Chase has been playing a game where he can create towns and help his empire expand. Each town he has allows him to create 1.13 times as many villagers as he had in the one before. The game gave Chase 4 villagers to start with. Explain to Chase how to create an equation to predict the number of villagers in any specific town. Then show how to use your equation to solve for the number of villagers he can create to live in his 17th town.

Aspacecraft can attain a stable orbit 300 kilometers above earth if it reaches a velocity of 7.7 kilometers per second. the formula for a rocket's maximum velocity v in kilometers per second is vequalsminus0.0098tplusc ln upper r, where t is the firing time in seconds, c is the velocity of the exhaust in kilometers per second, and r is the ratio of the mass of the rocket filled with fuel to the mass of the rocket without fuel. find the velocity of a spacecraft whose booster rocket has a mass ratio of 20, an exhaust velocity of 2.1 km/s, and a firing time of 15 s. can the spacecraft achieve a stable orbit 300 km above earth?
