Answer:

7.87 years

Step-by-step explanation:

#First we determine the effective annual rate based on the 9% compounded semi annual;

i_m=(1+i/m)^m-1\\\\=(1+0.09/2)^2-1\\\\=0.09203

#We then use this effective rate in the compound interest formula to solve for n. Given that the principal doubles after 2 yrs:

A=P(1+i)^n\\\\A=2P, i=i_m\\\\16000=8000(1.09203)^n\\\\2=1.09203^n\\\\n=\frac{log \ 2}{log \ 1.09203}\\\\=7.87324\approx7.87 \ yrs

Hence, it takes 7.87 years for the principal amount to double.

Find the value of the variable and YZ if Y is between X and Z
PIT_PIT [208]
If point Y is between points X and Z, then

XY + YZ = XZ

In words, the distance from X to Y, plus the distance from Y to Z, is equal to the distance from X to Z. (See the attached picture.)

So 6b + 8b = 175

Write an equation for a line parallel to y=-3x+2 that passes through the point (-1,4)
Wewaii [24]

<span>y=−3x+2</span> is a linear equation in slope-intercept form with
slope <span>m=<span>(−3)</span></span>
(and y-intercept <span>=2</span>)

We want the equation of a line with slope <span>m=<span>(−3)</span></span> through the point <span>(<span>−2</span>,<span>−8</span>)</span>

Using the point-slope linear equation form:
<span><span>(y−<span>(−8)</span>)</span>=<span>(−3)</span><span>(x−<span>(−2)</span>)</span></span>

Simplifying
<span>y+8=−3x−6</span>
or, in standard form
<span>3x+y=−<span>14</span></span>
