In NEED OF HELP! SO Frustrating!

A nautilus shell is made up of many chambers, each chamber roughly 5% larger than the previous one. Assuming a nautilus creates a new chamber every year, and this year's chamber has a volume of 859 microliters, how large will the chamber created in 18 years be?

IK 859x(1.05)^18
idk what the heck im doing

Respuesta :

apologiabiology

ja, yo is correct, just expand that formula with your calculator

each one is 5% bigger than pevious

each one=previous+previous*5%

each one=previous*1+previous*0.05

each one=previous*(1+0.05)


each one is 1.05 times of previous

so after n years, if today year size is P then

[tex]A=P(1.05)^n[/tex]

A=final size

so ya, after 18 years, n=18 so you get

[tex]A=859(1.05)^{18}[/tex]

A=2067.29 microliters
