The amount of money in an account with continuously compounded interest is given by the formula A = Pert , where P is the princi

pal, r is the annual interest rate, and t is the time in years. Calculate to the nearest hundredth of a year how long it takes for an amount of money to double if interest is compounded continuously at 3.1%.
Round to the nearest tenth.

A=future amount
P=present amount
r=rate in decimal
t=time in years


when A=2P, then that is double
A=Pe^(rt)
2P=Pe^(rt)
divide by P
2=e^(rt)
r=3.1% or 0.031 solve for t
2=e^(0.031t)
take the ln of both sides
ln(2)=0.031t
divide both sides by 0.031
(ln(2))/0.031=t
use calculator
22.359=t
round to tenth
22.4 years to double

Jillian is trying to save water, so she reduces the size of her square grass lawn by 8 feet on each side the area of the smaller
horsena [70]

Answer: 20 feet by 20 feet.


Step-by-step explanation:

1. You know that x is the original measure of one side. Since it is a square, all its sides are equal.

2. Therefore, to solve the problem you only need to solve for x, as you can see below:

- You have that:

(a-b)^{2}=a^{2}-2ab+b^{2}

- Then, you obtain the following quadratic equation:

(x-8)^{2} =144\\x^{2}-2(x)(8)+8^{2}=144\\x^{2}-16x-80=0

- Apply the Quadratic formula to solve it:

x=\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}\\a=1\\b=-16\\c=-80

- Then, you obtain:

x_1=20\\x_2=-4

3. The dimensions cannot be negative, therefore, the answer is: 20 feet by 20 feet.

Marissa is painting her rectangular patio, with the exception of a bench that does not need to be painted:
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

A = (x + 15)(x + 10) − 5

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+15)(x+10)-5=A would be a solution

To make this easier, let's assign x a value. Let's say 3.

(3+15)(3+10)-5=A

(18)(13)-5=A

234-5=A

A=229

Now with this, we put x in the answer choice and the answer that gives an area of 229 is correct.

A. A=(3+20)(3+10)+12=(23)(13)+12=299+12=311 <u>Answer A is wrong.</u>

B. A=(3+20)(3+10)-12=(23)(13)-12=299-12=287 <u>Answer B is wrong.</u>

C. A=(3+26)(3+15)=(29)(18)=522 <u>Answer C is wrong.</u>

D. A=(3+14)(3+8)=(17)(11)=187 <u>Answer D is wrong.</u>

It's either I'm wrong or the answer choices are wrong.

New answer choices!

A. A=(3+20)(3+11)

=(23)(14)=322 Answer A is wrong.

B. A=(3+15)(3+10)+5

=(18)(13)+5=234+5=239  Answer B is wrong.

C. A=(3+15)(3+10)−5

=(18)(13)-5=234-5=229 Answer C is correct.

D. A=(3+9)(3+10)=(12)(13)=156 <u>Answer D is wrong.</u>

Can someone pleaseee help!!!
krok68 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

use known angles and rules to find unknown values

vertical angles (pairs of angles on opposite sides of an intersection) are equivalent

supplementary angles (angles found next to each other on a line) add up to 180 degrees

opposite interior angles are equivalent

And I don't remember the name of this kind of angle, but angle 1 and 10 are equivalent because they are found on the same "location"

using these rules you can find all missing angles.

1= 75

2=180-75=105

let me know if you need more help than this
