 mg, after a second hour we have .90 of this, or .90^2 * 800 mg, and after a third hour we have .90 of this, or .90^3 * 800 mg. The numbers are 800 mg * .90 = 720 mg, then .90 of this or 648 mg, then .90 of this or 583.2 mg. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): ok ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: ok ********************************************* Question: `q010. In the preceding problem, what function Q(t) represents the amount of antibiotic present after t hours? What does a graph of Q(t) vs. t look like? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: The function would be Q(t) = 800 * .9^t The graph of Q(t) vs. t would be decreasing at a decreasing rate. confidence rating #$&*: 3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: After t hours we will have 800 * .9^t mg left. So Q(t) = 800 * .9^t. The amounts for the first several years are 800, 720, 648, 583.2, etc.. These amounts decrease by less and less each time. As a result the graph, which passes through the vertical axes at (0,800), decreases at a decreasing rate. We note that no matter how many times we multiply by .9 our result will always be greater than 0, so the graph will keep decreasing at a decreasing rate, approaching the horizontal axis but never touching it. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): ok ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: ok ********************************************* Question: `q011. Suppose that we know that the population of fish in a pond, during the year after the pond is stocked, should be an exponential function of the form P = P0 * b^t, where t stands for the number of months after stocking. If we know that the population is 300 at the end of 2 months and 500 at the end of six months, then what system of 2 simultaneous linear equations do we get by substituting this information into the form of the function? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: 300 = P0 * b^2 500 = P0 * b^6 confidence rating #$&*: 3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: We substitute the populations 300 then 500 for P and substitute 2 months and 6 months for t to obtain the equations 300 = P0 * b^2 and 500 = P0 * b^6. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): ok ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: ok ********************************************* Question: `q012. We obtain the system 300 = P0 * b^2 500 = P0 * b^6 in the situation of the preceding problem. If we divide the second equation by the first, what equation do we obtain? What do we get when we solve this equation for b? If we substitute this value of b into the first equation, what equation do we get? If we solve this equation for P0 what do we get? What therefore is our specific P = P0 * b^t function for this problem? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: P = P0 * b^t t = # of months after stocking population = 300 at the end of 2 months = 500 at the end of 6 months 300 = P0 * b^2 500 = P0 * b^6 Divide: (500 = P0 * b^6) / (300 = P0 * b^2) (5 = b^6) / (3 = b^2) 5/3 = b^6-2 5/3 = b^4 Solve for b: 5/3^(1/4) = b^4(1/4) b = 1.136 Add b into the equation and solve for P0 500 = P0 * 1.136^6 500/1.136^6 = P0 P0 = 232.648 New function: P = 232.648 * 1.136^t confidence rating #$&*: 2 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: Dividing the second equation by the first the left-hand side will be left-hand side: 500/300, which reduces to 5/3, and the right-hand side will be right-hand side: (P0 * b^6) / (P0 * b^2), which we rearrange to get (P0 / P0) * (b^6 / b^2) = 1 * b^(6-2) = b^4. Our equation is therefore b^4 = 5/3. To solve this equation for b we take the 1/4 power of both sides to obtain (b^4)^(1/4) = (5/3)^(1/4), or b = 1.136, to four significant figures. Substituting this value back into the first equation we obtain 300 = P0 * 1.136^2. Solving this equation for P0 we divide both sides by 1.136^2 to obtain P0 = 300 / (1.136^2) = 232.4, again accurate to 4 significant figures. Substituting our values of P0 and b into the original form P = P0 * b^t we obtain our function P = 232.4 * 1.136^t. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): ok ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: ok If you understand the assignment and were able to solve the previously given problems from your worksheets, you should be able to complete most of the following problems quickly and easily.

If you invest $4000 at 5% interest, compounded annually: How much money do you have after 8 years? How much money do you have after t years? At the end of which year does the amount of money more than double the original amount? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: $4000 at 5% interest 4000*.05 = 200 4000 + 200 = 4200 4200/4000 = 1.05 After 8 years: 4000 * 1.05^8 = 5909.82 After t years: 4000 * 1.05^t To double money: 4000 * 1.05^14 = 7919.73 4000 * 1.05^15 = 8315.71 t = 14.2 and t = 14.215 t = 14.2 = 7997.39 t = 14.215 = 8003.24 8003.24 - 7997.39 = 5.85 2.61/5.85 * .215 = .09 4000 * 1.05^14.209 = 8000.89 It would take 14.209 years to double your money. confidence rating #$&*: 3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ********************************************* Question: `q014.

What was the original amount? What was the interest rate? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: P = 5 years you have $1100 and 10 years you have $1300 1100 = P0 * b^5 1300 = P0 * b^10 1300/1100 = P0 * b^10 / P0 * b^5 13/11 = b^5 13/11 = b^5 b = 8.0476 1100 = P0 * 8.0476^5 1100 / 8.0476^5 = P0 P0 = .0326 P = .0326 * 8.0476^t confidence rating #$&*: 3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique rating: ok " Self-critique (if necessary): ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique rating:
