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

4b - a if a=2 b=4 find its answer
romanna [79]

Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

if b=4 and a=2, then you substitute both those values into the equation, turning (4b - a) into (4*4 - 2), then you use order of operations, meaning you multiply the 4 times the 4, which turns it into 16-2, and then subtract 2 to finally reach your answer of 14.
