It would Julia 0.60 years more to double the initial investment.

What is future value?

Future value means the initial investment multiplied by 2 since the future value is meant to double.

The formula for future value of a continuously interest rate is provided below:

FV=PV*e^(rt)

FV=future value=$4,200*2=$8,400

PV=initial investment=$4,200

e=exponential constant=2.7182818

r=interest rate=9.5%

t=number of years it takes for the investment to double=unknown

$8,400=$4,200*2.7182818^(9.5%*t)

$8,400/$4,200=2.7182818^(0.095t)

2=2.7182818^0.095t

take log of both sides

ln(2)=0.095t* ln(2.7182818)

0.095t=ln(2)/ln(2.7182818)

0.095t=0.69314718781684800

t=0.69314718781684800/0.095

t=7.30 years

The future value when interest is compounded quarterly is shown thus:

FV=PV*(1+r/4)^(N*4)

FV=$8,400

PV=$4,200

r=8 7/8%

r=8.875%

N=the number of years it would take for the initial investment to double=unknown

$8,400=$4,200*(1+8.875%/4)^(N4)

$8,400=$4,200*(1+0.0221875)^(N4)

$8,400/$4,200=(1+0.0221875)^(N4)

2=(1+0.0221875)^(N4)

2=(1.0221875)^(N4)

take log of both sides

ln(2)=N4*ln(1.0221875)

N4=ln(2)/ln(1.0221875)

N4=31.5857423180125

N=31.5857423180125/4

N=7.90

Difference in years=7.90-7.30

difference in years=0.60 years

Find the mean of the data in the dot plot below
Firdavs [7]
The mean would be 5
Reason for this is that the mean is when all data is summed up then divided by how many data points there are
So 4+4+7=15
Then divide by 3 would equal 5
I hope this helps!

15-20 pleaseee!!!! I really. Red help

15. First Distribute
-6x-4 = 2X + 6
Add 6X on both sides
-4 = 8x+6
Subract 6 on both sides
8x=-10
Divide by 8 on both sides
X = -10/8 = -5/4
16. -13
17. Cross Multiplication
32 = 3X-3
Add 3 on both sides
35 = 3X
Divide by 3 on both sides
35/3 = X
18. Can't see the whole picture
19. Add 7 on both sides
6N = 42. Divide by 6
N = 7
20. 2x+6=-x+1. ---- I cross multiplied
2x+5=-x. ---- I subract 1 on both sides
-3x = 5. ----- Subract 2X
X=5/-3 ---- I divided it by -3
