It will take 15 years for the population to quadruple

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for continuously compounding rate is  A=Pe^{rt} , where

  • A is the future amount
  • P is the initial amount
  • r is the interest as a decimal
  • t is the time in years

Assume that the initial population is P

∵ The initial population = P

∵ The growth rate = 9% ⇒ compounded continuously

∴ r = \frac{9}{100} = 0.09

∵ The population will quadruple in t years

∴ A = 4P

- Substitute these values in the formula

∵ A=Pe^{rt}

∴ 4P=Pe^{(0.09)t}

- Divide both sides by P

∴ 4=e^{0.09t}

- Insert ㏑ to both sides

∴ ㏑(4) = ㏑( e^{0.09t} )

∵ ㏑( e^{n} ) = n

∴ ㏑ (4) = 0.09 t

- Divide both sides by 0.09

∴ t = 15.4

∴ t = 15 years to the nearest whole number

It will take 15 years for the population to quadruple

One copy of a new book by Amanda's favorite author cost $9.45. If a total of 2,740 copies of the book were sold on the first day
Arisa [49]
Without taking out the cost that would be given to the author and publisher it would be $25,893, you just multiply 9.45 by 2,740

Search cos jk and tan jk knowing that sin jk = 8/3
aleksley [76]

Answer:

cosjk = √55 i/3

tanjk = 8/√55 i

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

sin jk = 8/3

According to SOH CAH TOA

Sin theta = opposite/hypotenuse = 8/3

Opposite = 8

hypotenuse = 3

Get the adjacent using the pythagoras theorem

hyp² = opp²+adj²

adj² = hyp² - opp²

adj² = 3² - 8²

adj² = 9-64

adj² = -55

adj = √-55

adj = √55 i (i = √-1)

Get cosjk

cosjk = adj/hyp

cosjk = √55 i/3

Get tanjk

tanjk = opp/adj

tanjk = 8/√55 i

Helpp me asapp with this problem plss will crown brainiest !!!!
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Since RT bisects QRS

1/2  QRS = TRS

1/2 ( 9x+214) = -9x+53

Multiply each side by 2

9x +214 = -18x+ 106

Add 18x from each side

9x +214+18x = 106

27x +214 = 106

Subtract 214 from each side

27x = 106-214

27x =-108

Divide by 27

27x/27 = -108/27

x = -4

TRS = -9x+53

     =-9 *-4 +53

     = 36+ 53

    =89
