Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let amount now be x , meaning principal is x

and the amount later A is 2x

A = P(1+r/n)^nt

n = 12

2x = x (1 + 0.06/12)^12t

divide through by x

2 = (1+ 0.005)^12t

2 = (1.005)^12t

Take log of both sides

log 2 = 12t log 1.005

12t = log2/log 1.005

12t = 138.975721610697

t = 138.975721610697/12

t = 11.58

t = 12 years

Does the function satisfy the hypotheses of the Mean Value Theorem on the given interval? f(x) = e−4x, [0, 2] Yes, it does not m

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

(a) Yes, it does not matter if f is continuous or differentiable; every function satisfies the Mean Value Theorem.

(b) $c =0.51995$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$f(x) = e^{-4x};\ [0,2]$

Solving (a); Does the function satisfy M.V.T on the given interval

We have:

$f(x) = e^{-4x};\ [0,2]$

The above function is an exponential function, and it is differentiable and continuous everywhere

Solving (b): The value of c

To do this, we use:

$f'(c) = \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}$

In this case:

$[a,b] = [0,2]$

So, we have:

$f'(c) = \frac{f(2) - f(0)}{2 - 0}$

$f'(c) = \frac{f(2) - f(0)}{2}$

Calculate f(2) and f(0)

$f(x) = e^{-4x}$

So:

$f(2) = e^{-4*2} = e^{-8} = 0.00033546262$

$f(0) = e^{-4*0} = e^{0} = 1$

This gives:

$f'(c) = \frac{0.00033546262 - 1}{2}$

$f'(c) = \frac{-0.99966453738}{2}$

$f'(c) = -0.4998$

Note that:

$f'(x) = (e^{-4x})'$

$f'(x) = -4e^{-4x}$

This implies that:

$f'(c) = -4e^{-4c}$

So, we have:

$f'(c) = -0.4998$

$-4e^{-4c} =-0.4998$

Divide both sides by -4

$e^{-4c} =\frac{-0.4998}{-4}$

$e^{-4c} =0.12495$

Take natural logarithm of both sides

$\ln(e^{-4c}) =\ln(0.12495)$

$\ln(e^{-4c}) =-2.0798$

Apply law of natural logarithm

$\ln(e^{ax}) =ax$

So:

$-4c =-2.0798$

Solve for c

$c =\frac{-2.0798}{-4}$

$c =0.51995$

There are 8 circles and 6 squares. what is the simplest ratio of squares to circles?

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

4:3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function:

8 circle by 6 squares

Divide similar factor by each term:

$8=4$ · $2$
$6=3$ · $2$

Rewrite:

$4:3$

Therefore, the simplest ratio for 8 circles and 6 squares would be 4:3..

X = 3 - y

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

x = 3 - y → (1)

5x - 12 = y → (2)

Substitute x = 3 - y into (2)

5(3 - y) - 12 = y ← distribute and simplify left side

15 - 5y - 12 = y

3 - 5y = y ( add 5y to both sides )

3 = 6y ( divide both sides by 6 )

$\frac{3}{6}$ = y, that is

y = 0.5 → A
