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>

Which of the following points is the solution of the quadratic equation:3x^2-5x-2=0​
Maslowich

Answer:

x1 = 2

x2 = -1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

3x^2-5x-2=0

D=25-4*(-2)*3 = 25 + 24 = 49 --> sqrt 49 = 7

x1 = 5 + 7 / 2*3 =   2

x2 = 5 - 7 / 2*3 =  -1/3
