Answer:
19.8%
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the following formula for continuous compound interest:
A = P * e ^ (i * t)
Where:
A is the final value
P is the initial investment
i is the interest rate in decimal
t is time.
The time can be calculated as follows:
25 - 18 = 7
That is, the time corresponds to 7 years. In addition, A is 20,000 for A and P would be 5,000, we replace:
20000 = 5000 * e ^ (7 * i)
20000/5000 = e ^ (7 * i)
e ^ (7 * i) = 4
ln e ^ (7 * i) = ln 4
7 * i = ln 4
i = (ln 4) / 7
i = 0.198
Which means that the rounded percentage will be 19.8% per year
Plug x = 0 into the function
f(x) = x^3 + 2x - 1
f(0) = 0^3 + 2(0) - 1
f(0) = -1
Note how the result is negative. The actual number itself doesn't matter. All we care about is the sign of the result.
Repeat for x = 1
f(x) = x^3 + 2x - 1
f(1) = 1^3 + 2(1) - 1
f(1) = 2
This result is positive.
---------------------------
We found that f(0) = -1 and f(1) = 2. The first output -1 is negative while the second output 2 is positive. Going from negative to positive means that, at some point, we will hit y = 0. We might have multiple instances of this happening, or just one. We don't know for sure. The only thing we do know is that there is at least one root in this interval.
To actually find this root, you'll need to use a graphing calculator because the root is some complicated decimal value. Using a graphing calculator, you should find the root to be approximately 0.4533976515
