Answer:
- annually: 9.01 years
- monthly: 8.69 years
- daily: 8.67 years
- continuously: 8.66 years
Step-by-step explanation:
For interest compounded in discrete intervals, the formula is ...
A = P(1 +r/n)^(nt)
We want to find t for P=1 and A=2, so we have ...
2 = (1 +r/n)^(nt)
ln(2) = nt·ln(1+r/n)
t = ln(2)/(n·ln(1+r/n))
A table of values for r=0.08 is attached.
__
For continuous compounding, the formula is ...
A = Pe^(rt)
t = ln(A/P)/r = ln(2)/0.08 ≈ 8.66434 . . . . years

- continuously: 8.66 years
Answer:
15. 17.5 ft
16. XZY ~ RPQ only
Step-by-step explanation:
15. The figure shows you the height of the object is 5/6 the length of its shadow. Then the height of the tree will be (5/6)·21 ft = 17 1/2 ft.
__
16. Triangles are similar when they have all the same angles. In the given triangles, you have ...
angle X = angle R = 32° . . . . (no corresponding angle in the third triangle)
angle Z = angle P = 64°
angle Y = angle Q = 84°
The triangle vertices need to be named in the order in which they correspond, so we can say, for example, ...
triangle XZY ~ triangle RPQ
Answer:
The sales tax is $59.84.
Step-by-step explanation:
8/100 = 0.08
0.08 * 748 = 59.84
Answer:
B and D
Step-by-step explanation:
Write as a quadratic
-2x² - 3x + 5 = 0
Factor
-2x² - 5x + 2x + 5 = 0
-x(2x + 5) + 1(2x + 5) = 0
(1 - x)(2x + 5) = 0
To make the equation 0, x is either 1 or -5/2.
