Ijust need with part c. a pumpkin is being grown for a contest at the state fair. its growth can be modeled by the equation p=25(1.56)^n, where p is the weight of the pumpkin in pounds and n is the number of weeks the pumpkin has been growing. a. by what percentage does the pumpkin grow every week? (my answer) the pumpkin grows 156% percent every week. b. after how many weeks will the pumpkin be 80 pounds? (my answer)the pumpkin will be 80 pounds after 3 weeks. c. what if the growth percentage changed to 32, after how many weeks will the pumpkin be 80 pounds?

A) the growth is 56% per week. The 1.56 is multiplying the weight of the pumpkin now by the 56% to get the total weight after the 56% increase.

B) Replace P with 80 and solve for n:

80 = 25(1.56)^n

Divide each side by 25:

80/25 = 1.56^n / 25

3.2 = 1.56^n

Take the natural logarithm of both sides:

ln(3.2) = ln(1.56^n)

Remove the exponent:

ln(3.2) = n(ln(1.56)

Divide both sides by ln(1.56)

n = ln(3.2) / ln(1.56)

n = 2.6 weeks, round to 3 weeks.

C)  Change 1.56 to 1.32 and redo the same calculation from B.

80 = 25(1.32)^n

80/25 = 1.32^n /25

3.2 = 1.32^n

ln(3.2) = ln(1.32^n)

ln(3.2) = n(ln(1.32)

n = ln(3.2) / ln(132)

n = 4.2, round to 4 weeks.

why do wages differ across industries

step-by-step explanation :

micro economists are concerned with economics on an industry or individual firm basis.

macro economists are concerned with national and international level
