How long does it take for an investment to quadruple in value if it is invested at 11% compounded

Mathematics
1 answer:
defon3 years ago
3 0

Let's assume we have $100 and an interest rate of 7%. For the $100 to quadruple it means that the future value would be $400. Thus, because we are talking about compounding daily we will set us the equation as follows:

100 * (1+1.07)x = 400

Then we will take 400 and divide it by 100 getting:

1.07X = 4

Now we have encountered a problem where we do not know exponent, so we will use logarithm to calculate such and transform our equation to: Log1.07(4)=X

Using our calculator we will find that it takes about 20.4895 days to quadruple the money invested under 7% interest rate compounded daily.

2nd: Using the same $100 but with the rate of 5.5% compounded continuously we will be using A=PERT formula

where:

P (principal) is equal to hypothetical $100

E (e) is a mathematical constant, which is approximately 2.718

R (rate) is the interest rate, in our case it is 5.5%

T (time) is the time required for money to grow

A (amount) is the final amount desired, which is 4 times larger of $100, thus $400

We have the following:

400 = 100 * e0.055t

400/100 = e0.055t

4 = e0.055t

Then we will apply natural log to both sides of the equations and get the following:

ln(4) = ln(e0.055t)

Since e is the base of ln(x) the equation simplifies to:

ln(4) = 0.055t

Using the calculator to find ln(4) we are getting:

1.38629 = 0.055t

Lastly find t

t = 1.38629/0.055

t = 25.20535202

Plug the answers back to the original equation to verify the answers.

1st part of the question answer: t = 20.4895

2nd part of the question answer: t = 25.20535202

The number of goals scored by a soccer team varies directly as the number of shots on goal. If the Lakeside Bears scored 4 goals
enot [183]

Since it varies directly, divide the number of shots by the number of goals:

48 shots / 4 goals = 12

This tells you they score a goal every 12 shots.

Multiply shots needed by number of goals:

12 x 3 = 36

They need 36 more shots to score 3 more goals.

djyliett [7]

Now that we’ve learned how to solve word problems involving the sum of consecutive integers, let’s narrow it down and this time, focus on word problems that only involve finding the sum of consecutive even integers.

But before we start delving into word problems, it’s important that we have a good understanding of what even integers, as well as consecutive even integers, are.

Even Integers

We know that even numbers are integers that can be divided exactly or evenly by 22. Thus, the general form of the even integer nn, is n = 2kn=2k, where kk is also an integer.

In other words, since even numbers are the multiples of 22, we can represent an even integer nn by 2k2k, where kk is also an integer. So if we have the even integers 1010 and 1616,
