Answer: it will take 17.33 years to double.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for continuously compounded interest is

A = P x e^(r x t)

Where

A represents the future value of the investment after t years.

P represents the present value or initial amount invested

r represents the interest rate

t represents the time in years for which the investment was made.

e is the mathematical constant approximated as 2.7183.

From the information given,

P = 425

A = 2 × 425 = 850

r = 4% = 4/100 = 0.04

Therefore,

850 = 425 x 2.7183^(0.04 x t)

850/425 = 2.7183^(0.04t)

2 = 2.7183^(0.04t)

Taking ln of both sides, it becomes

Ln 2 = 0.04t ln 2.7183

0.693 = 0.04t

t = 0.693/0.04

t = 17.325

What is the solution to this system of equations?<br> x = 12 − y<br> 2x + 3y = 29
Elenna [48]
Let’s arrange the fist equation
x+y=12
2x+3y=29

Multiply equation 1 by 2
So it will be

2x+2y=24

Subtract eq 1 from eq 2

2x+3y=29
2x+2y=24
—————-
Y =5

Put value of y in eq 1

2x+2y=24
2x +10= 24
2x= 24-10
2x= 14
x=14/2
x=7

Which number is not a perfect square?
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

If I had to make a choice it would be C. Its strange because all numbers can be divided by 4 so they all can make a square. But the closest was C.
