Answer:
7 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Suri's age=17 years
Her cousin's age =c
Suri's age is 4 less than 3 times her cousin's age
4 less than 3 times her cousin's age means subtract 4 from 3 times her cousin's age
17=3c - 4
Find c which is her cousin's age
Add 4 to both sides
17+4=3c - 4 + 4
17+4=3c
21=3c
Divide both sides by 3
21/3=3c/3
7=c
Therefore,
C= 7
Her cousin's age = 7 years
You would take the 36 and divide it by the 3 then add 6
Use the given values in the compound interest formula to solve for time, n.
A is the final amount of money, $2800
P is the initial or starting amount $1900
i is the interest rate as a decimal 0.025
n is time in years since it annual.
2800 = 1900(1 + 0.025)^n
2800 = 1900(1.025)^n
2800/1900 = (1.025)^n
28/19 = (1.025)^n
take the natural log of both sides to solve for exponent.
ln(28/19) = ln(1.025^n)
power rule of logarithmic moves exponent
ln(28/19) = n*ln(1.025)
ln(28/19) / ln(1.025) = n
put into a calculator
15.7 years = n
group the 1st 2 terms and last 2 terms:
(Z63 -2z^2) + (9z-18)
factor out GCF:
z^2(z-2) + 9(z-2)
now factor the polynomial:
(z-2) (z^2+9)
