Answer:

  7 years 11 months

Step-by-step explanation:

The future value formula for the value of a principal P invested at annual rate r compounded n times yearly for t years is ...

  FV = P(1 +r/n)^(nt)

For the given numbers, we want to find t:

  6000 = 3700(1 +.062/2)^(2t)

Dividing by 3700 and taking the logarithm, we get ...

  6000/3700 = 1.031^(2t)

  log(60/37) = 2t·log(1.031)

Dividing by the coefficient of t gives ...

  t = log(60/37)/(2log(1.031)) ≈ 7.92 . . . . . years

It will take about 7 years 11 months for the investment to grow to $6000.

How can you determine the difference between an arithmetic and geometric sequence if you are given the first 4 terms of the sequ
Bess [88]
Compute successive differences of the terms.

If they are all the same, the sequence is arithmetic and the common difference is the difference you have found.

If successive pairs of differences have the same ratio, the sequence is geometric and the common ratio is the ratio you have determined.


Example of arithmetic sequence:
  1, 3, 5, 7
Successive differences are 3-1 = 2, 5-3 = 2, 7-5 = 2. All the differences are 2, which is the common difference of the sequence.

Example of geometric sequence:
  1, -3, 9, -27
Successive differences are -3-1 = -4, 9-(-3) = 12, -27-9 = -36. These are not the same, so the sequence is not arithmetic. Ratios of successive pairs of differences are 12/-4 = -3, -36/12 = -3. These are the same, so the sequence is geometric with common ratio -3.

Which equation represents a line that passes through the two points in the table x 1,5 and y 1,6
aleksandrvk [35]

For this case we must find a linear equation of the form:

y = mx + b

Where,

m: slope of the line

b: cutting point with vertical axis.

For the slope we have the following equation:

m = \frac {y_ {2} -y_ {1}} {x_ {2} -x_ {1}}

Substituting values we have:

m = \frac {6-5} {1-1}\\m = \frac {1} {0}

We observe that the slope of the line is not defined.

Therefore, the line is vertical.

Thus, the equation of the line is given by:

x = 1

Answer:

The equation of the line is given by:

x = 1

Can someone help me with my homework please
vichka [17]
Now you can see its pretty simple, its 128 but the way i got it is first you double 8 which makes 16 right then double 16 and you can see you got 32 then double 32 which makes 64 so next what you have to do is double 64 Obiously so you just double those numbers to get 128....Get it?
