Answer: 13.29%

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to calculate the compound amount (compounded continuously) is given by :-

A=Pe^{rt}, 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

257000=(35000)e^{15r}\\\\\Rightarrow\ e^{15r}=\dfrac{257000}{35000}\\\\\Rightarrow\ e^{15r}=7.3428

Taking natural log on both the sides , we get

15r=\ln(7.3428)\\\\\Rightarrow\ 15r=1.9937\\\\\Rightarrow\ r=\dfrac{1.9937}{15}0.132913333333\approx0.1329=13.29\%

Hence, the annual interest rate = 13.29%

48. Climate A town's high temperature for a given
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer: 65 ≤ x ≤ 88

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denotes the temperature of the town for a given month.

Given : Climate A town's high temperature for a given  month is 88°F and the low temperature is 65°F.

i.e. 65°F ≤ temperature in a given month ≤ 88°F

Replace temperature in a given month by x.

Thus  the compound inequality to represent the range of temperatures for the given month :-

i.e. 65 ≤ x ≤ 88

Please help i really need it
masha68 [24]

Answer:

y = 108°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since AB and CD are parallel lines, then

3x - 12 and 2x + 16 are corresponding angles and congruent, thus

3x - 12 = 2x + 16 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

x - 12 = 16 ( add 12 to both sides )

x = 28

Thus

3x - 12 = 3(28) - 12 = 84 - 12 = 72°

y and 3x - 12 are adjacent angles and supplementary, thus

y = 180° - 72° = 108°
