Answer:

8 years

Step-by-step explanation:

An initial investment of $100 is now valued at $150. The annual interest rate is 5%, compounded continuously. The equation $100e^{0.05t} = 150$ represents the situation, where t is the number of years the money has been invested.

To find out how long has the money invested we need to find out 't'

$100e^{0.05t} = 150$ , solve for t

divide both sides by 100

$e^{0.05t} = 1.5$

Now to remove 'e' we take ln on both sides

$ln(e^{0.05t) = ln 1.5$

the value of $ln(e)= 1$

$0.05t = ln 1.5$

Now divide by 0.05 on both sides

t = 8.10930

The money is invested for 8 years

Okay so first subtract 9x^2-10x+1 which gives you (9x -1)(x-1). then do the same to the next one which gives you -2(x^2 -2x +5) when you subtract you should get 11x^2 - 14x +11

Answer:

1. The probability that the T-shirt will be grey :-

=》

$\frac{2}{20}$

=》

$\frac{1}{10}$

=》

$0.1$

hence, the probability of grey t-shirt is 0.1

2. The probability that the T-shirt will not be red :-

=》

$1 - \frac{4}{20}$

=》

$1 - \frac{2}{10}$

=》

$1 - 0.2$

=》

$0.8$

The probability that the T-shirt will not be red is

0.8

3. He takes one of his blue T-shirts at random.

What is the probability that the T-shirt is light blue

total blue t-shirts = 5

so, the probability of choosing light blue t-shirt is

=》

$\frac{1}{5}$

=》

$\frac{2}{10}$

=》

$0.2$

hence, the probability of choosing light blue t-shirt is 0.2

Plot the following points and find the area of the figure. (3,2); (-3,2); (-3,-3); (3,-3)

nevsk [136]

We have been given 4 points $(3,2), (-3,2), (-3,-3), (3,-3)$ . We are asked yo plot these points on coordinate plane and find the area of the figure.

Upon plotting our given points, we will get a rectangle as shown in the attached file.

We can see that the width is 5 units that is difference between y-coordinates of point $(3,2)\text{ and }(3,-3)$ .

$\text{Width}=2-(-3)=2+3=5$

We can see that the length of rectangle is 6 units that is difference between x-coordinates of point $(-3,2)\text{ and }(3,2)$ .

$\text{Length}=3-(-3)=3+3=6$

We know that area of rectangle is length times width.

$A=\text{Length}\times \text{Width}$

$A=6\times 5$

$A=30$

Therefore, the area of the figure would be 30 square units.
