We start at 62 Fahrenheit. And every hour we drop two degrees. We want to know how long it took for the temperature to drop to 40 Fahrenheit.

If one hour passed, then the temperature dropped two degrees.
If two hours passed, then the temperature dropped 4 degrees.

See the pattern? We can define this as 2h. Where h represents time in hours.
We subtract 2h from 62. 

We can write this as a function. F(h) = 62 - 2h.
Where F is the temperature in Fahrenheit. And h is the hour(s).

Now that we have the formula, let's plug in the value 40 Fahrenheit to see how long it took for the temperature to drop to 40 degrees.

40 = 62 - 2h
Subtract 62 from each side

-22 = -2h
Divide both sides by 2

h = 11

So, it took 11 hours for the temperature to drop to 40 Fahrenheit.

You are given a choice of taking the simple interest on ​$10,000 invested for 2 years at a rate of 3​% or the interest on ​$100,
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

Compount interest earns more. Difference between 2 interest is $92 445.39

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple Interest:

I =  \frac{prt}{100}

p = $10000

r = 3%

t = 2years

I = (10000×3×2)/100

= $600

Total amount = $10 600

Compound Interest:

A = p( {1 +  \frac{r}{100}) }^{n}

p = $100000

r = 3/730 (daily)

t = 730 (2yrs)

A = 100000[1+(3/73000)]^730

= $103 045.39 (2d.p)

Difference = $103045.39 -

$10600

= $92 445.39

The first option is cheaper if that’s what you’re asking.
It’s cheaper because it has a smaller slope so overall will have a lower price than the other option.

Solve for x.<br><br> log x + log 3 = log 18<br><br> Enter your answer in the box.
Makovka662 [10]

log(x) + log(3) = log(18)

log(x) + 0.477121 = 1.255273

Add -0.477121 to both sides.

log(x) + 0.477121 + −0.477121 = 1.255273 + −0.477121

log(x)+0 = 0.778152

Divide both sides by 1.

log(x)+0/1 = 0.778152/1

log(x)=0.778152

Solve Logarithm

log(x) = 0.778152

10log(x) = 100.778152

x = 100.778152

x = 6.00001
