Jackson invested $4,200 in an account paying an interest rate of 9 1/2 compounded continuously. Julia invested $4,200 in an acco

unt paying an interest rate of 8 7/8 compounded quarterly. To the nearest hundredth of a year, how much longer would it take for Julia's money to double than for Jackson's money to double?

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

I'm horrible at this please help:((((​
wel

Step-by-step explanation:

You can insert different values of x to find y

For example:

x = 4

Plug in x into the equation

y = -1/2(4) + 5

y = -2 + 5

y = 3

So your point will be (4, 3)

If you do 1 more like this, you can draw a line between them. Or you can use Desmos to graph the line.

Hope this helped you!!

Sara is trying to find an equation for a line that passes through (5, 2) and is perpendicular to 3x + 2y = 15. Explain the steps
Anettt [7]
Not on your list, but an easy way is
.. a) swap coefficients of x and y, negating one. (Now you have 2x -3y.)
.. b) set any constant term to zero (now you have 2x -3y = 0)
.. c) translate the line to the point (5, 2) by substituting x ⇒ x-5, y⇒ y-2
2(x -5) -3(y -2) = 0


The way you've been taught, selection C is the proper choice.
