(a) At 10% interest compounded yearly.
(b) At 10% interest compounded weekly. ___ years and ____ weeks
(c) At 10% interest compounded continuously. ____ years

2. The cost of producing x units of a product is given by
C(x)=800+90x−90ln(x),x≥1.
Find the minimum average cost.

3. The demand function for a certain children bicycle is given by x=10((50−p)/p)^(1/2)

You were left with an assignment and NO instructions?

(a) -- Solve for n

(b) -- Solve for n

(c) -- Solve for n.

You're down to algebra skills. Show us that and we can talk about the others.

I took the natural log of both sides to bring down the exponent. then divided to separate it to x, ( for example for the first answer i get 7.272540897) however according to the website this is not the correct answer
