Answer:
"To the nearest year, it would be about 9 years"
Step-by-step explanation:
11c)
This is compound growth problem. It goes by the formula:
Where
F is the future amount
P is the present (initial) amount
r is the rate of growth, in decimal
t is the time in years
Given,
P = 20,000
r = 8% = 8/100 = 0.08
F = double of initial amount = 2 * 20,000 = 40,000
We need to find t:
To solve exponentials, we can take Natural Log (Ln) of both sides:
Using the rule shown below we can simplify and solve:
We can write:
To the nearest year, that would be about 9 years
Answer:
y=-\frac{5}{3} x+\frac{10}{3} or what is the same:
Step-by-step explanation:
First we find the slope of the line that goes through the points (-4,10) and (-1,5) using the slope formula:
Now we use this slope in the general form of the slope- y_intercept of a line:
We can determine the parameter "b" by requesting the condition that the line has to go through the given points, and we can use one of them to solve for "b" (for example requesting that the point (-1,5) is on the line:
Therefore, the equation of the line in slope y_intercept form is:
Notice that this equation can also be written in an equivalent form by multiplying both sides of the equal sign by "3", which allows us to write it without denominators:
