Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
570000/5.7 is 100000
100000 is 10^5
Find attached a graph that I constructed.
To do that graph I used Excel.
First I did a table with this set of points:
<span><span><span>height presuure
</span>
<span>
miles psi
</span>
<span>
0
14,7
</span>
<span>
<---- initial data
3.6 7.35
</span>
<span>
<--- increase hegiht 3.6 miles => half pressure
7.2
3.675
</span>
<span>
<---- second increase of 3.6 miles in height
10. 8
1.8375
</span>
<span>
<---- third increase of 3.6 miles in height
14.4
0.91875
</span>
<span>
18 0.459375
</span>
</span></span>
For this, we have to calculate how much money has to be invested at 2.3% interest compounded continuously to achieve $41,000 after 17 years
Formula: A= P * ( 1+r)^t
A= $41,000
r=0.023
t= 17
<span>41,000= P * (1+0.023)^17
</span>41,000= P * (1.023)^17
41,000= P * 1.4719
P= 41,000 : 1.4719
P= $27,731.59
Therefore, the answer is C. $27,731.59
I checked by doing the opposite, and I got $41,000.01, which is the closest to the question<span>
