Answer: 51.4 years

Step-by-step explanation:

There is what we call rule of 72 in Accounting to find the time  a sum of money will double if it is compounded annually at any given rate . The formula is given as :

t = \frac{72}{r}

where t is the time and r is the rate.

t = ?

r = 1.4

Therefore :

t = 72/1.4

t = 51.4286

to the nearest tenth

t = 51. 4 years

Answer:approximately 50 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $P represent the initial amount that she deposited. It means that principal,

P = $P

It was compounded annually. This means that it was compounded once in a year. So

n = 1

The rate at which the principal was compounded is 1.4%. So

r = 1.4/100 = 0.014

The formula for compound interest is

A = P(1+r/n)^nt

A = total amount in the account at the end of t years. For the initial amount to double, it means that

A = 2P

Therefore

2P = P (1+0.014/1)^1×t

2P/P = (1.014)^t

2 = (1.014)^t

Taking log to base 10 of both sides, it becomes

Log 2 = log 1.014^t

Log 2 = tlog 1.014

0.301 = 0.006t

t = 0.301/0.006 = 50.2 years

Which statements are true about the solution of 15 greater-than-or-equal-to 22 + x? Select three options. x greater-than-or-equa
Sidana [21]

Answer:

x \leq  -7

The graph has a closed circle.

–7 is part of the solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

15 \geq 22 + x

Required

Select 3 options from the given list of options

15 \geq 22 + x

Subtract 22 from both sides

15 - 22 \geq 22 - 22+ x

-7 \geq x

Swap positions of the expression; Note that the inequality sign will change

x \leq  -7

This means  <em>x less-than-or-equal-to negative 7</em>

<em></em>

There are two options left to select;

The inequality sign in x \leq  -7 implies that the graph has a close circle.

Inequality signs such as \leq and  \geq signifies a close circle

There is only one option left to select;

Lastly;

Split the expression x \leq  -7 into two

We have:

x < -7 or x = -7

Because x = 7,

Then, -7 is also a part of the solution
