Answer:

20 years

Step-by-step explanation:

We start by writing an exponential equation;

FV = PV( 1 + r)^t

FV is the future value = 1,000,000

PV is present value = 372,000

r is rate = 5% = 5/100 = 0.05

t is time which we are looking for

1,000,000 = 372,000(1 + 0.05)^t

1.05^t = 1,000,000/372,000

1.05^t = 2.688

t ln 1.05 = ln 2.688

t = ln 2.688/ln 1.05

t = 20 years

Graph the line represented by the equation.

harina [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

first you need to put the equation in y=mx+b form

y-3=(-1/2)(x+4)

y-3= (-1/2x)+4

y=-1/2x+1

then you just graph

the y intercept is 1 and the slope is -1/2 so it’s going to be a negative graph and it starts from 1 on the y axis

The sum of the speeds of two trains is

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

Train 1: 368 mph

Train 2: 358.1 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write 2 equations to represent this problem.

$x+y=726.1$

$x=9.9+y$

The x represents the first train and the y represents the second train.

We can plug in x into the first equation.

$(9.9+y)+y=726.1$

$9.9+2y=726.1$

$2y=716.2$

$y=358.1$

Now that we know our y, we can find our x.

$x=9.9+y$

$x=9.9+358.1$

$x=368$
