arctic games held every 2 years. in 1970 it had 700 competitors in 2000 it had 2000. determine the ANNUAL growth rate. Helpppppppp!

2000 = 700 x^(2000-1970)

2.857 = x^30

log 2.857 = 30 log x

log x = .0151977

x = 1.0356
so
3.56 percent per year

check

700 * 1.0356^30 = 1999.99

sorry dude the year was 2008 can you do it again please.

To determine the annual growth rate, we need to calculate the percentage increase in the number of competitors over the 30-year period (from 1970 to 2000). Here's how we can do that:

Step 1: Calculate the total increase in the number of competitors.
The total increase in the number of competitors = 2000 (number of competitors in 2000) - 700 (number of competitors in 1970).
Total increase = 1300 competitors.

Step 2: Calculate the average annual increase in the number of competitors.
The average annual increase = Total increase / Number of years.
Average annual increase = 1300 competitors / 30 years.
Average annual increase = 43.33 competitors.

Step 3: Calculate the annual growth rate as a percentage.
Annual growth rate = (Average annual increase / Number of competitors in 1970) x 100.
Annual growth rate = (43.33 competitors / 700 competitors) x 100.
Annual growth rate = 6.19%.

Therefore, the annual growth rate of the Arctic Games competitors over the 30-year period from 1970 to 2000 is approximately 6.19%.
