r\approx0.139

1) Since this is a Continuously Compounded operation in a 10 yrs period, then we can write out the following equation:

\begin{gathered} A=Pe^{rt} \\  \end{gathered}

2) Plugging into the equation the given data and since Otto is 20 yrs old and he plans to get $4,000 in ten years, we can write out:

\begin{gathered} 4000=1000e^{\mleft\{10r\mright\}} \\ \frac{4000}{1000}=\frac{1000e^{10r}}{1000} \\ 4=e^{10r} \\ \ln (4)=\ln (e)^{10r} \\ 10r=\ln (4) \\ r=\frac{\ln (4)}{10} \\ r=0.1386 \end{gathered}

3) Thus the rate Otto needs is

r=0.1386\approx0.139

Note that since the 0.1386 the six here is greater than 5 then we can round up to the next thousandth, in this case: 0.139. For the 0.1386 is closer to 0.139 (0.004) than to 0.138 (0.006).

Or 13.9%

xenn [34]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{23 s}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Jaime is at point A and wants to get across the river to Point B.

They must head upstream towards Point C.

1. Calculate the net speed across the river.

∆ABC is a right triangle, so

\begin{array}{rcl}AB^{2} + BC^{2} & = & AC^{2} \\AB^{2} +10^{2} & = & 12^{2} \\AB^{2}+100& = & 144 \\AB^{2}& = & 44\\AB & = & \sqrt{44}\\& = & 2\sqrt{11}\\& \approx &\textbf{6.633 m/s}\\\end{array}

2. Calculate the time to cross the river

\text{Time} = \text{150 m} \times \dfrac{\text{1 s}}{\text{6.633 m}} \approx \textbf{23 s}\\\\\text{It will take $\large \boxed{\textbf{23 s}}$ to cross the river.}

Starting at the same point at the same time, Samuel and Heather rode their bikes in the same direction. Samuel traveled 3km/h fa
12345 [234]

Samuel was going with 40 km/h and Heather was going with 37 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting at the same point at the same time, Samuel and Heather rode their bikes in the same direction

  • Samuel traveled 3 km/h faster than Heather
  • After 3.5 h Samuel stopped for a half-hour break, but Heather kept going
  • Heather was 8 km ahead of Samuel

We need to find how fast each was going

Assume that Heather's speed is x km/h

∵ Heather's speed = x km/h

∵ Samuel traveled 3 km/h faster than Heather

∴ Samuel's speed = x + 3 km/h

The formula of the distance is distance = speed × time

∵ Samuel travel for 3.5 hours

- Find the distance that Samuel traveled in 3.5 h

∴ Samuel distance = (x + 3) × 3.5

- Multiply the bracket by 3.5 to simplify

∴ Samuel distance = 3.5x + 10.5

∵ Samuel took a break for half hour

∵ Heather kept going

∵ At the end of the break, Heather was 8 km ahead of Samuel

- That means Heather was going for 4 hours (3.5 + 0.5), and her

   distance is longer than Samuel distance by 8 km

∴ Heather distance = x × 4 = 4x

- Subtract the distance of Samuel from the distance of Heather

   and equate the difference by 8

∵ 4x - (3x + 10.5) = 8

∴ 4x - 3x - 10.5 = 8

- Add the like terms in the left hand side

∴ 0.5x - 10.5 = 8

- Add 10.5 to both sides

∴ 0.5x = 18.5

- Divide both sides by 0.5

∴ x = 37

∵ x represents Heather's speed

∴ Heather's speed = 37 km/h

∵ x + 3 represents Samuel's speed

∴ Samuel's speed = 37 + 3 = 40 km/h

Samuel was going with 40 km/h and Heather was going with 37 km/h
