To solve this problem, plug 8250 in for b and 15 in for t and then solve for k:

8250=1000e^{15k}

<em>*Divide both sides by 1000*</em>

8.25=e^{15k}

<em>*Take the natural log (ln) of both sides*</em>

2.1102=15k

<em>*Divide both sides by 15*</em>

0.1406=k


0.1406 rounds to 0.141 which is close to a. 0.143.


Hope this helps!!

If Angela $98,760 home appreciates 3% a year will she have enough appreciation to try to sell a home for a $15,000 profit in fiv
olasank [31]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

So, first, in 5 years, the home will have appreciated by 15%. (5 years times 3%). Once you find 15% of 98760, which is 658400, you have to add it on to the original price of the house. At this point, the house costs 757160 dollars. You then subtract the original price of the house from the price of the house 5 years from now. (757160-98760) and you get 658400. As you can tell, 658400>15000. Therefore, the answer is yes.

aleksley [76]

Considering that the subjects are chosen without replacement, they are not independent, and the probability cannot be found using the binomial distribution.

The binomial distribution and the hypergeometric distribution are quite similar, as:

  • They find the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials.
  • For each trial, there are only two possible outcomes.

  • The difference is that the binomial distribution is for independent trials, that is, in each trial, the probability of success is the same, while the hypergeometric distribution is for dependent trials.
  • If the sample is without replacement, the trials are not independent, thus the hypergeometric distribution is used, not the binomial.

What is the minimum number of degrees that an equilateral triangle can be rotated before it carries onto itself?
mash [69]
Since the triangle has equal sides it will carry onto it self at 120, since it can rotate 360 grades only and it has 3 sides so it will rotate in one third of 360 so 120
