Step-by-step explanation:
When the calculations are repetitive using the same formula, it is convenient to put the formula into a spreadsheet and let it do the calculations.
That is what was done for the spreadsheet below. The formula used is the one given in the problem statement.
__
For doubling time, the formula used is the one shown in the formula bar in the attachment. (For problem 11, the quarterly value was used instead of the monthly value.) It makes use of the growth factor for the period used for the rest of the problem.
The doubling time is in years.
__
The doubling time can also be found using a graphing calculator. In the second attachment, we have written a function that shows the multiplier for a given interest rate r and compounding n. The x-intercept in each case is the solution for t that makes the multiplier be 2. The steeper curve is associated with the higher interest rate.
Answer:
20 mph and 4 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
GIVEN: A boat travels upstream for miles in
hours and returns in
hours traveling downstream in a river.
TO FIND: What is the rate of the boat in still water and the rate of the current.
SOLUTION:
Let the speed of boat in still water be and speed of current be
.
speed of water in upstream
speed of water in downstream
As
Solving both we get
Hence speed of boat in still water and rate of current is 20mph and 4mph respectively.
