2.5 years required for an investment of 5000 dollars to grow to 6000 dollars at an interest rate of 7.5 percent per year, compounded quarterly.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is,

               Initial investment - $5000

               Future amount - $6000

               Interest rate - 7.5% (compounded quarterly)

Step:1

           Formula to calculate the Future amount with compound interest,

                                   F = P(1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}...................................(1)

          Where, F - Future amount

                           P - Initial amount

                            r - Rate of interest

                           n - No. of compounding in a year

                            t - Time period

          From given,

                      F = $6000

                      P = $5000

                       r = 7.5%

                       n = 4 (compounded quarterly)

        Equation (1) becomes,

                              6000=5000(1+\frac{0.075}{4} )^{(t)(4)}

                               \frac{6000}{5000} =(1+0.01875)^{4t}

                                 1.2 = (1.01875)^{4t}

         Take log on both sides,

                            log 1.2 = 4(t) log 1.01875

         Substitute log values,

                       0.07918 = 4(t) (0.0080676)

                                      = (t) (0.0322705)

                                   t = \frac{0.07918}{0.0322705}

                                      = 2.45

                                   t ≅ 2.5 years

Result:

         2.5 years required for an investment of 5000 dollars to grow to 6000 dollars at an interest rate of 7.5 percent per year, compounded quarterly.

Write an equation of the line that passes through (2,−5) and is parallel to the line 2y=3x+10
LenaWriter [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide two on both sides to get rid of it and the make the equation in the form y = mx + c

\frac{2}{2} y = \frac{3}{2} x +  \frac{10}{2}

y = 3/2x + 5

since both lines are parallel they must have the same gradient which is 3/2

y = 3/2x + c

All you have to do now is to replace x and y with (2, -5) to find c

x = 2

y = -5

-5 = 3/2 × 2 + c

-5 = 3 + c

c = -5-3

c = -8

y  = \frac{3}{2} x  - 8
