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:

61%

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of square:

=a²

=12²

=144

Area of two quarter circles:

=2(¼×π×r²)

=2(¼×π×6²)

=2×28.72

=56.55

Finding the percentage:

=(56. 55÷144)×100

=0.3937×100

=39.27

<u>subtract</u><u> </u><u>100</u><u>%</u><u> </u><u>by</u><u> </u><u>39.27</u><u>%</u><u> </u><u>to</u><u> </u><u>find</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>percentage</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>how</u><u> </u><u>much</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>shaded</u>

<u>=</u><u>100-39.27</u>

=60.73

=61 (rounded off to the nearest whole percent)

Which similarity statement is true for the triangles shown?<br><br> - ABC = DEF<br> - ABC = FED
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

I’m pretty sure it’s Triangle ABC is congruent to Triangle DEF.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you rotate Triangle DEF to where the 90 degree angle is on the bottom right, you can the compare the two triangles. You can divide 300/25, 240/20, and 180/15. They all result in 12 meaning they are congruent and similar in that way. (I’m only 90% this is right btw)

Can anyone help me with these questions i will mark you as brainliest
Aliun [14]

Answer:

X= 38

Step-by-step explanation:

A straight line is 180⁰ so we can subtract that by 133⁰ to get the degree on the inside of the triangle which is 47. You then add 47 and 95 to get 142. To get x you subtract 142 from 180
