Answer:

Michael

Step-by-step explanation:

The pieces of Michael's rope were (28 in)/5 = 5.6 in long.

The pieces of Brenden's rope were (30 in)/6 = 5.0 in long.

Michael's rope was cut into longer pieces.

You deposit 2000 in account A, which pays 2.25% annual interest compounded monthly. You deposit another 2000 in account b, which

stellarik [79]

To model this situation, we are going to use the compound interest formula: $A=P(1+ \frac{r}{n} )^{nt}$
where
$A$ is the final amount after $t$ years
$P$ is the initial deposit
$r$ is the interest rate in decimal form
$n$ is the number of times the interest is compounded per year
$t$ is the time in years

For account A:
We know for our problem that $P=2000$ and $r= \frac{2.25}{100} =0.0225$ . Since the interest is compounded monthly, it is compounded 12 times per year; therefore, $n=12$ . Lets replace those values in our formula:
$A=2000(1+ \frac{0.0225}{12} )^{12t}$

For account B:
$P=2000$ , $r= \frac{3}{100} =0.03$ , $n=12$ . Lest replace those values in our formula:
$A=2000(1+ \frac{0.03}{12} )^{12t}$

Since we want to find the time, $t$ , <span>when the sum of the balance in both accounts is at least 5000, we need to add both accounts and set that sum equal to 5000:
</span> $2000(1+ \frac{0.0225}{12} )^{12t}+2000(1+ \frac{0.03}{12} )^{12t}=5000$

Now that we have our equation, we just need to solve for $t$ :
$2000[(1+ \frac{0.0225}{12} )^{12t}+(1+ \frac{0.03}{12} )^{12t}]=5000$
$(1+ \frac{0.0225}{12} )^{12t}+(1+ \frac{0.03}{12} )^{12t}= \frac{5000} {2000}$
$(1.001875)^{12t}+(1.0025 )^{12t}= \frac{5}
{2}$
$ln(1.001875)^{12t}+ln(1.0025 )^{12t}=ln( \frac{5} {2})$
$12tln(1.001875)+12tln(1.0025 )=ln( \frac{5} {2})$
$t[12ln(1.001875)+12ln(1.0025 )]=ln( \frac{5} {2})$
$t= \frac{ln( \frac{5}{2} )}{12ln(1.001875)+12ln(1.0025 )}$
$17.47$

We can conclude that after 17.47 years <span>the sum of the balance in both accounts will be at least 5000.</span>

An advertising company designs a campaign to introduce a new product to a metropolitan area of population 3 Million people. Let

Advocard [28]

Answer:

$P(t)=3,000,000-3,000,000e^{0.0138t}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since P(t) increases at a rate proportional to the number of people still unaware of the product, we have

$P'(t)=K(3,000,000-P(t))$

Since no one was aware of the product at the beginning of the campaign and 50% of the people were aware of the product after 50 days of advertising

<em>P(0) = 0 and P(50) = 1,500,000 </em>

We have and ordinary differential equation of first order that we can write

$P'(t)+KP(t)= 3,000,000K$

The <em>integrating factor </em>is

$e^{Kt}$

Multiplying both sides of the equation by the integrating factor

$e^{Kt}P'(t)+e^{Kt}KP(t)= e^{Kt}3,000,000*K$

Hence

$(e^{Kt}P(t))'=3,000,000Ke^{Kt}$

Integrating both sides

$e^{Kt}P(t)=3,000,000K \int e^{Kt}dt +C$

$e^{Kt}P(t)=3,000,000K(\frac{e^{Kt}}{K})+C$

$P(t)=3,000,000+Ce^{-Kt}$

But P(0) = 0, so C = -3,000,000

and P(50) = 1,500,000

so

$e^{-50K}=\frac{1}{2}\Rightarrow K=-\frac{log(0.5)}{50}=0.0138$

And the equation that models the number of people (in millions) who become aware of the product by time t is

$P(t)=3,000,000-3,000,000e^{0.0138t}$
