Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
A) The annual multiplier was 1.0339; the annual increase was 0.0339 of the value.
B) 3.39% per year
C) $182,000
Step-by-step explanation:
A) Let's let t represent years since 1987. Then we can fill in the numbers and solve for r.
165000 = 100000(1 +r)^15
1.65^(1/15) = 1 +r . . . . . divide by 100,000; take the 15th root
1.03394855265 -1 = r ≈ 0.0339
The value was multiplied by about 1.0339 each year.
__
B) The value increased by about 3.39% per year.
__
C) S = $100,000(1.03394855265)^18 ≈ $182,000
B inverse you swap x and y
Answer:
x = 17
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's turn this into an equation:
twenty more ( +20 ) than four times a number ( 4x ) is equal ( = ) to the difference ( - ) between 139 and 3 times the number ( 3x ).
4x + 20 = 139 - 3x
Now let's solve:
Subtract 20 from each side:
4x = 119 - 3x
Add 3x to each side:
7x = 119
Divide each side by 7:
x = 17
