Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for compound annual interest is A = P(1 + r)t where
A = Accumulated or final amount (double $500 = $1000)
P = Principal or original amount ($500)
r = Rate as a decimal (0.08)
t = Time in years
1000 = 500(1 + 0.08)t
2 = 1.08t
Take the logarithm of both sides. I prefer the natural logarithm ln, but if you're more comfortable with base 10 logs they will work just as well
ln(2) = ln(1.08t)
ln(2) = t*ln(1.08)
t = ln(2)/ln(1.08)
t = 9.0065 years
Check: 500*1.089.0065 = $1000
Answer:
- -7.5x -12.5, x < -1
- 7.5x +2.5, x ≥ -1
Step-by-step explanation:
The absolute value function changes slope at its vertex. Here, that vertex is translated to x = -1. To the left of that point, the function is equivalent to one that negates its argument:
|x| = -x . . . for x < 0
|x| = x . . . for x ≥ 0
<u>for (x+1) < 0</u>
y = -7.5(x +1) -5 = -7.5x -12.5
<u>for (x+1) ≥ 0</u>
y = 7.5(x +1) -5 = 7.5x +2.5
This means we can write the piecewise function as ...

Answer:
18x
Step-by-step explanation:
4x+3=7x
2x+9=11x
7+11x=18x
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
For the first one, revenue - cost = profit. We have equations for revenue and profit, so filling in:

Let's add cost to both sides to make it positive and bring everything on the right over to the left and combine like terms:

For the second one:
P(x)*T(x) = 
Distribute the 3x into everything inside the parenthesis to get

For the second part of that problem, C(x)*P(x) = 
Distribute the x into everything first to get:

The distribute the -4 into everything to get:

Combine the like terms and put everything together to get
