Answer:

The growth rate he needs to achieve his goal is approximatelly 19.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the sum will be compounded continuously we have to use the appropriate formula given below:

M = C*e^(r*t)

Where "M" is the final amount, C is the initial amount, r is the interest rate and t is the time elapsed. Since Sung Lee will invest that sum at 18 years old and he wants to recieve the return at 25, then the time elapsed is given by 25 -18 = 7 years. We can now apply the data to the formula:

16000 = 4000*e^(r*7)

4000*e^(7*r) = 16000

e^(7*r) = 16000/4000 = 4

ln[e^(7*r)] = ln(4)

7*r = ln(4)

r = ln(4)/7 = 0.198

The rate of interest is given by (r)*100%, so we have (0.198)*100% = 19.8%.

Find the slope for the following pair of points:<br> (12,-16) and (3,0)
nadezda [96]

Answer:

16/9

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the slope given two points by using the following formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    = (0--16)/(3-12)

     = (0+16)/(3-12)

     =16/9

one bus leaves a stop every 9 minutes a second bus leaves every 15 minutes if they both leave at 1:25 at what time will they nex
aleksandrvk [35]
<span>In this question you need to find the lowest common multiple. I like to do it the factor tree way:<span>
<span>      15             9</span>
    /   \           / \
   3    5        3   3
See how there are both a 3 in the 15 factor tree and there is at least on three in the 9 factor tree. So when you find the LCM, you combine the two threes from the different factor trees like this:
3 x 5 x 3 = 45
So every 45 minutes the bus would be at the bus stop together

Now simply add the 45mins onto the 1:25
