A sum of money is invested at 12% compounded quarterly. About how long will it take for the amount of money to double?

Answer:Follow the given formula.  The initial amount of money invested, P, becomes 2P (same thing as "doubles) after t years.  Since compounding is quarterly, n=4.  The annual interest rate is 12%.  That is, r=0.12.

Then we have 2P = P (1 + 0.12/4)^(4t) and need only solve for time, t.

Simplifying the above equation:  2 = (1.03)^(4t)

We must isolate 4t, and then isolate t.  To do this, take the common log of both sides of the above equation.  We get:

log 2 = (4t) log 1.03.  This gives us 4t = [log 2] / [log 1.03], or

4t =  23.4498

Dividing both sides by 4, we get     t = 5.86 (years).

Only the last two options are true.

The first one is false, because 4.5 is the value of the maximum of f(x), not the point where it is reached.

The second one is false, because g(x) has a maximum of 9, so it is a downward-facing parabola (just like f(x)), so it doesn't have a minimum.

The third one is true, because the maximum value of f(x) is 4.5, and the maximum value of g(x) is 9, which is twice the maximum of f(x)

The last one is false (see point 2).
