Hello! $800 was the past amount for rent and now it's $900. 900 - 800 is 100. that's a $100 difference. In order to find the percent increase in the rent, we can write and sovle a proportion. It would be set up as change/original = x/100, where change is difference between two numbers and original is the previous price. It would be set up like this:

100/800 = x/100

Let's crossmultiply the values. 100 * 100 is 10,000. 800 * x is 800x. That makes 10,000 = 800x. Now, divide each side by 800 to isolate the x. 800x/800 cancels out. 10,000/800 is 12.5 or 12.5%. Let's check this by multiplying by 112.5%. 800 * 112.5% (1.125) is 900. That's what we're looking for! There. x = 12.5%. The percent increase is 12.5%.

900-800=100.. 100/800=.125 . 125x100=12.5%

Thomas invests $50,000 in an account that compounds interest continuously and earns 15%. How long will it take for his money to
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

It will take about 7.3 years for his money to triple.

Step-by-step explanation:

Identify the variables in the formula.

A = 150,000

P = 50,000

r = 0.15

t = ?

A = Pe^rt

Substitute the values into the formula.

150,000 = 50,000e^0.15*t

Solve for t. Divide each side by 50,000.

3 = e^0.15*t

Take the natural log of each side.

ln 3 = ln e^0.15*t

Use the power property and then simplify.  

ln 3 = 0.15*t ln e

ln 3 = 0.15-t

Divide each side by 0.15.

(ln 3) /(0.15) = t

Approximate the answer.

t ≈ 7.3

Grace deposits $1000 in a mutual fund earning 9.25% annual interest, compounded monthly. Write an exponential function that mode
Serggg [28]

First, we calculate for the effective interest given the annual interest and the condition that it is compounded monthly.

<span>                                                Ieff = (1 + 0.0925/12)^12 – 1 = 0.09652</span>

The equation that would best represent the value of Grace’s money after x years is equal to,

<span>                                               An = ($1000)(1.09652)^x</span>

<span>Where x is the number of years</span>

(4x^5-15x^3-10x^2)-(2x^5-5x^3-2x^2)

So, the first thing we will do is add like terms. But before that, lets get rid of both parenthesis. We'll just get rid of the first pair, and for the second pair, we will multiple everything in the second parenthesis by -1

4x^5-15x^3-10x^2-2x^5+5x^3+2x^2

Now, we will add like terms.

2x^5-10x^3-8x^2

Now, there's a common factor that all of these terms share; it's 2x^2. 2x^5 can be divided by 2, as well as -10x^3 and -8x^2 (these are the coefficients, number found in front of the variable.) So, we'll distribute 2

2x^2(x^3-5x-4)    (we take the 2x^2 out by dividing all terms by 2x^2)

So, our answer would be

2x^2
