Answer:

The capital will first exceed RM 10 000 after 12 complete years.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a compound interest problem.

The compound interest formula is given by:

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

Where A is the amount of money, P is the principal(the initial sum of money), r is the interest rate(as a decimal value), n is the number of times that interest is compounded per unit t and t is the time the money is invested or borrowed for.

In this exercise, we have:

So, for our problem, we have:

We first want to find t, when A = 10,000, given that P = 5,000, n = 1 and r = 0.06.

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

10,000 = 5,000(1 + \frac{0.06}{1})^{t}

1.06^{t} = 2

Now we apply log to both sides. Important to remember the following proprierty:

\log{a^{b}} = b\log{a}

\log{1.06^{t}} = \log{2}

t\log{1.06} = \log{2}

t = \frac{\log{2}}{\log{1.06}}

t = 11.9

11.9 years is 11 years and some 330 days. The next complete year will be the 12th year.

The capital will first exceed RM 10 000 after 12 complete years.

Bruce has a rope that is 21 feet long he needs to cut the rope into 1/5 long peices. How many strips can Bruce cut from his rope
dybincka [34]

Bruce has a rope that is 21 feet long he needs to cut the rope into 1/5 long pieces.

The length of the rope = 21 feet

the length of each strip = \frac{1}{5}

We need to cut the rope 21 feet into \frac{1}{5} strips

To find the number of strips we divide 21 feet by the length of the strip

\frac{21}{\frac{1}{5}} = 21 * \frac{5}{1} = 105

105 strips can Bruce cut from his rope.

SOMEONE HELP ME PLS<br><br> Solve for x.
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

X equals 6°.

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a geometry rule that states the outer angle of a triangle's interior angle is equivalent to the sum of the remaining two interior angles of the triangle. Following this rule, you can get that (6x + 8) + (5x + 8) = 82° ⇒ 11x + 16 = 82° ⇒ 11x = 66° ⇒ x = 6°.

Use the drawing tools to form the correct answers on the grid.
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

The function f(x)= \frac{1}{x^2+2} is continuous for all real numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

To know the possible points of discontinuity of this function, we must find out when the denominator of the function is equal to 0.

The denominator is:

x ^ 2 + 2

Then we equal 0 and clear x

x ^ 2 +2 = 0\\\\x ^ 2 = -2

x ^ 2> 0 for any real number.

This means that

x ^ 2 +2> 0 <em>for all reals numbers</em>.

Therefore, the function f(x)= \frac{1}{x^2+2} is <em>continuous</em> for all real numbers, that is, it does not have discontinuities.
