Answer:

It will take about 7.3 years for his money to triple.

Step-by-step explanation:

Identify the variables in the formula.

A = 150,000

P = 50,000

r = 0.15

t = ?

A = Pe^rt

Substitute the values into the formula.

150,000 = 50,000e^0.15*t

Solve for t. Divide each side by 50,000.

3 = e^0.15*t

Take the natural log of each side.

ln 3 = ln e^0.15*t

Use the power property and then simplify.  

ln 3 = 0.15*t ln e

ln 3 = 0.15-t

Divide each side by 0.15.

(ln 3) /(0.15) = t

Approximate the answer.

t ≈ 7.3

Help me find the slope to these points<br> (2,5) and (8, -4)
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

slope = -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line passing through the two points P=(x1,y1) and Q=(x2,y2) is given by m=y2−y1/x2−x1.

We have that x1=2, y1=5, x2=8, y2=−4.

Plug the given values into the formula for slope: m= (-4)-(5)/ (8)-(2) = -9/6 = -3/2

the slope of the line is m = -3/2

Please solve this geometry equation with the work ! for 40 points and brainliest
topjm [15]

Answer:

D. 16 times.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a cylinder = π r^2 h

π r^2 h = 432

Now if the diameter is reduced by 1/4 then the radius is reduced by a fourth also.

Let the new height be H, then:

432 = π (r/4)^2 H

so π r^2 h = π(r/4)^2 H

r^2 h = r^2 H / 16

h = H/16

H = 16h.
