The equation above can be used to model the population, in thousands, of a certain city t years after 2000. According to the model, the population is predicted to increase by 0.5% every n months. What is the value of n ?
- 3
- 4
- 12
- 36
The correct answer is: 36
Because
So when = t/3 = 1
t = 3 years
so n = 12t = 36 months
n = 12(3)
= 36

Carrie, a packaging engineer, is designing a container to hold 12 drinking glasses shaped as regular octagonal prisms. Her initial sketch of the top view of the base of the container is shown above.
Carrie redesigned the container because the initial sketch did not account for cushioning material between the glasses. The area of the base of the newly designed container is 25% greater than the area of the base in the initial sketch. What is the area, in square inches, of the base of the newly designed container?
