c) If an initial investment of $ 35,000 grows to $257,000 in 15 years, what annual interest rate, continuously compounded, was e
1 answer:
Answer: 13.29%
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula to calculate the compound amount (compounded continuously) is given by :-
, where P is the principal amount , r is the rate of interest ( in decimal) and t is the time period.
Given : P= $ 35,000 , A= $257,000 and t=15 years
To find : r , we substitute all the values in the above formula , we get
Taking natural log on both the sides , we get
Hence, the annual interest rate = 13.29%

Let's assume
length of rectangle =L
width of rectangle =W
You enclose 3 sides of the garden with 40 feet of fencing
so, we get
now, we can solve for L
we know that
area of rectangle is
now, we can plug
now, we can solve for W
we can use quadratic formula
we can take anyone value ..because both are giving positive value
first dimensions:
now, we can find L
so, length is 34.142feet
width is 2.929 feet
Second dimensions:
now, we can find L
so, length is 5.858feet
width is 17.071 feet
Given that ∠B ≅ ∠C.
to prove that the sides AB = AC
This can be done by the method of contradiction.
If possible let AB =AC
Then either AB>AC or AB<AC
Case i: If AB>AC, then by triangle axiom, Angle C > angle B.
But since angle C = angle B, we get AB cannot be greater than AC
Case ii: If AB<AC, then by triangle axiom, Angle C < angle B.
But since angle C = angle B, we get AB cannot be less than AC
Conclusion:
Since AB cannot be greater than AC nor less than AC, we have only one possibility. that is AB =AC
Hence if angle B = angle C it follows that
AB = AC, and AB ≅ AC.
