Unlike with animals, artifacts in the fossil record of bacteria and archaea offer very little information for analysis. Fossils of ancient prokaryotes look like tiny bubbles in rock. How might scientists investigate their evolution and diversity in view of this challenge?

air, water, heat and noise pollution can all be caused by producing and using technology. consuming resources - non-renewable resources, including precious metals like gold, are used to make technology

9.9 years

a = p(1 + rt) . . account balance after time t at rate r starting with principal p

3000 = 2500(1 + 0.0202t) . . filling in the given numbers

1.2 = 1 + 0.0202t . . divide by 2500

0.2 = 0.0202t . . . subtract 1

0.2/0.0202 = t ≈ 9.901

it will take about 9.9 years for the account balance to reach $3000.

so whats the answer
