I am having so much trouble figuring this out, I would really appreciate some help.
The question is:
The following function, L, gives the approximate percent literacy rate in India t years after 1900.
L(t)=5.3 x 1.025^t
Which of the following equivalent functions shows, as a constant or coefficient, the approximate number of years it took for the literacy rate to triple?
(a) L(t)=5.3 x 3^t/44.5
(b) L(t)=5.3 x 1.077^t/3
(c) L(t)=5.3 x 1.008^3t
(d) L(t)=3 x 1.025^t+23
Thanks so much. I know what the answer is, but I just have no idea why it is the answer. I just want to understand :(
