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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lesya [120]
2x^{2} is a monomial (since it is all connected by multiplication) and since it is in the degree of 2, that makes it a quadratic. 

-2 is a constant (since it doesn't have variables) and it is a monomial (since it is all connected by multiplication)

3x-9 is a binomial (since it has two terms, not connected by multiplication) and since it has x in the power of 1, that makes it a linear equation.

Finally, -3x^{2} -6x + 9 is a trinomial (since it has 3 terms connected by either addition or subtraction) and since the degree of the polynomial is 2, that makes it a quadratic.
