Answer: Approximately 6.3876 years
When rounding to the nearest whole number, this rounds up to 7 years.
===============================================================
Work Shown:
We'll use the compound interest formula
A = P*(1+r/n)^(n*t)
where,
- A = amount of money after t years
- P = initial deposit amount or principal
- r = interest rate in decimal form
- n = compounding frequency
- t = number of years
In this case, we know that,
- A = 2P, since we want the initial amount to double. P can be any positive real number you want and it doesn't affect the answer.
- r = 0.11
- n = 4, since we're compounding 4 times a year
- t = unknown, what we want to solve for
So,
A = P*(1+r/n)^(n*t)
2P = P*(1+r/n)^(n*t)
2 = (1+r/n)^(n*t)
2 = (1+0.11/4)^(4*t)
2 = 1.0275^(4t)
Ln(2) = Ln(1.0275^(4t))
Ln(2) = 4t*Ln(1.0275)
4t*Ln(1.0275) = Ln(2)
t = Ln(2)/(4*Ln(1.0275))
t = 6.38758965414661
It takes roughly 6.3876 years for the deposit to double. If you need this to the nearest whole number, then round up to 7. We don't round to 6 because then we would come up short of the goal of doubling the deposit.
√-25
= √(25*-1) = √25 * √-1 = 5i, where i = √-1
The principal square root = 5i
Let small cups = S
Large cups = L
They bought a total of 8 cups, so S + L = 8
Rewrite as S = 8-L (1st equation)
Then you also have
$3S + $5L = $30 (2nd equation)
Replace the S in the second equation with the first equation:
$3(8-L) + $5L = $30
Simplify:
24 - 3L + 5L = 30
Combine like terms:
24+2L = 30
Subtract 24 from both sides:
2L = 6
Divide both sides by 2:
L = 3
They bought 3 large cups
Since they bought a total of 8 cups, that means they bought 5 small cups ( 8-3=5)
Large = 3 cups, Small = 5 cups
