8 0

Answer:

It will take 3.2 hours for 8 inches of snow to fall.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this be going "backwards".

You have 2.5 inches of snow falling per hour for x hours until you get 8 inches of snow, which can be represented like this:

2.5x=8 From here you being to solve by isolating x on one side of the equation. You would divide both sides by 2.5 to do this

2.5x=8

/2.5 /2.5

8 divided by 2.5 is 3.2 and you then get

x=3.2

It takes 3.2 hours for 8 inches of snow to fall

Answer:

8.2

Step-by-step explanation:

-7.2 to -7.2 is 0

-9.3 to -1.1 is 8.2

Pythagorean theorem is a^2+b^2=c^2

0^2=0

8.2^2=67.24

0+67.24=0

√67.24=8.2

If $190 is invested at an interest rate of 11% per year and is compounded continuously, how much will the investment be worth in

dangina [55]

Answer:

$295.01

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the compounding continuously formula, we are looking for A. We have that P = 190; r = .11 (always use the decimal form of the rate!); and t = 4. Filling in we have:

$A=190e^{(.11)(4)}$

Simplifying that multiplication:

$A=190e^{.44}$ .

On your calculator, raise e to the .44 power to get

A = 190(1.552707219) and

A = $295.01
