Solution:

Two rows of tapes will fit in the box.

Box wide = 10 inches

Each tape wide = 5/8 inches

10/ (5/8) = (10 * 8)/5

= 16

There are two in each row. So, 32 tapes will fit in the box.

If a/b < c/d with b > 0, d > 0, prove that a+c / b+d lies between the two fractions a/b and c/d .

Tems11 [23]

Divide through everything by <em>b</em> :

$\dfrac{a+c}{b+d} = \dfrac{\dfrac ab + \dfrac cb}{1 + \dfrac db}$

Since <em>a/b</em> < <em>c/d</em>, it follows that

$\dfrac{a+c}{b+d} < \dfrac{\dfrac cd+\dfrac cb}{1 + \dfrac db}$

Multiply through everything on the right side by <em>b/d</em> to get

$\dfrac{a+c}{b+d} < \dfrac{\dfrac{bc}{d^2}+\dfrac cd}{\dfrac bd+1} = \dfrac{\dfrac cd\left(\dfrac bd+1\right)}{\dfrac bd+1} = \dfrac cd$

and so (<em>a</em> + <em>c</em>)/(<em>b</em> + <em>d</em>) < <em>c/d</em>.

For the other side, you can do something similar and divide through everything by <em>d</em> :

$\dfrac{a+c}{b+d} = \dfrac{\dfrac ad + \dfrac cd}{\dfrac bd + 1}$

and <em>a/b</em> < <em>c/d</em> tells us that

$\dfrac{a+c}{b+d} > \dfrac{\dfrac ad + \dfrac ab}{\dfrac bd + 1}$

Then

$\dfrac{a+c}{b+d} > \dfrac{\dfrac ab + \dfrac{ad}{b^2}}{1 + \dfrac db} = \dfrac{\dfrac ab\left(1+\dfrac db\right)}{1 + \dfrac db} = \dfrac ab$

and so (<em>a</em> + <em>c</em>)/(<em>b</em> + <em>d</em>) > <em>a/b</em>.

Then together we get the desired inequality.

Priscilla invests $10,000 in an account that compounds interest continuously and earns 11%. How long will it take for her money

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When the interest compounds continuously, our formula is

$A(t)=Pe^{rt}$

If we start with 10000 and are looking for how long, t, it takes to double, we are looking for how long it will take for our account to have 2 times 10000. That's 20000. Therefore, our equation is

$20000=10000e^{.11t}$

Divide both sides by 10000 to get

$2=e^{.11t}$

Take the natural log of both sides to "undo" that e:

$ln(2)=ln(e^{.11t})$

Again, since ln and e undo each other what we have now is

ln(2) = .11t and

$\frac{ln(2)}{.11}=t$ so

t = 6.3 years
