Answer:

It takes 22.52 years for the balance to triple in value.

Step-by-step explanation:

Continuous compounding:

The amount of money earned using continuous compounding is given by the following equation:

A(t) = A(0)(1+r)^t

In which A(0) is the initial amount of money and r is the interest rate, as a decimal.

Interest rate of 5%.

This means that r = 0.05, and thus:

A(t) = A(0)(1+r)^t

A(t) = A(0)(1+0.05)^t

A(t) = A(0)(1.05)^t

Time for the balance to triple?

This is t for which A(t) = 3A(0). So

A(t) = A(0)(1.05)^t

3A(0) = A(0)(1.05)^t

(1.05)^t = 3

\log{(1.05)^t} = \log{3}

t\log{1.05} = \log{3}

t = \frac{\log{3}}{\log{1.05}}

t =  22.52

It takes 22.52 years for the balance to triple in value.

Lisa [10]

Answer:

16 packages

Step-by-step explanation:

5 2/5 + 2 1/4  Use the common denominator of 20

5 8/20 + 2 5/20  

7  13/20

I know that I will need 14 packages for the 7 pounds.  For the fraction part, 10/20 would be half, so I would need to buy a half pound for that, but I need 13/20 which would be more than a half pound, so I will need to buy 2 more pounds for the fraction part.

14 + 2 = 16

igomit [66]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance from B to C is the same as the distance from A to D. Points B and C will both have the same x-value, as do points A and D. Points B and C will have the same difference in y-values (2 -(-2) = 4) that points A and D have.

The distance from B to C is 4 units.
