Answer:

B.  9.6 %.

Step-by-step explanation:

A = P e^rt

His investment doubles so it comes to  3000 * 2 = $6000.

Substituting in the formula>

6000 = 3000e^7.2r   ehere r  is the interest rate.

e^7.2r = 2

Taking logs

7.2r = ln 2

r = ln2 / 7.2

r = 0.096

So the rate is 9.6%.

6 times a number is 27 less than the square of that number. Find the positive solution.
Verdich [7]

Let x = your number.

6x = x^2 - 27. Subtract 6x from each side.

0 = x^2 - 6x - 27. Factor

0 = (x-9) (x+3). Set each term equal to zero

(x+3) = 0. Subtract 3 from each side.

x = -3. This is the negative solution.

(x-9) = 0. Add 9 to each side.

x = 9. This is the positive solution.

the length of one leg of a right triangle is 6 feet. the length of the hypotenuse is 2 ft longer than the other leg. Find the le
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

The missing leg is 8 feet and the hypotenuse is 10 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem which is A²+B²=C².

So we know the first side is 6 so plug that into the equation which would now be 6²+B²=C².

Because the hypotenuse is 2 feet longer than the missing leg we can plug in C=B+2 which would now make it 6²+B²=(B+2)².

Now we solve what we have so far which would now make the equation 36+B²=B²+4B+ 4.

Now we can figure out that 4B=32.

Now isolate the variable, B, by divide both side of 4B=32 by 4.

This gives us B=8.

So the other side is 8 feet.

Since we know that the hypotenuse is 2 feet longer than the leg we just add 2 feet to the original 8 feet to find the hypotenuse to be 10 feet.

How many solutions does the following system of equations have?
sleet_krkn [62]
There is only solutions to the systems of equations - y = x -2 & y = -x + 2. We can find this by looking at the slopes of each line, which is 1 and -1. They are not negative reciprocals or the same exact slope, which would give the system of equations no solutions. Since the lines are not exactly the same, the system does not have infinitely many solutions. A system of LINEAR equations cannot have two solutions, giving us an answer of only one solution. Hope this helps!
