Answer: 16,940 from interest.
Explanation: The cost of it is 28,000 and when you figure out what 5.5% of that is it will come to be 1,540. Next you multiply 1,540 by the 11 years so it would come to 16,940.
Pretty difficult problem, but that’s why I’m here.
First we need to identify what we’re looking for, which is t. So now plug 450k into equation and solve for t.
450000 = 250000e^0.013t
Now to solve this, we need to remember this rule: if you take natural log of e you can remove x from exponent. And natural log of e is 1.
Basically ln(e^x) = xln(e) = 1*x
So knowing this first we need to isolate e
450000/250000 = e^0.013t
1.8 = e^0.013t
Now take natural log of both
Ln(1.8) = ln(e^0.013t)
Ln(1.8) = 0.013t*ln(e)
Ln(1.8) = 0.013t * 1
Now solve for t
Ln(1.8)/0.013 = t
T= 45.21435 years
Now just to check our work plug that into original equation which we get:
449999.94 which is basically 500k (just with an error caused by lack of decimals)
So our final solution will be in the 45th year after about 2 and a half months it will reach 450k people.
B. is the answer if you look closely
The linear equation that is perpendicular to the line x+3y=21 is:
y = 3*x - 6
<h3>How to find the equation of the line?</h3>
A general line in the slope-intercept form is written as:
y = m*x + b
Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Two linear equations are perpendicular if the product between the two slopes is equal to -1.
Rewriting the given line we can get:
x +3y = 21
3y = 21 - x
y = 21/3 - x/3
y = (-1/3)*x + 21/3
Then the slope is (-1/3), if our line is perpendicular to this one, then:
m*(-1/3) = -1
m = 3
our line is:
y = 3*x + b
To find the value of b, we use the fact that our line passes through (1, - 3)
-3 = 3*1 + b
-3 - 3 = b
-6 = b
The line is y = 3*x - 6
