Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have an amount in the future of 750, we are going to use Future value formula; FV = PV (1+r)^t

where PV= Initial amount deposited

r= interest rate or discount rate

t = total duration of the investment

FV= 750

PV=500

r = 2.5% or 0.025 as a decimal

t = ?

Next, plug in the numbers into the formula;

750 = 500* (1+0.025)^t

divide both sides by 500;

750/500 = 1.025^t

Introduce <em>ln</em> on both sides

ln 1.5 = ln 1.025^{t}

ln 1.5 = t ln 1.025

0.4054651 = 0.0246926 t

Divide both sides by 0.0246926 to solve for t;

0.4054651/0.0246926 = t

t = 16.42

Therefore it will take 16.42 years

Write an equation of a line that passes through (5,
enyata [817]

Answer:

y = 1/5x - 11

Step-by-step explanation:

perpendicular to a line means we flip the slope to opposite of what it is

in other wrds, since your slope is -5, your new slope for the line perpendicular to it would be 1/5.

Now we just use the same equation to find the y-intercept, which is b.

y = mx + b; m is your slope and b is your y intercept.

use the points given; (5, -10).

-10 = 1/5(5) + b

-10 = 1 + b

-11 = b

now put your equation together since you have all the pieces

y = 1/5x - 11
