A = P(1+RT)
A (Future) = 2000(2) = 4000
P (Principal) = 2000
R (Rate) = 8% =.08
T (Time) = Unknown

Create the equation:
4000 = 2000(1+.08t)

Distribute the 2000:
4000 = 2000 + 2000(.08t)

Multiply the 2000(.08t):
4000 = 2000 + 160t

Subtract the 2000 from both sides:
2000 = 160t

Divide by 160:
12.5

Answer:
It will take 12.5 years (12 years and 6 months) to double the 2000 to double.

8. Lisa types 6 pages in 36 minutes. Frank types 5 pages in 30 minutes. Do they type at the same rate? Use a proportion to expla
qaws [65]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Lisa and Frank type at the same rate.

They both type 1 page every six minutes.

Lisa types 6 pages every 36 minutes, and if we divide the minutes by the pages, we get

\frac{36}{6} = 6

And Frank types 5 pages ever 30 minutes, when we divide we get

\frac{30}{5} = 6

inna [77]
<span>a. The radius of earth is about 6400 kilometers. Find the circumference of a great circle.

Circumference = 2π(radius) = 2π(6400 km) = 40.212,39 km

b. Write an equation for the circumference of any latitude circle with angle theta

As stated, </span><span><span>the length of any parallel of latitude (this is the circumference of corresponding circle) is equal to the circumference of a great circle of Earth times the cosine of the latitude angle</span>:

=> Circumference = 2π*radius* cos(Θ) = 2 π*6400km*cos(Θ) = 40,212.39 cos(Θ)

Answer: circumference = 40,212.39 cos(Θ) km

c. Which latitude circle has a circumference of about 3593 kilometers?

Make </span><span><span>40,212.39 cos(Θ)</span> km = 3593 km

=> cos(Θ) = 3593 / 40,212.39 = 0.08935 => Θ = arccos(0.08935) = 84.5° = 1.48 rad

Answer: 1.48

d. What is the circumference of the Equator? </span>

For the Equator Θ = 0°

=> circumference = 40,213.49cos(0°) km = 40,212.49 km

Answer: 40,212.49 km

Ian picked 5 times as many berries as Michelle.Joe picked 7 times as many berries Michelle.Together they picked 208 berries.How
Rasek [7]
Michelle: x
Ian: 5x
Joe: 7x
Michelle + Ian + Joe = 208 berries
x + 5x + 7x = 208
Combine like terms: 13x = 208
Divide both sides by 13: x = 16
Joe = 7x = 7*16=112
Joe picked 112 berries
