Answer:

After 50 years the stock value will be $50 per share.

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple Interest Equation (Principal + Interest)

A = P(1 + rt)

Where:

A = Future amont = $50

P = Principal Amount = $40

r = Rate of Interest per year in decimal; r = R/100 = 0.5/100 = 0.005

t = Time Period involved in months or years  

Plug in the values

50 = 40(1 + 0.005t)

50 / 40 = (1 + 0.005t)

5/4 = 1 + 0.005t

5/4 - 1 = 0.005t

0.25 = 0.005t

t = 0.25 / 0.005

t = 50 years

Answer:

44. 7 yr

Step-by-step explanation:

The compound interest equation is

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

You don't give the frequency of compounding, so I will assume that it is once per year.

Data:

P = $40

r = 0.5 % = 0.005

n =1  

Calculations:

(a) Calculate A

A = P + I = 40 + 10 = $50

(b) Calculate t

50 = 40(1+ \frac{0.005 }{ 1})^{1 \times t}\\50 = 40(1+ 0.005)^{t}

Divide each side by 40

1.25 = 1.005^{t}

Take the logarithm of each side

 log1.25 = tlog1.005

0.09691 = 0.002 166t

Divide each side by 0.002 166

t = 44.7 yr

The value of the stock will be $50 in 44.7 yr.

Substitution for:<br> X-5y=10<br> 2x-10y=20
sergey [27]
Since you need an isolated variable to use the substitution method, we need to re-arrange one of the equations. This will probably be easiest to do with the first one.
Add 5y to both sides of the first equation.
x=10+5y
Now, in the second equation, put in 10+5y in any spot that has an x.
2(10+5y)-10y=20
Distribute the 2 to both numbers in the parenthesis.
20+10y-10y=20
Combine like terms.
20=20
This means that the two equations are actually the same. You can see this if you multiply the whole first equation by 2
2(x-5y=10)
2x-10y=20, which is the same as the second equation. Therefore, the two equations are actually the same one.

Which linear inequality is represented by the graph?
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer: y > 2x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In the graph first, we can see two things:

The line is not solid (so the values in the line are not included), and the shaded part is above, so we will be using the symbol:

y > f(x)

Now, in the line we can see that when x = 0, y = 1.

So the linear equation must be something like:

f(x) = a*x + 1

The only one that has an y-intercept equal to 1 is y > 2x + 1
