Answer:

  14,201 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The two compound interest formulas are ...

  A = P·e^(rt) . . . . . continuous compounding at rate r for t years

  A = P·(1 +r/365)^(365t) . . . . . daily compounding at rate r for t years

We went the amounts to be equal:

  1000·e^(0.07t) = 1100·(1+0.07/365)^(365t)

Dividing by 1000(1 +0.07/365)^(365t), we have ...

  ((e^0.07)/(1+0.07/365)^365)^t = 1.1

The base of the exponential on the left is ...

 ( e^0.07)/(1+0.07/365)^365 ≈ 1.00000671149321522

Taking logs, we have ...

  t×ln(1.00000671149321522) = ln(1.1)

  t = ln(1.1)/ln(1.00000671149321522) ≈ 0.09531018/(6.7114704·10^-6)

  t ≈ 14,201.09 . . . . . years

It will take about 14,201 years for the investments to be equal.

<em>Additional comment</em>

The investment value at that time will be about $5.269·10^434. (That's a larger number than <em>anything</em> countable in the known universe, including energy quanta.)

These calculations are beyond the ability of many calculators, so might need to be carefully rewritten if the calculator only keeps 10 significant digits, or only manages exponents less than 100.

This shows that daily compounding is very close in effect to continuous compounding. It would take almost 150 years to make a difference of 0.1% in value.

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

-6 and -10 are the answers.

This is because these numbers are less than -5, so they would work when plugged in for h in the inequality.

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

6x + 9y - 12 = 0 \\ 6x + 9 \times 0  - 12 = 0 \\ 6x + 0 - 12 = 0 \\ 6x - 12 = 0 \\ 6x  = 12 \\ x = 2

The reproduction function for a sardine is f(p) = −0.0005p2 + 4p, where p and f(p) are in hundred metric tons. Find the populati
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Population (p) = 4,000 hundred metric tons

Size of the yield (f(p)) = 8,000 hundred metric tons

Step-by-step explanation:

The population of sardines 'p', for which the derivate of the function f(p) is zero, is the population that gives the maximum sustainable yield:

f(p) = -0.0005p^2 + 4p\\\frac{df(p)}{dp}=-0.0010p+4\\-0.0010p+4 =0\\p=4,000

The size of the maximum sustainable yield is:

f(p) = -0.0005p^2 + 4p\\f(4,000) = -0.0005(4,000^2) + 4*4,000\\f(4,000) = 8,000

Population = 4,000 hundred metric tons

Size of the yield = 8,000 hundred metric tons

How many mor barrel of gasoline than diesel were produced last year
algol [13]

Answer:

3 million barrels

Step-by-step explanation:

Total crude oil=60 million barrels

gasoline 34% diesel 29% total crude oil -60 million barrel · =0.34 times 60

Diesel=20,400,000 and gasoline=17,400,000

Quantity of gasoline = 34% of total crude oil

=0.34 times 60 =20.4

Quantity of diesel = 29% of total crude oil

=0.29 times 60 { million barrels}

Clearly, Quantity of gasoline is more than Quantity of diesel

difference = Quantity of gasoline-Quantity of diesel

20.4 -17.4 milion barrels

Therefore,

The production of gasoline is 3 million barrels more than diesel last year.
