Given:
P = $5338.18, principal
r = 5.9% = 0.059, interest rate
n = 2, nuber of compoundings per year
t = duraton, years
A = $10,000, target value.

Use the formula
$P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt} = A$

That is,
$5338.18(1 + \frac{0.59}{2})^{2t} =10000\\1.0295^{2t}=1.8773$
$t = \frac{1}{2} ( \frac{ln(1.8773)}{ln(1.0295)} )=10.832\, yrs\,=10yrs,\,10\,mo$

Answer: 10years, 10 months

Answer:

a

$n =290$

b

$n =129$

c

The correct option is D

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The margin of error is $E = 0.23$

The largest value is k = 15

The smallest value is u = 7

From the question we are told the confidence level is 95% , hence the level of significance is

$\alpha = (100 - 95 ) \%$

=> $\alpha = 0.05$

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value of $\frac{\alpha }{2}$ is

$Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.96$

Generally population standard deviation estimate is mathematically represented as

$\sigma = \frac{Range }{4}$

Here the Range is mathematically represented as

$Range = k - u$

=> $Range = 15 - 7$

=> $Range = 8$

=> $\sigma = \frac{8 }{4}$

=> $\sigma = 2$

Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as

$n = [\frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \sigma }{E} ] ^2$

=> $n = [1.96 * 2 }{0.23} ] ^2$

=> $n =290$

Generally to obtain a conservatively small sample size the population standard deviation estimate becomes

=> $\sigma = \frac{Range }{6}$

=> $\sigma = \frac{8 }{6}$

=> $\sigma =1.333$

Generally the conservatively small sample size is mathematically evaluated as

$n = [\frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \sigma }{E} ] ^2$

=> $n = [1.96 * 1.333 }{0.23} ] ^2$

=> $n =129$

20 points!! Pls help

Answer:

<h3>(-4, 1)</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

-x-3=y, therefore x = -y-3

-3x - 8y = 4

Find the value of y

Substitute the x in -3x - 8y = 4 with -y-3

We get

-3·(-y-3) - 8y = 4

3y + 9 - 8y = 4

-5y = 4-9

-5y = -5

<h3>y = 1</h3>

_______________

Find the value of x

x = -y-3

x = -1-3

<h3>x = -4</h3>

You have a credit card with a balance of 1187.92 and the interest is 12.25% apr. a late fee of 30.00 is charged for payments aft

Travka [436]

We start with
$1,187.92
With the interest and the late fee charge
$1,187.92 (1 + 0.1225/12) + 30 = $1,230.05
With the interest minus the payment of $125
$1,230.05 (1 + 0.1225/12) - $125 = $1,117.60

The new principal after the latest payment is $1,117.60.

For the equation ae^ct=d, solve for the variable t in terms of a,c, and d. Express your answer in terms of the natural logarithm

saveliy_v [14]

We have been given an equation $ae^{ct}=d$ . We are asked to solve the equation for t.

First of all, we will divide both sides of equation by a.

$\frac{ae^{ct}}{a}=\frac{d}{a}$

$e^{ct}=\frac{d}{a}$

Now we will take natural log on both sides.

$\text{ln}(e^{ct})=\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})$

Using natural log property $\text{ln}(a^b)=b\cdot \text{ln}(a)$ , we will get:

$ct\cdot \text{ln}(e)=\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})$

We know that $\text{ln}(e)=1$ , so we will get:

$ct\cdot 1=\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})$

$ct=\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})$

Now we will divide both sides by c as:

$\frac{ct}{c}=\frac{\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})}{c}$

$t=\frac{\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})}{c}$

Therefore, our solution would be $t=\frac{\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})}{c}$ .
