y to triple?
Mathematics

Brums [2.3K]3 years ago

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.

Elimination using addition and subtraction. <br> -4x+4y=-20<br> -2x+4y=-2
goldfiish [28.3K]

I would subtract the 2nd from the first one

so -4x - -2x = -2x

4y - 4y = 0

-20 - -2 = -18


-2x = -18

now I would divide that by -2 to get the value for x

so no we have x = 9


now you just have to substitute that into one of the equations and simplify to get y


-2 X 9 + 4y = -2

-18 + 4y = -2

4y =16

y = 4

padilas [110]

The  expressions that could represent how much Leila pays in total for the model

\dfrac{107}{100}x

100 107 Option A is correct.

This is further explained below.

<h3>Which of the following expressions could represent how much Leila pays in total for the model?</h3>

The price of the model is  x

Now we are given that she also has to pay a 7  tax.

Amount of tax =7 % x

=\frac{7}{100} x

the Total cost=x+\frac{7}{100} x

=\frac{107}{100} x

In conclusion, the statement might signify Leila's overall cost for the model. \frac{107}{100} x

I am having trouble with converges and diverges<br>​
inna [77]

Answer:

d. converges, -25

Step-by-step explanation:

An infinite geometric series converges if the absolute value of the common ratio is less than 1.

Here, the common ratio is 4/5:

| 4/5 | = 4/5 < 1

So the series converges.  The sum of an infinite geometric series is:

S = a₁ / (1 − r)

where a₁ is the first term and r is the common ratio.

Here, a₁ = -5 and r = 4/5:

S = -5 / (1 − 4/5)

S = -25
