Answer:
The doubling time of this investment would be 9.9 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
The appropriate equation for this compound interest is
A = Pe^(rt), where P is the principal, r is the interest rate as a decimal fraction, and t is the elapsed time in years.
If P doubles, then A = 2P
Thus, 2P = Pe^(0.07t)
Dividing both sides by P results in 2 = e^(0.07t)
Take the natural log of both sides: ln 2 = 0.07t.
Then t = elapsed time = ln 2
--------- = 0.69315/0.07 = 9.9
0.07
The doubling time of this investment would be 9.9 years.
Answer:
x = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram can be misleading because angle A does not correspond to angle F. Rather angle F corresponds to angle C.
In congruent triangles, corresponding angles have the same measure. The sum of angles is always 180°, so we have ...
... m∠A +m∠B +m∠C = 180°
... (3x+6)° +50° +(9x -68)° = 180°
... 12x -12 = 180 . . . . . divide by °, collect terms
... x -1 = 15 . . . . . . . . . .divide by the coefficient of x
... x = 16 . . . . . . . . . . . add 1
_____
<em>Check</em>
m∠A = (3x+6)° = 54°
m∠C = (9x -68)° = 76°
The total of angles is 54° +50° +76° = 180°. . . . . as it should be
Answer:
x = - 
, x = 
Step-by-step explanation:
The absolute value function always gives a positive value, however, the expression inside can be positive or negative, that is
- 3x + 16 = 18 or -(- 3x + 16) = 18
Solving
- 3x + 16 = 18 ( subtract 16 from both sides )
- 3x = 2 ( divide both sides by - 3 )
x = -
or
-(- 3x + 16) = 18
3x - 16 = 18 ( add 16 to both sides )
3x = 34 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x = 
As a check
Substitute these values into the left side of the equation and if equal to the right side then they are the solutions.
| - 3(- ) + 16 | = | 2 + 16 | = | 18 | = 18 ← True
| - 3( ) + 16 | = | - 34 + 16 | = | - 18 | = 18 ← True
Thus x = - and x = are the solutions
