So, adding two rationals is the same as adding two such fractions, which will result in another fraction of this same form since integers are closed under addition and multiplication. Thus, adding two rational numbers produces another rational number.

Compound interest In Exercise,$3000 is invested in an account at interest rate r,compounded continuously.Find the time required

xenn [34]

Answer:

(a) 8.15

(b) 12.92

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: P = $3000, r = 0.085

$A = Pe^{rt}$

Where

A is the Amount

P is the Principal

r is the rate

t is the time

(a) For the amount to double, A = 2 × P

A = 2 × $3000

A = $6000

$6000 = 3000e^{0.085t}$

$\frac{6000}{3000} = e^{0.085t}$

$2 = e^{0.085t}$

Take $log_{e}$ of both sides

$log_{e}2 = log_{e}e^{0.085t}$

But $log_{e}e = 1$

∴ $ln2 = 0.085t$

$t = \frac{ln2}{0.085}$

$t = \frac{0.693}{0.085}$

t = 8.15

(b) For the amount to double, A = 3 × P

A = 3 × $3000

A = $9000

$9000 = 3000e^{0.085t}$

$\frac{9000}{3000} = e^{0.085t}$

$3 = e^{0.085t}$

Take $log_{e}$ of both sides

$log_{e}3 = log_{e}e^{0.085t}$

But $log_{e}e = 1$

∴ $ln3 = 0.085t$

$t = \frac{ln3}{0.085}$

$t = \frac{1.0986}{0.085}$

t = 12.92

The graph of a function f(x) is shown below:<br><br><br><br> What is the domain of f(x)?

Pie

The domain is the scope of the x values. In this case (-2,-1) is a hole, so x>-2 is one end of the domain, while (3,3) is defined. So the domain using interval notation is (-2,3] which can also be expressed -2 < x ≤ 3, answer option 1
