Answer:

Using the rule of 72, the doubling time is 9.35 years.

The exact answer is that the doubling time is 8.89 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

By the rule of 72, we have that the doubling time D is given by:

D = \frac{72}{Interest Rate}

The interest rate is in %.

In our exercise, the interest rate is 7.7%. So, by the rule of 72:

D = \frac{72}{7.7} = 9.35.

Exact answer:

The exact answer is going to be found using the compound interest formula(since the rule of 72 is a simplification of this formula).

The compound interest formula is given by:

A = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}

Where A is the amount of money, P is the principal(the initial sum of money), r is the interest rate(as a decimal value), n is the number of times that interest is compounded per unit t and t is the time the money is invested or borrowed for.

So, for this exercise, we have:

We want to find the doubling time, that is, the time in which the amount is double the initial amount, double the principal.

A = 2P

r = 0.077

There are 52 weeks in a year, so n = 52

A = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}

2P = P(1 + \frac{0.077}{52})^{52t}

2 = (1.0015)^{52t}

Now, we apply the following log propriety:

\log_{a} a^{n} = n

So:

\log_{1.0015}(1.0015)^{52t} = \log_{1.0015} 2

52t = 462.44

t = \frac{462.44}{52}

t = 8.89

The exact answer is that the doubling time is 8.89 years.

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

180

Step-by-step explanation:

formula density:

p =  \frac{m}{v}

find volume ..

v = 12 \times 6 \times 2  \\  = 144

subtitute into formula density..

1.25 =  \frac{m}{144}

m = 180

Which number is irrational?<br> -4<br> 2/9<br> 8.26<br> 11
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

None of them are irrational.

Step-by-step explanation:

An Irrational Number is a real number that cannot be written as a simple fraction.

Therefore:

-4 can be written as -4/1

2/9 is already in fraction

8.26 can be written as 826/100

11 can be written as 11/1

None of them are irrational.

However numbers like  \sqrt{x}, \pi are irrational as they can not be represented as fractions.

Elevator 1 in a building moved from ground position to a final position of +13 feet. Elevator 2 in the same building moved from
Marina CMI [18]

The correct answer I believe you are looking for is D. Elevator 1 is 13 feet above ground level, and Elevator 2 is 10 feet below ground level.

<u>Explaination:</u>

This is because if you start at (0, 0) Elevator one, will go up 13 on the y axis. Putting it at 13 feet above ground level. If you start Elevator 2 at ground level on (0, 0) and go down 10 it will make it -10 AKA 10 feet below ground level.


I hope this helps! :)
