Exercise 3.10.23. [S][Section 3.3][Goal 3.2] How long is a year? In Fermi problems we often use 400 days/year to make the arithmetic easier. (a) What is the relative error when you use 400 days/year instead of 365 days/year? (b) What does the Google calculator tell you when you ask it for one year in days ? (c) Why isn't the answer above "365 days"? (d) What are the relative and absolute errors when you use Google's answer instead of days? (e) Why isn't Google's answer just "365.25 days" to take leap years into account?

Question 3 You're out of gas! You need to fill up the gas tank of your friend's sports car before you return it tomorrow. Only premium gas will suffice. The gas station beside your home is selling premium fuel for $1.90 per litre. On Google maps you see that there is a gas station 60 km away that is selling premium for $1.60 per litre. At the moment you need to buy 60 litres of gas to fill up the tank. Assume that you still have enough fuel to drive 60 km. The average fuel consumption of the car is 10 litres per 100 km. (Note: your friend wants the car back with a full tank, so if you drive to the further station to take advantage of the lower price, you will need to replace the amount of gas that you used on the drive back at the local station.)

If there are 48 grams of Np-240 present, how much Np-240 will remain after 4 hours? (Np-240 has a half-life of 1 hour) Answer:
5. In Sections 6.3 and 6.4, We learned the following strategies to solve exponential & logarithmic equations: Exponential Equations: Rewrite the equation so the bases match Take the natural logarithm of both sides Use u-substitution Logarithmic Equations: Rearrange to exponential form Set the inside of two logarithms equal to each other Combine two logarithms into one (1 point each) Use the strategies above to solve the equations below. Round your answers to 2 decimal places. You'll use each strategy one time. a.) 2x = 129 b.) log(x) = log(x-3) c.) 3x-12 = (243) * d.) In(x²-99) 0 e.) log3(x-4)+ log,(x+4)=2 f.) e2x3ex-10=0
