8 0

Answer:

8 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Compound interest formula

A(t)= A_0(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}

A(t) is the final amount 55000

A_0= 40000, r= 4% = 0.04, for quarterly n=4

55000=40000(1+\frac{0.04}{4})^{4t}

divide both sides by 40000

1375=(1+\frac{0.04}{4})^{4t}

1375=(1.01)^{4t}

Take ln on both sides

ln(1375)=4tln(1.01)

divide both sides by ln(1.01)

\frac{ln 1375}{ln 1.01}=4t

Divide both sides by 4

t=8.00108

So it takes 8 years

The answer would be D. (3, -4).

Work:
3 = x
-4 = y
3 • 5 = 15
-4 • 2 = -8
15 + -8 = 7

To check: y = x - 7
-4 = 3 - 7
3 - 7 = -4

7. The value of a computer has a decay factor of 0.85 per year. After 2 years, the computer is worth $1445. What was the origina
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

$64222.22

Step-by-step explanation:

If we call the original value as x, we can write:

1445 = x * (0.15)²   (Note: We write 1 - 0.85 = 0.15 and not 0.85 because 0.85 is the decay factor)

1445 = 0.0225x

x ≈ 64222.22

Find the acute angles between the curves at their points of intersection. (the angle between two curves is the angle between the
amm1812
At point of intersection the two equations are equal,
hence, 6x³ =6x²
           6x³-6x²=0
           6x²(x-1)=0 , the values of x are 0 and 1
The points of intersection are therefore, (0,0) and (1,6)
To find the slopes of the tangents at the points of intersection we find dy/dx
for curve 1, dy/dx=12x, and the other curve dy/dx=18x²
At x=0, dy/dx=12x =0, dy/dx=18x² = 0, hence the angle between the tangents is 0, because the tangents to the two curves have the same slope which is 0 and pass the same point (0,0) origin.
At x=1, dy/dx =12x = 12, dy/dx= 18x² =18, Hence the angle between the two tangents will be given by arctan 18 -arctan 12 
                                      = 86.8202 - 85.2364 ≈ 1.5838, because the slope of the lines is equal to tan α where α is the angle of inclination of the line.
