Answer:

The interest rate is 20%.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate the interest rate, we need to compute how many percents the value he recieves is related to the total he invested. In this case he recieves 40 every year and he invested 200, to calculate that we will apply a rule of three. We have:

$200 -> 100%

$40 -> x%

200/40 = 100/x

200*x = 40*100

200*x = 4000

x = 4000/200 = 20

The interest rate is 20%.

Step 1:

a) Write the quadratic model

a = -15.64

b = -1.24

c = 5.23

$P(t)=-15.64t^2\text{ - 1.24t + 5.2}3$

b) t = 0.30

$\begin{gathered} P(t)=-15.64t^2\text{ - 1.24t + 5.2}3 \\ =\text{ -15.64 }\times0.3^2\text{ - 1.24}\times\text{ 0.3 + 5.2}3 \\ =\text{ -1.4076 - 0.372 + }5.23 \\ =\text{ 3.45} \end{gathered}$

c) t = 0.52 seconds

$\begin{gathered} p(t)=-15.64t^2\text{ - 1.23t + 5.23} \\ =\text{ -15.64}\times0.52^2\text{ - 1.23}\times0.52\text{ + 5.23} \\ =\text{ -4.23 - 0.64 + 5.23} \\ =\text{ 0.36} \end{gathered}$

d) 0.30 is more likely to be relaible.

$\begin{gathered} p(t)\text{ = 1} \\ p(t)=-15.64t^2\text{ - 1.23t + 5.23} \\ 1=-15.64t^2\text{ - 1.23t + 5.23} \\ -15.64t^2\text{ - 1.23t + 4.23 = 0} \\ t\text{ = 0.48222} \\ \text{t = 0.48 seconds} \end{gathered}$

A number increased by 3 and then multiplied by 5 is at least -10. What are the three lowest natural number values this can be?

Vilka [71]

Step-by-step explanation:

It is impossible for the number values of this number to be a natural number since natural numbers are defined as being positive integers while the number "x" has to be less than -5 to satisfy the equation.
