How long will it take for an investment to triple if it is compounded continuously at 12%

Mathematics
1 answer:
myrzilka [38]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

9.694 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the investment is $P.

So, we are asked to determine the time it will grow to triple with the compound interest rate of 12%.

Let the time is y years.

So, from the formula of compound interest we can write

3P = P(1 + \frac{12}{100} )^{y}

⇒ (1 + \frac{12}{100} )^{y} = 3

⇒ (1.12)^{y} = 3

Now, taking log both sides we get,

y log 1.12 = log 3 {Since, \log a^{b} = b \log a }

⇒ 0.04922y = 0.477712

⇒ y = 9.694 years (Answer)

Answer:

1) x = (a+c)/b

2) The equation is correct no matter what value x takes.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) a−(a+b)x=(b−a)x−(c+bx)

<=> a - ax - bx = bx - ax - c - bx

<=> a - ax - bx - (bx - ax - c - bx) = 0

<=> a - ax - bx - bx + ax + c + bx = 0

<=> a - ax + ax - bx - bx + bx + c = 0

<=> a - bx + c = 0

<=> bx = a + c

If b ≠ 0, x = (a+c)/b

2) 2(3x−5a)+9(2a−7b)+3(5a−2x)=0

<=> 2×3x + 2×(-5a) + 9×2a + 9× (-7b) + 3×5a + 3×(-2x) = 0

<=> 6x -10a + 18a - 63b + 15a - 6x = 0

<=> (6x - 6x) + (15a - 10a + 18a) - 63b = 0

<=> 23a - 63b = 0

<=> 23a = 63b

=> a = 63b/23

with all values of x, the equation is correct.

Marcelino bought balloons to sell at lunches to raise money for charity
Arada [10]

Answer:

<u>Marcelino will have $7.50: his costs are more than his profits. </u>

Step-by-step explanation:

22.50 + 7.50 + 15.00

In total Marcelino spent $45 to make these balloons.

He wants to sell each balloon for $1.25.

If he sells the 30 balloons he bought for $1.25 he will make:

30 * 1.25 = $37.50... okay he made some money, BUT he spent $45 dollars for the items.

45 - 37.50 = $7.50, Marcelino made no profit... he still needs to make $7.50 to pay off his own costs.
