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

A^2 + b^2 + c^2 = 2(a − b − c) − 3. (1) Calculate the value of 2a − 3b + 4c.

Verdich [7]

Answer:

$2a - 3b + 4c = 1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = 2(a - b - c) - 3$

Required

Determine $2a - 3b + 4c$

$a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = 2(a - b - c) - 3$

Open bracket

$a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = 2a - 2b - 2c - 3$

Equate the equation to 0

$a^2 + b^2 + c^2 - 2a + 2b + 2c + 3 = 0$

Express 3 as 1 + 1 + 1

$a^2 + b^2 + c^2 - 2a + 2b + 2c + 1 + 1 + 1 = 0$

Collect like terms

$a^2 - 2a + 1 + b^2 + 2b + 1 + c^2 + 2c + 1 = 0$

Group each terms

$(a^2 - 2a + 1) + (b^2 + 2b + 1) + (c^2 + 2c + 1) = 0$

Factorize (starting with the first bracket)

$(a^2 - a -a + 1) + (b^2 + 2b + 1) + (c^2 + 2c + 1) = 0$

$(a(a - 1) -1(a - 1)) + (b^2 + 2b + 1) + (c^2 + 2c + 1) = 0$

$((a - 1) (a - 1)) + (b^2 + 2b + 1) + (c^2 + 2c + 1) = 0$

$((a - 1)^2) + (b^2 + 2b + 1) + (c^2 + 2c + 1) = 0$

$((a - 1)^2) + (b^2 + b+b + 1) + (c^2 + 2c + 1) = 0$

$((a - 1)^2) + (b(b + 1)+1(b + 1)) + (c^2 + 2c + 1) = 0$

$((a - 1)^2) + ((b + 1)(b + 1)) + (c^2 + 2c + 1) = 0$

$((a - 1)^2) + ((b + 1)^2) + (c^2 + 2c + 1) = 0$

$((a - 1)^2) + ((b + 1)^2) + (c^2 + c+c + 1) = 0$

$((a - 1)^2) + ((b + 1)^2) + (c(c + 1)+1(c + 1)) = 0$

$((a - 1)^2) + ((b + 1)^2) + ((c + 1)(c + 1)) = 0$

$((a - 1)^2) + ((b + 1)^2) + ((c + 1)^2) = 0$

Express 0 as 0 + 0 + 0

$(a - 1)^2 + (b + 1)^2 + (c + 1)^2 = 0 + 0+ 0$

By comparison

$(a - 1)^2 = 0$

$(b + 1)^2 = 0$

$(c + 1)^2 = 0$

Solving for $(a - 1)^2 = 0$

Take square root of both sides

$a - 1 = 0$

Add 1 to both sides

$a - 1 + 1 = 0 + 1$

$a = 1$

Solving for $(b + 1)^2 = 0$

Take square root of both sides

$b + 1 = 0$

Subtract 1 from both sides

$b + 1 - 1 = 0 - 1$

$b = -1$

Solving for $(c + 1)^2 = 0$

Take square root of both sides

$c + 1 = 0$

Subtract 1 from both sides

$c + 1 - 1 = 0 - 1$

$c = -1$

Substitute the values of a, b and c in $2a - 3b + 4c$

$2a - 3b + 4c = 2(1) - 3(-1) + 4(-1)$

$2a - 3b + 4c = 2 +3 -4$

$2a - 3b + 4c = 1$

Rita earns $16.00 per hour. If she gets a 3% raise, what will be her new hourly wage?

Vikentia [17]

All percentages can be expressed as fractions or decimals. To find a percentage of a number, we multiply the percentage with the number. In this case:
3/100 * 16/1 = 48/100 = 0.48
Or:
0.03 * 16 = 0.48
Her new hourly wage would be $16.48

= 1/2 (u+v)t

RoseWind [281]

The distance travelled by an object is 50 m.

<h3>What is Distance?</h3>

The distance between two points is the length of the path connecting them.

Here, given equation of distance

S = 1/2 (u + v)t

Where s is the distance traveled by an object (in meters)

initial velocity u (in m/s)

final velocity v (in m/s).

t in seconds.

Now, given values are;

u = 8 m/s ; v = 12 m/s ; t = 5 sec.

S = 1/2 (8 + 12)5

S = 1/2 (20)5

S = 100/2

S = 50 m.

Thus, the distance travelled by an object is 50 m.
