We have been given that you invest $100,000 in an account earning 8% interest compounded annually. We are asked to find the time it will take the amount to reach $300,000.

We will use compound interest formula to solve our given problem.

A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}, where,

A = Final amount after t years,

P = Principal amount,

r = Annual interest rate in decimal form,

n = Number of times interest is compounded per year,

t = Time in years.  

8\%=\frac{8}{100}=0.08

300,000=100,000(1+\frac{0.08}{1})^{1\cdot t}

300,000=100,000(1.08)^{t}

\frac{300,000}{100,000}=\frac{100,000(1.08)^{t}}{100,000}

3=(1.08)^{t}

(1.08)^{t}=3

Let us take natural log on both sides of equation.

\text{ln}((1.08)^{t})=\text{ln}(3)

Using natural log property \text{ln}(a^b)=b\cdot \text{ln}(a), we will get:

t\cdot \text{ln}(1.08)=\text{ln}(3)

\frac{t\cdot \text{ln}(1.08)}{\text{ln}(1.08)}=\frac{\text{ln}(3)}{\text{ln}(1.08)}

t=\frac{1.0986122886681097}{0.0769610411361283}

t=14.274914586

Upon rounding to nearest tenth of year, we will get:

t\approx 14.3

Therefore, it will take approximately 14.3 years until the account holds $300,000.

Which set of ordered pairs is not a functions?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

X values cannot repeat in a function, 3 is used as an X value twice in A, and therefore cannot be a function.

If this is graphed, you can use the vertical line test, if a vertical line on any point goes through other points, it is not a function.

In this case, just check if X repeats.

Suppose that the auto loans from a bank are normally distributed with a mean of $23,334 and a standard deviation of 3,412. what
UkoKoshka [18]
To illustrate the information in the correct syntax:
X~N(23334, 3412²)
What we're being asked to find is P(X ≤ 26000).
In order to do this, we need to convert this value into one we can look up on the table for the standard normal distribution (Z).
To do this we use the formula:
Z = (X - μ)/σ
Z = (26000 - 23334)/3412 = 0.7813599... ⇒ 0.78
We can say:
P(X ≤ 26000) = P(Z ≤ 0.78) = 0.7823
