Answer:
It seems like it is 110 degrees.
Step-by-step explanation:
So for this you will be using an exponential equation, which is
with a=initial value, b=growth/decay, y = total balance, and x = # of years
In this case, a = 500, and since with this problem the initial value is growing, you will add 100% to 6% to get 106%, or 1.06. The equation will be formed as such: 
With this problem, just plug in 15 into x and solve for y: 
In short, after 15 years Tom will have $1198.28 in his account.
Answer:
5 and -2
Step-by-step explanation:






or


25.8%
First, determine how many standard deviations from the norm that 3 tons are. So:
(3 - 2.43) / 0.88 = 0.57/0.88 = 0.647727273
So 3 tons would be 0.647727273 deviations from the norm. Now using a standard normal table, lookup the value 0.65 (the table I'm using has z-values to only 2 decimal places, so I rounded the z-value I got from 0.647727273 to 0.65). The value I got is 0.24215. Now this value is the probability of getting a value between the mean and the z-score. What I want is the probability of getting that z-score and anything higher. So subtract the value from 0.5, so 0.5 - 0.24215 = 0.25785 = 25.785%
So the probability that more than 3 tons will be dumped in a week is 25.8%
I got 3.825
your equation would be
(2x-1)(x+7)=72
when you distribute youd get
2x^2 +13x -7 =72
move the 72 over giving you
2x^2 +13x -79=0
i used the quadratic formula and the answer would be 3.825 because a negative answer wouldn’t make sense in this situation
