In order to figure out when the investment will double, we only need to look at the interest rate. The equation to use to find when the investment has doubled is years = ln(2)/ln(1+interest rate), where “ln” is the natural log, and the interest rate is 0.065. Years = ln(2) / ln(1.065) Years = 11.007 = 11.0 years Alternatively, If we want to approximate with the “rule of 72”, (which is a faster, slightly less approximate method), we just divide 72 by the interest rate percentage: Years = 72/6.5 = 11.077 = 11.1 years Alternativley, If we want to approximate with the “rule of 72”, (which is a faster, slightly less approximate method), we just divide 72 by the interest rate percentage: Years = 72/6.5 = 11.077 = 11.1 years

Answer:

1. 10.7 years

2. 17.0 years

3. 2nd option

Step-by-step explanation:

Use formula for compounded interest

A=P\cdot \left(1+\dfrac{r}{n}\right)^{nt},

where

A is final value, P is initial value, r is interest rate (as decimal), n is number of periods and t is number of years.

In your case,

1. P=$5745, A=2P=$11490, n=12 (compounded monthly), r=0.065 (6.5%) and t is unknown. Then

11490=5745\cdot \left(1+\dfrac{0.065}{12}\right)^{12t},\\ \\2=(1.0054)^{12t},\\ \\12t=\log_{1.0054}2,\\ \\t=\dfrac{1}{12}\log_ {1.0054}2\approx 10.7\ years.

2. P=$5745, A=3P=$17235, n=12 (compounded monthly), r=0.065 (6.5%) and t is unknown. Then


17235=5745\cdot \left(1+\dfrac{0.065}{12}\right)^{12t},

3=(1.0054)^{12t},

12t=\log_{1.0054}3,

t=\dfrac{1}{12}\log_{1.0054}3\approx 17.0\ years.

3. <u>1 choice:</u> P=$5745, n=12 (compounded monthly), r=0.065 (6.5%), t=5 years and A is unknown. Then

A=5745\cdot \left(1+\dfrac{0.065}{12}\right)^{12\cdot 5},\\ \\A=5745\cdot (1.0054)^{60}\approx \$7936.39.

<u>2 choice:</u> P=$5745, n=4 (compounded monthly), r=0.0675 (6.75%), t=5 years and A is unknown. Then

A=5745\cdot \left(1+\dfrac{0.0675}{4}\right)^{4\cdot 5},\\ \\A=5745\cdot (1.0169)^{20}\approx \$8032.58.

The best will be 2nd option, because $8032.58>$7936.39

Answer:

Following are the answer to this question:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, In the Bth place there are 8 values.

In point a:

There is no case, where it generally manages its next groom is = 7 and it will be arranged in the 2, that can be arranged in 2! ways. So, the total number of ways are: \to 7 \times 2= 14\\\\ \{(1,2),(2,1),(2,3),(3,2),(3,4),(4,3),(4,5),(5,4),(5,6),(6,5),(6,7),(7,8),(8,7),(7,6)\}\\\therefore required probability:

= \frac{14}{8!}\\\\= \frac{14}{8\times7 \times6 \times 5 \times  4 \times 3\times 2 \times 1 }\\\\= \frac{1}{8\times6 \times5 \times 4 \times 3}\\\\= \frac{1}{8\times6 \times5 \times 4 \times 3}\\\\=\frac{1}{2880}\\\\=0.00034

In point b:

Calculating the leftmost position:

\to \frac{7!}{8!}\\\\\to \frac{7!}{8 \times 7!}\\\\\to \frac{1}{8}\\\\\to 0.125

In point c:

This option is false because

\to P(A \cap B) \neq P(A) \times P(B)\\\\\to \frac{12}{8!} \neq \frac{14}{8!}\times \frac{1}{8}\\\\\to \frac{12}{8!} \neq \frac{7}{8!}\times \frac{1}{4}\\\\

There are 3 ladies for every 2 men qt a party if there are 40 men at the party how many ladies are at the party . show your work
Lynna [10]
Ok so the constant is 3:2 so if we do x for women then it would be x:40. To find x we do 40/2 which is 20 so then you multiply 20 to 3 to get the amount of women for every 40 men which is 60 women
B)60
40:60

What is the area of the trapezoid to the nearest tenth? <br> PICTURE BELOW ⬇⬇⬇⬇
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

  62.4 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The unmarked horizontal dimension at the bottom of the triangle is ...

  (8 ft)sin(30°) = 4 ft

The unmarked vertical dimension of the triangle (the height of the trapezoid) is ...

  (8 ft)cos(30°) ≈ 6.93 ft

Then the area of the trapezoid is given by the formula ...

  A = (1/2)(b1 +b2)h

  A = (1/2)((4 ft+7 ft) +(7 ft))(6.93 ft) ≈ 62.4 ft²

_____

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA can remind you of the relationships between right triangle dimensions and angles.

  Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse   ⇒   Hypotenuse×Sin = Opposite

  Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse   ⇒   Hypotenuse×Cos = Adjacent
