After 6 years the investment is $5555.88

Step-by-step explanation:

A principal of $3600 is invested at 7.5% interest, compounded annually. How much will the investment be worth after 6 years?

The formula used to find future value is:

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

where A(t) = Accumulated amount

P = Principal Amount

r = annual rate

t= time

n= compounding periods per year

We are given:

P = $3600

r = 7.5 %

t = 6

n = 1

Putting values in formula:

$A(t)=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}\\A(t)=3600(1+\frac{0.075}{1})^{6*1}\\A(t)=3600(\frac{1.075}{1})^6\\A(t)=3600(1.075)^6\\A(t)=3600(1.543)\\A(t)=5555.88$

So, After 6 years the investment is $5555.88

A culture started with 4,000 bacteria. After 5 hours, it grew to 4,800 bacteria. Predict how many bacteria will be present after

eimsori [14]

First we need to find k ( rate of growth)
The formula is
A=p e^kt
A future bacteria 4800
P current bacteria 4000
E constant
K rate of growth?
T time 5 hours
Plug in the formula
4800=4000 e^5k
Solve for k
4800/4000=e^5k
Take the log for both sides
Log (4800/4000)=5k×log (e)
5k=log (4800/4000)÷log (e)
K=(log(4,800÷4,000)÷log(e))÷5
k=0.03646

Now use the formula again to find how bacteria will be present after 15 Hours
A=p e^kt
A ?
P 4000
K 0.03646
E constant
T 15 hours
Plug in the formula
A=4,000×e^(0.03646×15)
A=6,911.55 round your answer to get 6912 bacteria will be present after 15 Hours

Hope it helps!

Glenda receives a salary of $4,792 bimonthly. Find Glenda’s earnings per year.

Andre45 [30]

Answer: $28,752

Explanation:

The<u> definition of bimonthly</u> is an event that happens once in two months. $-bi$ represents "two", while $-monthly$ represents "event that happens by month.

Given that Glenda receives a salary of <u>$4,792 bi-monthly</u>, we are required to find the earnings per year.

There are <u>12 months in each year</u>, and if the given value is a 2-month value, then we shall divide 12 by 2 to find that there is in total 6 of the 2-month value.

$12/2=6$

Finally, we shall <u>multiply the total number with the salary</u>, which will be $4,792 times 6.

$4792*6=\boxed{28752}$

Hope this helps!! :)

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

y = $\sqrt{\frac{x-3}{3} }$

Domain = [3, infinity)

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 3y^2 + 3

3y^2 = x - 3

y^2 = (x-3)/3

y = $\sqrt{\frac{x-3}{3} }$
