1. How many years would it take your money to double:
(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)

(a) Evaluate the elasticity at 40. E(40)=
(b) When is the demand unitary.
(d) What is the maximum revenue?

4. A bacteria culture starts with 760 bacteria and grows at a rate proportional to its size. After 2 hours there will be 1520 bacteria.

You were left with an assignment and NO instructions?

(a) $1.1^{n} = 2$ -- Solve for n

(b) $\left(1+\frac{0.1}{52}\right)^{n} = 2$ -- Solve for n

(c) $e^{0.1\cdot n} = 2$ -- 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
