1. The cost of a hectare of land is believed to be A(2.7)^(kt) in dollars, where t is the number of years, And A and k are constants. After 3 years the value of the land is $112 486 and after 7 years it is $131 593
Find the values of A and k.
2. The number of particles of ash deposited up a chimney is given by log(base 10)N = (Alog(base 10)h) + (log(base 10)k), where N is the number of particles, h is the height of the chimney, and A and k ar constants. At a height of 1 metre, the number of particles deposited is 1000. At a height of 5 metres the number of particles deposited is 25 000. Find the height of a chimney if 100 000 particles are depositied.
3. The population p of a species of creatures after t years is given by ((6(3)^t)-2) / ((2(3)^t)+5) where p is measured in millions What size does the population get close to as the years pass?
If you can only do/only have time for one questions thats fine. Also i'm new to this so could you please fully explain and show lots of working. Thanks so much!

Just how to attack #1
divide 7 yr one by 3 yr one (2.7)^4k=131593/112486
then 4kln(2.7) = ln(131593)-ln(112486
get k then put k into either eq to get A.
