Answer:

Let p be the number of pencils.

3(14-p)=30+p

42-3p=30+p

4p=12, p=3.

So Peter ends up with 33 and Tony with 11. 3*11=33, so that confirms that Tony gave Peter 3 pencils.

Brockman Corporation's earnings per share were $3.50 last year, and its growth rate during the prior 5 years was 7.0% per year.

fredd [130]

Answer:

The number of years it would take is $n = 2 \ years$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The earning per share is $P =$ $3.50

The growth rate is r = 7.0%

The duration is $t = 5 \ years$

Generally the future value is mathematically represented as

$A = P(1 + \frac{r}{100} )^n$

Where P is the present value

n is the time period

A is the future value which is mathematically evaluated as

$A = 3 * P$

substituting value

$A = 3 * 3.50$

$A =$ $ 10.5 0

$A = P(1 + \frac{r}{100} )^n$

$10.5 = 3.5(1 + \frac{7}{100} )^n$

$10.5 = 3.225^n$

Taking log of both sides

$log 10.5 = nlog 3.225$

$1.0212 = n(0.5085)$

$n = \frac{1.0212}{(0.5085)}$

$n = 2 \ years$

In a function, an input can have more than one output. True Or False ??

Fudgin [204]

False. For every x in the function's domain, f(x) describes the one single output.
