Change the 30% into a decimal
so its .3
then multiply 2075/.3
and you get $622.50

What is the slope ( 6, 5 ) and ( -6,9 )

Ronch [10]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{slope=-\dfrac{1}{3}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a slope:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

(x₁, y₁), (x₂, y₂) - points on a line

We have the points

(6, 5) → x₁ = 6, y₁ = 5

(-6, 9) → x₂ = -6, y₂ = 9

Substitute:

$m=\dfrac{9-5}{-6-6}=\dfrac{4}{-12}=-\dfrac{4:4}{12:4}=-\dfrac{1}{3}$

Ted invests $8,310 in a savings account with a fixed annual interest rate of 2% compounded continuously. How long will it take f

Vsevolod [243]

Answer: It will take 8 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation for interest compounded continuously:

$A=Pe^{rt}$ , A = accumulated amount , P=Principal value , r =rate of interest , t= time.

Given: P= $8,310 , r = 2% , A= $9,751.88

$9751.88=8310e^{0.02t}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{9751.88}{8310}=e^{0.02t}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.17351143201=e^{0.02t}$

Taking natural log on both sides

$\ln (1.17351143201)=\ln (e^{0.02t})\\\\\Rightarrow\ 0.160000478068=0.02t\\\\\Rightarrow\ t=\dfrac{0.160000478068}{0.02}\\\\\Rightarrow\ t=8.0000239034\approx8$

Hence, it will take 8 years.
