Use the given values in the compound interest formula to solve for time, n.
A is the final amount of money, $2800
P is the initial or starting amount $1900
i is the interest rate as a decimal 0.025
n is time in years since it annual.
2800 = 1900(1 + 0.025)^n
2800 = 1900(1.025)^n
2800/1900 = (1.025)^n
28/19 = (1.025)^n
take the natural log of both sides to solve for exponent.
ln(28/19) = ln(1.025^n)
power rule of logarithmic moves exponent
ln(28/19) = n*ln(1.025)
ln(28/19) / ln(1.025) = n
put into a calculator
15.7 years = n
<u>Question 1</u>
If we let 
, then 
.
Also, as 
bisects 
, this means 
.
Thus, by the intersecting chords theorem,
However, as distance must be positive, we only consider the positive case, meaning FE=9
<u>Question 2</u>
If we let CE=x, then because AB bisects CD, CE=ED=x.
We also know that since FB=17, the radius of the circle is 17. So, this means that the diameter is 34, and as AE=2, thus means EB=32.
By the intersecting chords theorem,
However, as distance must be positive, we only consider the positive case, meaning CE=8
2x^2 - quadratic - monomial
-2 - constant - monomial
3x - 9 - linear - binomial
-3x^2 - 6x + 9 - quadratic - trinomial
12%
40% = 0.4
30 = 0.3
0.3 x 0.4 = 0.12
0.12 = 12%
