Answer:

  C)  12y 8m

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of principal P at compound monthly at interest rate r per year is given by ...

  A = P(1 +r/12)^(12t) . . . . after t years

Here, we want to find t, so ...

  A/P = (1 +r/12)^(12t)

  log(A/P) = (12t)·log(1 +r/12)

  t = log(A/P)/(12·log(1 +r/12))

Filling in the given values, we find t to be ...

  t = log(8000/4000)/(12·log(1 +0.055/12)) ≈ 12.6315 ≈ 12 years 7.6 months

It will take about 12 years 8 months to double the money.

Write an exponential equation in the form y = ab* whose graph passes through points (2, 18) and (5, 60.75).
DochEvi [55]

Let y=ab^x, as described in the problem statement. Plugging in x=2 and x=5 gives us the equations 18=ab^2 and 60.75=ab^5. Since a,b are nonzero, we divide the second equation by the first to get \frac{27}{8}=b^3, which means that b=\frac{3}{2}, after taking the cube root. Plugging this value for b into the first equation, we now have 18=a(3/2)^2=\frac{9a}{4}. Solving gives a=8, and our desired exponential equation is \boxed{y=8\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^x}.

Solving Rational Inequalities and use sign diagram to sketch the graph. Image attached for better understanding.

Answer:

x ∈ (-∞ , -2) ∪ (1, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression is already factored. Note that for the polynomial that appears in the numerator (x-3)(x + 2) there are 2 roots:

x = 3\\x = -2

For the polynomial that appears in the denominator there is 1 root:

x = 1

Note that x = 1 does not belong to the domain of f(x) because it zeroes the denominator of the function and the division between zero is not defined.

With these three roots we do the study of signs to find out when f(x)

Observe the attached image

Note that:

(x-3) when x

(x + 2) when x

(x-1) when x

Finally, we have the solution:

x ∈ (-∞ , -2) ∪ (1, 3)
