3x-9=2x+4
3x-9+9=2x+4+9
3x=2x+13
3x-2x=2x-2x+13
x=13
Check:
3(13)-9=2(13)+4
39-9=26+4
30=30

Peter puts 8000 into a savings account that pays 6% interest, compounded continuously. After 5 years, Peter will have ( $)

guajiro [1.7K]

We have to calculate the amount of money Peter will have in his account after 5 years. Formula for the amount after t years with interest compounded continuously : A = P * e ^(rt)
We know that r = 0.06, t=5, e = 2.71 and p= $8,000
A = 8,000 * 2,718 ^(0.06 * 5) = 8,000 * 2,718 ^ (0.3) = 8,000 * 1.3488158 = 10,798.53 so the answer is 10,798.53

On a certain route, an airline carries 8000 passengers per month, each paying $70.A market survey indicates that for each $1

Answer:

The maximum revenue is $661,250.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total revenue (R) is the product between the number of passengers (N) and the price of each ticket (P), so the inicial revenue is:

R = N * P = 8000 * 70 = $560,000

For each 1$ increase in the ticket, the airline loses 50 passengers, so if we call "x" the increase in the ticket price, we have that the revenue equation will be:

R = (8000-50*x) * (70+x) = 560000 + 8000*x - 50*70*x -50x2

R = -50*x2 + 4500*x + 560000

The value of x that gives the maximum value of a quadratic function is found using the formula:

x = -b/2a

where a and b are coefficients of the quadratic equation (in our case, a = -50 and b = 4500)

So the value of x that gives the maximum revenue is:

x = -4500 / (-100) = 45

Using this value in the revenue equation, we have that the maximum R is:

R = -50*45^2 + 4500*45 + 560000 = $661,250

(To get this revenue, the ticket will cost 70+45 = $115 and there will be 8000-50*45 = 5750 passengers)
