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.

(d) The particle moves in the positive direction when its velocity has a positive sign. You know the particle is at rest when t=0 and t=3, and because the velocity function is continuous, you need only check the sign of v(t) for values on the intervals (0, 3) and (3, 6).

We have, for instance v(1)\approx-0.91 and v(4)\approx0.91>0, which means the particle is moving the positive direction for 3, or the interval (3, 6).

(e) The total distance traveled is obtained by integrating the absolute value of the velocity function over the given interval:

\displaystyle\int_0^6|v(t)|\,\mathrm dt=\int_0^3-v(t)\,\mathrm dt+\int_3^6v(t)\,\mathrm dt

which follows from the definition of absolute value. In particular, if x is negative, then |x|=-x.

The total distance traveled is then 4 ft.

(g) Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so a(t) is the derivative of v(t):

a(t)=v'(t)=-\dfrac{\pi^2}9\cos\left(\dfrac{\pi t}3\right)

Compute the acceleration at t=4 seconds:

a(t)=\dfrac{\pi^2}{18}\dfrac{\rm ft}{\mathrm s^2}

(In case you need to know, for part (i), the particle is speeding up when the acceleration is positive. So this is done the same way as part (d).)

7r-5r+8=9r+8-r translate to an equation, then solve
pshichka [43]

Answer:

r=0

Step-by-step explanation:

7r-5r+8=9r+8-r

This is already an equation

Combine like terms

2r+8 = 8r+8

Subtract 2r from each side

2r-2r +8 = 8r-2r +8

8 =6r+8

Subtract 8 from each side

8-8 = 6r+8-8

0 = 6r

Divide by 6

0/6 = 6r/6

0 =r

On average, college graduates spend more money on the lottery than those with only a high school education. True or false?
Anettt [7]
True. College graduates often spend more money on lottery tickets than those with only a high school education, hoping to win big to pay off student loans. Hope this helps!
