FIRST MODEL: 

Well the model for the value of the house is:

V={ \left( \frac { 11 }{ 10 }  \right)  }^{ t }\cdot 120000

V = Value

t = Years passed {t≥0}

-----------------------

When t=0, V=120000

When t=1, V=132000

When t=2, V=145200

etc... etc...

---------------------------

Now, this model is actually curved so there is no constant rate of growth each month. We can only calculate what the rate of growth is at a particular time. If we want to find out the rate of growth at a particular time, we must differentiate the formula (model) above.

--------------------------

V={ \left( \frac { 11 }{ 10 }  \right)  }^{ t }\cdot 120000\\ \\ \ln { V=\ln { \left( { \left( \frac { 11 }{ 10 }  \right)  }^{ t }\cdot 120000 \right)  }  }

\\ \\ \ln { V=\ln { \left( { \left( \frac { 11 }{ 10 }  \right)  }^{ t } \right)  }  } +\ln { \left( 120000 \right)  } \\ \\ \ln { V=t\ln { \left( \frac { 11 }{ 10 }  \right)  }  } +\ln { \left( 120000 \right)  }

\\ \\ \frac { 1 }{ V } \cdot \frac { dV }{ dt } =\ln { \left( \frac { 11 }{ 10 }  \right)  } \\ \\ V\cdot \frac { 1 }{ V } \cdot \frac { dV }{ dt } =\ln { \left( \frac { 11 }{ 10 }  \right)  } \cdot V

\\ \\ \therefore \quad \frac { dV }{ dt } =\ln { \left( \frac { 11 }{ 10 }  \right)  } \cdot { \left( \frac { 11 }{ 10 }  \right)  }^{ t }\cdot 120000

Plug any value of (t) that is greater than 0 into the formula above to find out how quickly the investment is growing. If you want to find out how quickly the investment was growing after 1 month had passed, transform t into 1/12.

The rate of growth is being measured in years, not months. So when t=1/12, the rate of growth turns out to be 11528.42 per annum.

SECOND MODEL (What you are ultimately looking for):

V={ \left( \frac { 11 }{ 10 }  \right)  }^{ \frac { t }{ 12 }  }\cdot 120000

V = Value of house

t = months that have gone by {t≥0}

Formula above differentiated:

V={ \left( \frac { 11 }{ 10 }  \right)  }^{ \frac { t }{ 12 }  }\cdot 120000\\ \\ \ln { V } =\ln { \left( { \left( \frac { 11 }{ 10 }  \right)  }^{ \frac { t }{ 12 }  }\cdot 120000 \right)  }

\\ \\ \ln { V=\ln { \left( { \left( \frac { 11 }{ 10 }  \right)  }^{ \frac { t }{ 12 }  } \right)  }  } +\ln { \left( 120000 \right)  }

\\ \\ \ln { V=\frac { t }{ 12 }  } \ln { \left( \frac { 11 }{ 10 }  \right)  } +\ln { \left( 120000 \right)  }

\\ \\ \frac { 1 }{ V } \cdot \frac { dV }{ dt } =\frac { 1 }{ 12 } \ln { \left( \frac { 11 }{ 10 }  \right)  }

\\ \\ V\cdot \frac { 1 }{ V } \cdot \frac { dV }{ dt } =\frac { 1 }{ 12 } \ln { \left( \frac { 11 }{ 10 }  \right)  } \cdot V

\\ \\ \therefore \quad \frac { dV }{ dt } =\frac { 1 }{ 12 } \ln { \left( \frac { 11 }{ 10 }  \right)  } \cdot { \left( \frac { 11 }{ 10 }  \right)  }^{ \frac { t }{ 12 }  }\cdot 120000

When t=1, dV/dt = 960.70 (2dp)

dV/dt in this case will measure the rate of growth monthly. As more money is accumulated, this rate of growth will rise. The rate of growth is constantly increasing as the graph of V is actually a curve. You can only find out the rate at which the house value is growing monthly at a particular time.

frutty [35]

Answer:

x = 3, y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure attached,

If ΔADE and ΔABC are similar triangles, their corresponding sides will be in the same ratio.

By this property,

\frac{AB}{AD}=\frac{AC}{AE}=\frac{BC}{DE}

\frac{AB}{AD}=\frac{AC}{AE}

\frac{AD+BD}{AD}=\frac{AE+EC}{AE}

\frac{3}{2}=\frac{x+1.5}{x}

3x = 2x + 3

3x - 2x = 3

x = 3

Similarly, \frac{AB}{AD}=\frac{BC}{DE}

\frac{3}{2}=\frac{y}{4}

y = \frac{3\times 4}{2}

y = 6

Which of the following functions gives the radius, r(v), of a conical artifact that is 20 inches tall as a function of its volum
nalin [4]
By calculus or elementary geometry, we know that the formula for the volume of a cone, given pi (the constant), its height h and its radius r is:
V=pi*h*r^2/3
Lets solve this relation for the radius:
3V=pi*h*r^2

\frac{3V}{pi*h} =r^2
\sqrt{\frac{3V}{pi*h}} = r
Now we have found a general formula that gives us the radius of a cone, given its volume and height. We need only substitute height (20in) and pi=3.14 to get the numerical equation: r=0.2185*\sqrt{V}
