Here is the compound interest formula solved for years:
<span>Years = {log(total) -log(Principal)} ÷ log(1 + rate)
</span>Years = {log(800) - log(600)} <span>÷ log(1.025)
</span><span>Years = {2.903089987 -2.7781512504} / 0.010723865392
</span>Years = { <span> <span> <span> 0.1249387366 } / </span></span></span><span><span><span>0.010723865392
</span> </span> </span> Years = <span> <span> <span> 11.6505319708 </span> </span> </span>
That's how many years it takes for the $600 to become exactly $800.00
The question specifically asks how long for the money to be MORE than $800.00?

So, if we enter 800.01 into the equation, then the answer is
Years = {log(800.01) - log(600)} <span>÷ log(1.025)
</span><span>Years = {2.9030954156 -2.7781512504} / 0.010723865392
</span>Years = <span> <span> <span> 0.1249441652 </span> </span> </span> / 0.010723865392
<span> <span> <span> Years = 11.6510381875 </span> </span> </span>
<span><span> </span></span>

This is Josh’s work and solution for the equation x^2-6x-7=0:
inn [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the solution is right

x^2-6x-7=0:

x^2-6x-7=0 (add 7 to both sides)

x^2-6x=7

x^2-6x+9=7+9  (the coefficient of x² will be used to divide all sides)for here its 1, it will remain same ,

then we get the coefficient of x, divide it by 2 and square it and add it to both sides

which is like these

x²-6x=7

the coefficient of x is -6

-6/2 = -3, square it (-3)² = 9

then add 9 to both sides

x^2-6x+9=7+9

simplifiy the squares on the left hand side

x²+9 = (x-3)²

(x-3)^2=16

√(x-3)^2 )=±√16

x-3=± 4

x=-3±4

then simplify each sign

x=-3+4            x=-3-4

x=1                   x=-7

How to find the diameter if you have the circumference
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Solve the equation for the diameter of the circle, d= C/π. In this example, "d = 12 / 3.14." or "The diameter is equal to twelve divided by 3.14." Divide the circumference by pi to get the answer. In this case, the diameter would be 3.82 inches
