If you invest $100 into an account that earns 9% interest each year, how many years will it take for you to have $200?

1 answer:

8 0

It does not say simple or compound interest.
Simple interest is rarely used these days, so assume compound.
Use the standard formula:
future value = present value*(1+rate/n)^(nt)
n=number of times interest is compounded per year (=1)
t=number of years
Plugging values,
200=100(1.09)^t
1.09^t = 2
take log
t(log(1.09))=log 2
t=log(2)/log(1.09)=0.6931/0.08618=8.04 years.

Answer:

b, e

Step-by-step explanation:

a, b) ordinarily, we claim the variable on the vertical axis is a function of the variable on the horizontal axis. By that claim, <em>temperature is a function of time</em>.

If the graph passed the horizontal line test (a horizontal line intersects in one place), then we could also say time is a function of temperature. The graph does not pass that test, so we cannot make that claim.

c) The graph has negative slope between 4:00 and 5:00. Temperature is decreasing in that interval, not increasing.

d) The graph has two intervals in which it is horizontal: 5:00-9:00 and 11:00-12:00. In those intervals it is neither increasing nor decreasing.

e) The graph shows a minimum in the interval 11:00-12:00. <em>The lowest temperature first occurs at 11:00</em>.

if 368 teenagers in a population of 4,310 report that they have smoked at least one cigarette during the past year, to one decim

allochka39001 [22]

Divide the amount of teenagers that smoked by the total population:

$368 \div 4310 = 0.0853$

Multiply this decimal by 100 to convert into a percentage:

$0.0853 \times 100 = 8.53$

To round to the nearest decimal place, look at the hundredths value:

8.53
3 > 5
8.53 -> 8.5

8.5% of teenagers reported that they smoked at least one cigarette.
