Answer:

a = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

4/a + 4 = -1/a + 9

-1(a + 4) = 4(a + 9)

-1a - 4 = 4a + 36

-5a - 4 = 36

-5a = 40

Compound interest of $1000 is invested at 10% compounded continuously, the future value s at any time t in years is given by s=1

crimeas [40]

Answer: 6.93 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Rate of interest is $r=10\%$

Future value is given by $s=1000e^{0.1t}$

For the investment to double itself, i.e. $s=2000$

$\Rightarrow 2000=1000e^{0.1t}\\\Rightarrow 2=e^{0.1t}\\\\\text{Taking log both sides}\\\\\Rightarrow \ln 2=0.1t\\\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{\ln 2}{0.1}\\\\\Rightarrow t=6.93\ \text{years}$

It takes around 6.93 years to double the investment.

Solve for x. 3x ^2 -4 = 8

LenKa [72]

Answer:

x = ±2

Step-by-step explanation:

3x ^2 -4 = 8

Add 4 to each side

3x ^2 -4+4 = 8+4

3x^2 =12

Divide each side by 3

3x^2 =12

3x^2/3 = 12/3

x^2 = 4

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = ±sqrt(4)

x = ±2
