y = 1.024^100 ln y = ln (1.024^100) = 100 * ln 1.024
ln y = 100 * 0.024 = 2.4 y = exp 2.4 = e ^ 2.4 ~ 2.7^2.4 2.7^2.4 = (27/10)^2.4 = (3^3/10) ^ 2.4 2.7^2.4 = (3^3)^2.4 / (10^2.4) = 3^7.2 / (100 * 10^0.4) = 3*(3^6)*3^0.2 / (100 * 10^0.4) = 3*(729/100)*3^0.2/10^0.4 = 3*(7.29)*(3/100)^0.2 = 21.87*(0.03)^(1/5)
y ~ 21.87 * 1/2 = 10.94
