Answer:

Equation is  A = 5000(1.015)^(4t)

Her investment will be worth $10,000 in about <u>11.63888 years</u>

Rounding up to the nearest whole number gets to <u>12 years</u>

==========================================================

Explanation:

Part 1) Finding the equation

The compound interest formula is

A = P(1+r/n)^(n*t)

Here are the variables

  • A = final amount
  • P = starting amount, or deposit, or principal
  • r = interest rate in decimal form
  • n = number of times money is compounded per year
  • t = number of years

In this case,

  • P = 5000
  • r = 0.06 from the 6% annual interest
  • n = 4 times a year is the compounding frequency
  • t = unknown amount of time

Therefore, the equation is

A = P(1+r/n)^(n*t)

A = 5000(1+0.06/4)^(4t)

A = 5000(1.015)^(4t)

The decimal value is exact.

--------------------------

Part 2) Let's plug in A = 10,000 and solve for t.

You'll need to use logarithms to isolate the exponent.

A = 5000(1.015)^(4t)

10,000 = 5000(1.015)^(4t)

10,000/5000 = (1.015)^(4t)

2 = (1.015)^(4t)

Log[ 2 ] = Log[ (1.015)^(4t) ]

Log(2) = 4t*Log( 1.015 )

4t = Log(2)/Log(1.015)

4t = 46.5555256308062

t = 46.5555256308062/4

t = 11.6388814077015

t = 11.63888

It takes about 11.63888 years for the investment to reach $10,000.

Therefore, at the 12 year mark is when the investment is more than $10,000.

Answer:

11 years and 9 months

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Compound Interest Formula</u>

\large \text{$ \sf A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt} $}

where:

  • A = final amount
  • P = principal amount
  • r = interest rate (in decimal form)
  • n = number of times interest applied per time period
  • t = number of time periods elapsed

Given:

  • A = $10000
  • P = $5000
  • r = 6% = 0.06
  • n = 4 (as compounded quarterly)
  • t = years

Substitute the given values into the equation and solve for t:

\implies 10000=5000\left(1+\dfrac{0.06}{4}\right)^{4t}

\implies \dfrac{10000}{5000}=\left(1+0.015\right)^{4t}

\implies 2=\left(1.015\right)^{4t}

Take natural logs of both sides:

\implies \ln 2=\ln \left(1.015\right)^{4t}

Apply the power log law:

\implies \ln 2=4t\ln \left(1.015\right)

Simplify:

\implies t=\dfrac{\ln 2}{4 \ln 1.015}

\implies t=11.63888141

11.6388141... years ≈ 11 years and 7.7 months

As the interest is earned <u>quarterly</u>, round this to the nearest quarter

⇒ 11 years and 9 months.

Therefore, Kim's investment will be worth <em>more</em> than $10,000 at <u>11 years and 9 months</u>.

The sum of two numbers is 52. The larger number is 8 more than the smaller number. What are the numbers?
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

The smaller number is 22

The larger number is 30

Step-by-step explanation:

L + S = 52

L = S + 8

Set both equations equal to L.

S + 8 = -S + 52

+S        +S

2S + 8 = 52

     - 8    - 8

2S = 44

S = 22

To find the larger number, plug 22 in as S into the equations.

L = 30

You are supposed to answer where the function, h(x), is decreasing. In other words, where is “y” decreasing.

In this graph, I believe it would be from (-3,4)U(8,infinity). I hope this helps.

A machine covers 5/8 square foot in 1/4 hour
VLD [36.1K]

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

A machine covers 5/8 square foot in 1/4 hour. what is the unit rate?

Answer:

2.5 square feet per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Area covered by a machine = frac{5}{8}\ ft^2

Time taken to cover the given area = \frac{1}{4}\ h

Now, unit rate of the first quantity with respect to second quantity is the magnitude of the first quantity being when the second quantity is one unit.

Here, the first quantity is the area covered and the second quantity is the time taken.

So, unit rate is the area covered by the machine in 1 hour.

In order to find that, we use the unitary method and divide the area by the total time taken. Therefore,

Unit\ rate=\frac{Total\ area\ covered}{Total\ time\ taken}\\\\Unit\ rate=(\frac{5}{8}\ ft^2)\div (\frac{1}{4}\ h)\\\\Unit\ rate=\frac{5}{8}\times \frac{4}{1}\ ft^2/h\\\\Unit\ rate=\frac{20}{8}=2.5\ ft^2/h

Thus, the unit rate is 2.5 square feet per hour.
