Answer:

13.6 years

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question;

  • Money invested (Principal) is 7500 dollars
  • Rate of interest is 4% compounded annually
  • Amount, (money accrued ) is 12800 dollars

We are needed to determine the time it took for the money to reach the given amount;

  • To solve the question we need to know the compound interest formula, that is;

A=P(1-\frac{r}{100})^n

Where n is the interest periods;

  • Therefore, substituting the variables with the corresponding values, we can determine n.

Therefore;

12800=7500(1-\frac{4}{100})^n

Dividing both sides by 7500, we get;

1.7067=(1-\frac{4}{100})^n

1.7067=(1.04)^n

Introducing logarithms on both sides;

log1.7067=log(1.04)^n\\nlog1.04=log1.7067\\n=\frac{log1.7067}{log1.04} \\n=13.63

Thus, n=13.6 years

Thus, it would take 13.6 years for the invested money to accumulate to 12800 dollars

Explicit equation for the sequence
Jlenok [28]

Step-by-step explanation:

when we get the common ratio that  must be equal

r=6/2=18/6=54/18=3    equal

So it is geometric

By using this equation:

a(n)=a(1)*r^(n-1)

and we have a(1)=2 , r=3    

Explicit rule: a(n)=2*(3)^(n-1)

hope this helps

1.6 × 10^6 ÷ 4.8 × 10^5. Give your answer as a mixed number​
Tasya [4]

Answer:

(10^11)/3

10^6 x 10^5 = 10^11

8/5 x 5/24 = 1/3

so multiply 10^11 and 1/3 together

Which equation shows the quadratic formula used correctly to solve 5x2 + 3x – 4 = 0 for x? x = StartFraction negative 3 plus-or-
Brrunno [24]

Answer: FIRST OPTION

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3> The missing picture is attached.</h3>

By definition, given a Quadratic equation in the form:

ax^2+bx+c=0

Where "a", "b" and "c" are numerical coefficients and "x" is the unknown variable, you caN use the Quadratic Formula to solve it.

The Quadratic Formula is the following:

x=\frac{-b \±\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}

In this case, the exercise gives you this Quadratic equation:

5x^2 + 3x - 4 = 0

You can identify that the numerical coefficients are:

a=5\\\\b=3\\\\c= - 4

Therefore, you can substitute values into the Quadratic formula shown above:

x=\frac{-b \±\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}\\\\x=\frac{-3 \±\sqrt{(3)^2-4(5)(-4)} }{2(5)}

You can identify that the equation that shows the Quadratic formula used correctly to solve the Quadratic equation given in the exercise for "x", is the one shown in the First option.
