Question 140557: I am trying to figure out the equation for the following:
I put $1000 into a savings account which has a compounded interest of 5% annually. How long will it take to earn approximately $100 in interest?
This is what I came up with, but I don't know if it is correct.
1100=1000(1.05)^r
1.1=(1.05)^r
log(1.1)=log(1.05)^r
log(1.1)=tlog(1.05)
t=log(1.1)/log(1.05)=0.0413926852/0.0211892991=1.95347118395
Is this correct? Would it take approximately 19.5 years to earn $100 in interest?

2. Assume the cost of a company picnic is described by the function
P(n) = (1/2)n2 – 10n + 80

Where n represents the number of employees and family members attending the picnic and P (in dollars) represents the cost of the picnic. How many employees and guests in attendance produce a minimum cost? What is the minimum cost for this event?
3. In the formula N = Iekt, N is the number of items in terms of an initial population I at a given time t and k is a growth constant equal to the percent of growth per unit time. There are currently 45 million cars in a certain country, increasing by 3.2% annually. How many years will it take for this country to have 61 million cars. Round to the nearest year.
