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%

Five WHOLE numbers are written in order
tino4ka555 [31]

x = 7

y = 8

All I did was assume x was 7 and y was 8. I added 4, 6, 7, 8, and 10 together. I got 35. Then, I divided by five (since that's how many numbers are shown) and I got 7 for the mean. 7 is the median, and the 7 is the mean gotten from 4, 6, 7, 8, and 10. Therefore, x must equal 7 and y must equal 8.

The larger of two integers is 1 greater than twice the smaller integer the smaller integer is 17 less than twice the larger inte
horrorfan [7]
Larger = 2smaller + 1 ----(1)
smaller = 2 larger - 17 ----(2)

put (2) in (1)
larger = 2(2larger-17) + 1
larger = 4larger-34+1
-3larger = - 33
so larger= 11
then smaller= 2(11)-17 = 5

answer two integers are 11 and 5
