Answer:

14.7 quarts

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the given equivalence figures to write a proportion. Solve the proportion for the unknown value.

quarts/liters = x/14 = 1/0.95 . . . . . the conversion is given as 1 qt = 0.95 L

Multiply by 14 to find x.

x = 14(1/0.95) ≈ 14.7

There are about 14.7 quarts in 14 liters.

Additional comment

You are given a value in liters (14 liters) and asked for the equivalent in quarts. That means you want to change the units from liters to quarts. To do that, you can multiply the given value (14 liters) by a conversion factor that has quarts in the numerator and liters in the denominator. That is what the fraction 1/0.95 is in the above. You will note that units of liters cancel in this equation.

$(14\text{ liters})\times\dfrac{1\text{ quart}}{0.95\text{ liter}}=\dfrac{14}{0.95}\text{ quarts}\approx14.7\text{ quarts}$

This rule, "use a conversion factor that divides by the units you don't want and multiplies by the units you do want" applies to any units conversion problem. The conversion factor you use should always have equal quantities in the numerator and denominator. (Here, the equal quantities are 1 quart and 0.95 liters.)

You will notice that we treat units just like any variable. They can be multiplied, divided, cancelled, raised to a power. Only terms with like units can be added or subtracted.

Answer: B) x ≥ -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain represents all of the x-values.

In the given graph, the x-values start at -2 and go continuously through to positive infinity.

Therefore, x ≥ -2

At an interest rate of 8% compounded annually, how long will it take to double the following investments?

Paladinen [302]

Let's see, if the first one has a Principal of $50, when it doubles the accumulated amount will then be $100,

recall your logarithm rules for an exponential,

$\bf \textit{Logarithm of exponentials}\\\\
log_{{ a}}\left( x^{{ b}} \right)\implies {{ b}}\cdot log_{{ a}}(x)\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\qquad \textit{Compound Interest Earned Amount}
\\\\
$

$\bf A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}
\quad 
\begin{cases}
A=\textit{accumulated amount}\to &\$100\\
P=\textit{original amount deposited}\to &\$50\\
r=rate\to 8\%\to \frac{8}{100}\to &0.08\\
n=
\begin{array}{llll}
\textit{times it compounds per year}\\
\textit{annnually, thus once}
\end{array}\to &1\\
t=years
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
100=50\left(1+\frac{0.08}{1}\right)^{1\cdot t}\implies 100=50(1.08)^t
\\\\\\
\cfrac{100}{50}=1.08^t\implies 2=1.08^t\implies log(2)=log(1.08^t)
\\\\\\
$

$\bf log(2)=t\cdot log(1.08)\implies \cfrac{log(2)}{log(1.08)}=t\implies 9.0065\approx t\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
$

now, for the second amount, if the Principal is 500, the accumulated amount is 1000 when doubled,

$\bf \qquad \textit{Compound Interest Earned Amount}
\\\\
A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}
\quad 
\begin{cases}
A=\textit{accumulated amount}\to &\$1000\\
P=\textit{original amount deposited}\to &\$500\\
r=rate\to 8\%\to \frac{8}{100}\to &0.08\\
n=
\begin{array}{llll}
\textit{times it compounds per year}\\
\textit{annnually, thus once}
\end{array}\to &1\\
t=years
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
1000=500\left(1+\frac{0.08}{1}\right)^{1\cdot t}\implies 1000=500(1.08)^t
\\\\\\
$

$\bf \cfrac{1000}{500}=1.08^t\implies 2=1.08^t\implies log(2)=log(1.08^t)
\\\\\\
log(2)=t\cdot log(1.08)\implies \cfrac{log(2)}{log(1.08)}=t\implies 9.0065\approx t\\\\
-------------------------------$

now, for the last, Principal is 1700, amount is then 3400,

$\bf \qquad \textit{Compound Interest Earned Amount}
\\\\
A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}
\quad 
\begin{cases}
A=\textit{accumulated amount}\to &\$3400\\
P=\textit{original amount deposited}\to &\$1700\\
r=rate\to 8\%\to \frac{8}{100}\to &0.08\\
n=
\begin{array}{llll}
\textit{times it compounds per year}\\
\textit{annnually, thus once}
\end{array}\to &1\\
t=years
\end{cases}$

$\bf 3400=1700\left(1+\frac{0.08}{1}\right)^{1\cdot t}\implies 3400=1700(1.08)^t
\\\\\\
\cfrac{3400}{1700}=1.08^t\implies 2=1.08^t\implies log(2)=log(1.08^t)
\\\\\\
log(2)=t\cdot log(1.08)\implies \cfrac{log(2)}{log(1.08)}=t\implies 9.0065\approx t$

5 to the power of 5 divided by 5 to the power of 3

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5 to the power of 5 is 3125.

because you do 5x5x5x5

then you do 5x5x5 which is 125

3125/125 = 25
