the line, ''we either have a turtle, or we don't have a turtle" made me laugh

[@typical106]

Thanks this really helped me before i took my finals i will share this with my friends

[@djonesmathematics]

Glad it helped!

[@brookevetter3845]

for real the only vid I watched that actually helped me understand and ur voice isnt annoying like the rest. u the goat djones

[@nilaydesaiii]

Thanks for this, i really needed this to understand it better since I am in 8th grade and in honors Algebra 1

EIGHTH GRADE WTF

I took math 1 in 7th grade about to be a sophomore next year

[@IsabellaJohleeOpulencia]

is there a way to graph this and find its intercepts?

[@djonesmathematics]

Yes you can graph these, can be challenging because the base is not a whole number most of the time. For the y-intercept you can plug in t=0, no x-intercept for these functions.

god bless you sir thank you

what calculator are you using?

[@djonesmathematics]

Using a TI - 84

What about for the first problem? Why did you round up if you were referring to the members of the gym? Isn't that supposed to be 146 only? And should be “we either have a member, or we don't have a member,” too?

[@djonesmathematics]

If the problem gives you rounding directions then we follow those over the logical approach.

[@katecollard2197]

Thanks mr Jones!!

[@MohdAnas-xz6fu]

when to use the other formula i.e. Q'=Qe^kt (where Q is the initial amount and k is the percentage of increase and t is the time)???

[@djonesmathematics]

That formula is for continuous compounding, definitely an interesting case to look into!

[@sollyrella4689]

Thanks A LOT!

[@djonesmathematics]

You're welcome!

The third and fourth question are wrong. For instance the fourth question where you are asked to find the population of USA in 2007, it says there is an increase of 0.85% ANNUALLY meaning that 0.85% is increased every year. the answer is 434395 I believe

[@djonesmathematics]

I tried to run the computation a few different ways and could not seem to come up with your answer. Always intrigued by a different interpretation and approach to a math problem.

[@wilsonkamwana9869]

@@djonesmathematics the question indicated that the population increased annually, aint we supposed to multiply the rate by 7 first? like 0.85%*7=0.00595... that will be our rate... my suggestion though,waiting for your input

[@djonesmathematics]

@@wilsonkamwana9869 So the rate gets computed each year, this is where the exponent helps show the repeated multiplication. For this reason we would not multiply the rate by 7 to start.

Thank you Very Useful

Glad it was helpful!
