a) The formula for compound interest is:

Total = starting amount x (1 + interest rate)^ number of years

b)

Using the given information you have:

1200 = 500 x (1+0.045)^x where x is the length of time you want to find.

1200 = 500 (1.045)^x

Divide both sides by 500:

2.4 = 1.045^x

Use natural logarithms:

ln(1.045^x) = ln(2.4)

Solve for x:

X = ln(2.4) / ln(1.045)

X = 19.889 years ( Round the answer as needed).

X and y are in direct proportion, when x is 8, y is 12. Which of the following is not a
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

d.

Step-by-step explanation:

if x varies directly as y,

x = ky

8 = 12k

12k = 8

k = 8/ 12

k = 2/3,

x = 2/3 y

now substitute the value of any of the numbers of each pair, and check if it works:

for e.g, find x when y = 15

x = 2/3y

x = 2/3 × 15

x = 10

since you obtain x = 10 when y = 15, the pair is a possible corresponding value of x and y. now do the same for the rest .

ii) x = 2/3y

x = 2/3 × 3, when y = 3

x = 2

hence, this is also a possible pair of x and y values.

iii) x = 2/3y

x = 2/3 × 9 when y = 9

x = 6

again, a possible pair of x and y values.

iv) x = 2/3y

x = 2/3 × 20 when y = 20

x = 40/3

here, when y = 20, x is not 15. it is 40/3.

thus, it can be determined that this is not a possible pair of x and y values.

please try to understand and have a great day!

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Probability of selecting red tile out of a box containing 3 red,2 white & 5 black tiles = 3/10 = 0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the calculation of likelihood of an event.

It can be calculated by Formula : Favourable outcome / Total Outcomes

Example : If a box contain 3 red tiles, 2 white tiles, 5 black tiles

Prob (selecting a red tile) = Favourable outcome (red tiles) / Total Outcomes (total tiles) = 3 / 10 = 0.3

Similarly, prob (white tile) & prob (black tile) = 2/10 ie 0.2 & 5/10 ie 0.5 respectively
