2. the price of a gallon of milk has been rising about 1.36% per year since 2000.
a. if milk costs $4.70 now, what will it cost next year?
b. if milk costs $4.70 now, how long will it take for the price to top $5?

a) $ 4.76392

b) 4 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate in increment is 1.36% per year.

a) current price of milk= $4.7

  rise in price after one year = ()(4.7)

   = $ 0.06392

Thus the total price is current price + rise = 4.7 + 0.06392

= $ 4.76392

b) current price = $ 4.7

 let time be "t".

 final price is $5.

thus,

calculating, n turns out to be 4 years.

We know that the price of a gallon of milk rises 1.36% per year.

If know the milk costs $4.70, then after one year, the difference would be

This means that after one year, the gallon of milk cost $0.06392 more, and the final price one year in the future would be

Now, to find the number of years it would take to the milk cost $5, we could repeat the initial process until we get to $5. Or, we could use the compound formula to do it faster.

Where

Then,

Therefore, after around six years, the price would be $5.

Step-by-step explanation:

It isn't clear what is supposed to go in the various blanks. We have elected to identify the corresponding congruent parts, and name the congruent triangles. The postulate supporting the conclusion is also shown.

In most cases, corresponding parts are marked congruent. The exception is the vertical angles in figure 22.
