Answer:
Approximately 22.97 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the equation for continuously compounded interest, which uses the exponential base "e":
Where P is the principal (initial amount of the deposit - unknown in our case)
A is the accrued value (value accumulated after interest is compounded), in our case it is not a given value but we know that it triples the original deposit (principal) so we write it as: 3 P (three times the principal)
k is the interest rate : 5% which translates into 0.05
and t is the time in the savings account to triple its value (what we need to find)
The formula becomes:
To solve for "t" we divide both sides of the equation by P (notice it cancels P everywhere), and then to solve for the exponent "t" we use the natural logarithm function:
Answer:
-5.457875
Step-by-step explanation:
Angles 1 and 3, angles 2 and 4, angles 5 and 7, and angles 6 and 8. They are also congruent, because vertical angles are congruent.
Answer:
F = 3x +(2.7×10^7)/x
Step-by-step explanation:
The formulas for area and perimeter of a rectangle can be used to find the desired function.
<h3>Area</h3>
The area of the rectangle will be the product of its dimensions:
A = LW
Using the given values, we have ...
13.5×10^6 = xy
Solving for y gives ...
y = (13.5×10^6)/x
<h3>Perimeter</h3>
The perimeter of the rectangle is the sum of the side lengths:
P = 2(L+W) = 2(x+y)
<h3>Fence length</h3>
The total amount of fence required is the perimeter plus one more section that is x feet long.
F = 2(x +y) +x = 3x +2y
Substituting for y, we have a function of x:
F = 3x +(2.7×10^7)/x

<em>Additional comment</em>
The length of fence required is minimized for x=3000. The overall size of that fenced area is x=3000 ft by y=4500 ft. Each half is 3000 ft by 2250 ft. Half of the total 18000 ft of fence is used for each of the perpendicular directions: 3x=2y=9000 ft.
