How long does it take $500 to double at a simple interest rate of 24%?

Mathematics

yuradex [85]2 years ago

Answer:

4 years and 2 months

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Simple interest formula</u>

A = P(1 + rt)

where:

  • A = final amount
  • P = principal amount
  • r = interest rate (in decimal form)
  • t = time (in years)

Given:

  • A = $500 × 2 = $1,000
  • P = $500
  • r = 24% = 0.24

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

\implies \sf 1000 = 500(1 + 0.24t)

\implies \sf \dfrac{1000}{500}=(1 + 0.24t)

\implies \sf 2=1 + 0.24t

\implies \sf 1 = 0.24t

\implies \sf t=\dfrac{1}{0.24}

\implies \sf t=4 \frac{1}{6} \:years

\implies \sf t=4\:years\:2\:months

Therefore, it takes 4 years and 2 months for the initial investment of $500 to double at a simple interested rate of 24%.

Jensen is building a snow fort. Each block in the fort weighs about 1 kilogram. Jensen hopes to make about 40 blocks for the for
babymother [125]

Answer: 13,333 snowflakes

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise let be "x" represents the number of snowflakes that will be in the fort.

According to the information given in the exercise, the weight of one block is 1 kilogram. Knowing that the fort must have 40 blocks, the total weight is:

total\ weight=(1\ g)(40)\\\\total\ weight=40\ g

 Since each snowflake weighs 3* 10^{-3} grams, need to divide the total weight calculated above by the weight of a snowfake.

Therefore, through this procedure you get the following result:

x=\frac{40\ grams}{3 * 10 ^{-3}\ grams}\\\\x\approx13,333

Therefore, the there will be 13,333 snowflakes in the fort.

Hi. I need help with these questions.<br>See image for question.<br>​
Oduvanchick [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given</u>

  • f(x) = 4x³ + 3x² - 2x - 1

<u>Divide it by the following:</u>

<u>(a) 2x + 1</u>

  • 4x³ + 3x² - 2x - 1 =
  • (4x³ + 2x²) + (x² + 1/2x) - (5/2x + 5/4) + 1/4 =
  • 2x²(2x+1) + 1/2x(2x + 1) - 5/4(2x + 1) + 1/4 =
  • (2x + 1)(2x² + 1/2x - 5/4) + 1/4

Quotient =  2x² + 1/2x - 5/4

Remainder = 1/4

<u>(b) 2x - 3</u>

  • 4x³ + 3x² - 2x - 1 =
  • (4x³ - 6x²) + (9x² - 13.5x) + (11.5x - 17.25) + 16.25 =
  • (2x -3)(2x² + 4.5x + 5.75) + 16.25

Quotient = 2x² + 4.5x + 5.75

Remainder = 16.25

<u>(c) 4x - 1</u>

  • 4x³ + 3x² - 2x - 1 =
  • (4x³ - x²) + (4x² - x) - (2x - 1/2) - 3/2 =
  • (4x - 1)(x² + x - 1/2) - 3/2

Quotient = x² + x - 1/2

Remainder = - 3/2

<u>(d) x + 2</u>

  • 4x³ + 3x² - 2x - 1 =
  • (4x³ + 8x²) - (5x² + 10x) + (8x + 16) - 17 =
  • (x + 2)(4x² - 5x + 8) - 17

Quotient = 4x² - 5x + 8

Remainder = - 17
