The total volume of a tree increases 6% each year. What will its volume be after 7 years if its volume is 5 cubic meters now? A. 5(0.06)7 B. 5(7)(0.06) C. 5(1.06)7 D. 5(7)(1.06)

Complete Question:

The total volume of a tree increases 6% each year. What will its volume be after 7 years if its volume is 5 cubic meters now? A. 5(0.06)^7 B. 5(7)(0.06) C. 5(1.06)^7 D. 5(7)(1.06)

C. 5(1.06)^7

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a tree increases by 7% every year

The formula we would be using is

V(t) = Vo (1 + r)t

Where V(t) = Volume after t years

Vo = Present of initial volume

r = rate of increase

t = time

From the question,

V(t) = Volume after t years = unknown

Vo = Present of initial volume = 5m³

r = rate of increase = 6% = 0.06

t = time = 7 in years

V(t) = 5 × ( 1 + 0.06)^ 7

V(t) =(5)(1.06)^7

Therefore, its volume be after 7 years if its volume is 5 cubic meters now is

Option C: (5)(1.06)^7

the answer is:

the answer is:

to solve the problem, we need to remember the quotient of power property, it's defined by the following relation:

if we have a quotienf of powers that have the same base, we need to keep the same base and subtract the exponent of the denominator power to the exponent of the numerator power.

so, we are given the expression:

then, calculating we have:

hence, the answer is:

have a nice day!
