Answer:
Prove what is similar?????
Answer:
6/5 or 1.2
Step-by-step explanation:
you can solve with an equation:
x : 5 = 12 : 50
x = 5 * 12 : 50
x = 6/5 (or 1.2)
or you can solve with an expression
12/50 * 5 = 6/5 (or 1.2)
Answer:
(a) A = 700×1.015^t
(b) 36.2 years
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) Each year, the account value is multiplied by (1 + 1.5%) = 1.015. Repeated multiplication is signified using an exponent. In t years, when the account has been multiplied by 1.015 t times, the account value will be ...
A = $700×1.015^t
__
(b) You want to find t when A=$1200. Logarithms are involved.
1200 = 700×1.015^t . . . . use 1200 for A
1200/700 = 1.015^t . . . . . divide by 700
log(12/7) = t×log(1.015) . . . . . take logarithms
log(12/7)/log(1.015) = t ≈ 36.2 . . . . divide by the coefficient of t
It will take about 36.2 years for the account balance to reach $1200.
The answer would be 4.301
