Answer:

At the given rate it will take 3 years and 5 months for the investment to be doubled

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the amount of time it will take an investment that earns 12.25% to double if it’s compounded continuously

We can have the exponential relation as follows;

P = I( 1 + r)^n

P is the present value, let us call this 2x as it two times the initial

I is the initial value which is x in this case

r is the interest rate = 12.25% which is same as 12.25/100 = 0.1225

n is the number of years which we want to calculate

Thus, we have

2x = x( 1 + 0.1225)^n

2 = 1.225^n

Ln 2 = n ln 1.225

n = ln 2/ln 1.225

n = 3.42

if 3.42 is the number of years, let us have 0.42 in months

That will be 0.42 * 12 = 5.04

So we are looking at the investment being doubled at 3 years and 5 months

C. You would first have to divide A by Pi, then take the square root of r, in order to get r by itself.

To start a road trip, a car encountered a traffic jam, traveling a total of m miles after the first hour and a total of m2 miles
Monica [59]
56 miles, The car traveled m miles during the first hour and m squared miles during the second hour. The ratio m/m squared = 1/7 and cross multiplying yields m squared = 7m, so m=7. This means that the total distance traveled was 7+7squared = 56 miles

In which quadrant does O lie if the following statements are true:<br> cos 0 &lt; 0 and cscO &gt; 0
Olin [163]

Answer:

2nd quadrant.

Step-by-step explanation:

\text{Given that,}~ \cos \theta < 0~ \text{and}~ \csc \theta > 0.}\\\\\text{So,}~\cos \theta ~ \text{is negative and}~ \csc \theta ~ \text{is positive.}\\\\\text{In Quadrant II, all other ratios are negative except}~ \sin \theta ~ \text{ and}~ \csc \theta.\\\\\text{Hence, the angle lies in the 2nd quadrant.}~
