Answer:
4.33
Step-by-step explanation:
If you don't have the cube root function in your calculator, u can chose a choice instead and cube the value.
9x9 is already 81, hence 9x9x9 > 81
27 x 27 Is definitely more than 81
Hence the only reasonable answer is 4.33

Answer:
7.92 years
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find t such that ...
3 = 2^(t/5)
where 2^(t/5) is the annual multiplier when doubling time is 5 years.
Taking logs, we have ...
log(3) = (t/5)log(2)
t = 5·log(3)/log(2) ≈ 7.92 . . . years
It will take about 7.92 years for the population to triple.
