The number of years she had her investment is after 3 years

<h3>How to determine the years of investment?</h3>

From the question, the given parameters are:

Principal Amount, P = $400
Interest Rate, r = 1.72%
Simple Interest, I = $20.64

The number of years (T) is calculated from the following simple interest formula

I = PRT

Substitute the given parameters in the above equation

20.64 = 400 * 1.72% * t

Express 1.72% as decimal without percentage

20.64 = 400 * 0.0172 * t

Evaluate the product

20.64 = 6.88 * t

Divide both sides by 6.88

20.64/6.88 = 6.88/6.88 * t

Evaluate the quotient

3 = t

Rewrite the equation as

t = 3

This means that she had her investment after 3 years

Hence, the number of years she had her investment is after 3 years

3 to the 2 power times 5 to the 3 times 8 divided by 3 times 5 to the 3 times 8

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First condense all the numbers with exponents:

3² x 5³x 8 divided by 3 x 5³ x 8

27 x 125 x 8 divided by 3 x 27 x 8

Then multiply 27 , 125 ,and 8

27 x 125 x 8 =27000

Then multiply 3, 27 ,and 8

3 x 27 x 8 = 648

Then divide 27000 by 648

27000 / 648 = 41.6666666667

Which rounds to about: 42

Often sales of a new product grow rapidly at first and then level off with time. This is the case with the sales represented by

True [87]

Answer:

Here we have the function:

S(t) = 500 - 400*t^(-1)

Then the rate of change at the value t, will be:

S'(t) = dS(t)/dt

This differentiation will be:

S'(t) = -400/t^2

Then:

a) the rate of change at t = 1 is:

S'(1) = -400/1^2 = -400

The rate of change after one year is -400

b) t = 10

S'(10) = -400/10^2 = -400/100 = -4

The rate of change after 10 years is -4, it reduced as the years passed, as expected.
