19. How many years will it take $1000 to triple if you deposit it into a fund paying 5% compounded weekly? 20. How many years will it take $1000 to triple if you deposit it into an account paying 5% compounded continuously? 21. If the half-life of a substance is 7500 years, how many years will it take for 40% of the substance to disappear? 22. The half-life of a certain amount of a radioactive substance is 420 days. If 8.12 g remains after 126 days, what was the initial amount of the radioactive substance? 23. If you deposit $3,500 in a trust fund that pays 4.5% interest, compounded continuously, find the balance at the end of 18 years. Rounded to the nearest $1.00. 24. The population model for a certain town is given by the equation P = 250e 0.47t , where t is the time in years, with t = 0 corresponding to 1990. What will the population be in 2001?

Be sure to review other problems like the ones assigned from section 3.5 Make sure you know how to identify logarithmic and exponential models from their graph.
