Answer:

415.63 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Growth can be represented by the equation A=A_0e^{rt}. We can find the rate at which it grows by using t=25 minutes and \frac{A_{0}}{A} =2 or double the amount at that time. The first step we always take is to divide A_0 by A.

[tex]\frac{A_{0}}{A}=e^{rt}\\2=e^{r(25)}

2=e^{(25)r}

To solve for r, we will take the natural log of both sides and use log rules to isolate r.

ln 2=ln e^{(25)r}\\ln 2=25r (ln e)\\\frac{ln2}{25} =r

We know lne=1 so we were able to cancel it out and divide both sides by 25.

We solve with a calculator \frac{ln2}{25} =r\\0.0277=r

We change 0.0277 into a percent by multiplying by 100 to get 2.77% as the rate.

The equation is A=A_0e^{0.0277t} .

We repeat the step above substituting A=5,000,000, A_0=50, and r=0.02777. Then solve for t.

5000000=50e^{0.0277t}\\\frac{5000000}{50} =e^{0.0277t}\\100000=e^{0.0277t}\\ln100000=lne^{0.0277t}\\ln100000=0.02777t(lne)\\\frac{ln100000}{0.0277} =t

t=415.63 minutes

In ΔUVW, w = 3 inches, ∠W=23° and ∠U=73°. Find the length of u, to the nearest 10th of an inch.
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

<h2>7.4inches</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Check the attachment for the diagram. Sine rule will be used to get the unknown side of the triangle.

According to the rule;

\frac{u}{sinU} =  \frac{v}{sinV} = \frac{w}{sinW}\\\frac{u}{sinU} = \frac{w}{sinW}

Given w = 3 in, ∠W=23° and ∠U=73°, on substituting into the equation above to get u we have;

\frac{u}{sin73^{0} } = \frac{3}{sin23^{0} }\\usin23^{0} = 3sin73^{0}\\u = \frac{3sin73^{0} }{sin23^{0} }\\u = \frac{2.87}{0.39} \\u = 7.358\\u = 7.4in

The length of u is 7.4inches to nearest 10th of an inch

A machine is designed to fill 16-ounce bottles of shampoo. When the machine is working properly, the amount poured into the bott
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

Between 15.95 ounces and 16.15 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following value m, being the mean, sd, being the standard deviation and n, the sample size:

m = 16.05

sd = 0.1005

n = 4

We apply the formula of this case, which would be:

m + - 2 * sd / (n ^ 1/2)

In this way we create a range, replacing we have:

16.05 + 2 * 0.1005 / (4 ^ 1/2) = 16.1505

16.05 - 2 * 0.1005 / (4 ^ 1/2) = 15.9495

Which means that 95% of all samples are between 15.95 ounces and 16.15 ounces.

how much money will you have in 10 years if you invest $12,000 at a 3.3% annual rate of interest compounded quarterly?
Andrej [43]

Answer:

The amount is $16718.7 and the interest is $4718.7.

Step-by-step explanation:

STEP 1: To find amount we use formula:

A=P(1+rn)n⋅t

A = total amount

P = principal or amount of money deposited,

r = annual interest rate

n = number of times compounded per year

t = time in years

In this example we have

P=$12000 , r=3.33% , n=4 and t=10 years

After plugging the given information we have

AAAA=12000(1+0.03334)4⋅10=12000⋅1.00832540=12000⋅1.393225=16718.7

STEP 2: To find interest we use formula A=P+I, since A=16718.7 and P = 12000 we have:

A16718.7II=P+I=12000+I=16718.7−12000=4718.7

Which expression is equivalent to log3(x + 4)?
dangina [55]

Answer:

log[3(x+4)] is equal to log(3) + log(x + 4), which corresponds to choice number three.

Step-by-step explanation:

By the logarithm product rule, for two nonzero numbers a and b,

\log{(a \cdot b)} = \log{(a)} + \log{(b)}.

Keep in mind that a logarithm can be split into two only if the logarithm contains the product or quotient of two numbers.

For example, 3(x + 4) is the number in the logarithm \log{[3(x + 4)]}. Since 3(x + 4) is a product of the two numbers 3 and (x + 4), the logarithm \log{[3(x + 4)]} can be split into two. By the logarithm product rule,

\log{[3(x + 4)]} = \log{(3)} + \log{(x + 4)}.

However, \log{(x + 4)} cannot be split into two since the number inside of it is a sum rather than a product. Hence choice number three is the answer to this question.
