This is a continuous compounded growth:

P = A . eⁿˣ, where A is the original value, P, the yielded value after a growth of 
"x" during a time = n ( n = time = 3 hours : given)

200 = 120(e)³ˣ

200/120 = (e)³ˣ

5/3 = (e)³ˣ

ln(5/3) = ln[(e)³ˣ

0.5108 = 3x.ln(e) (ln(e) = 1)

x = 0.5108/3 = 0.17
 so the HOURLY growth rate = 0.17

PLEASE HELP!!!<br><br> What is the solution set for 10 - 4x &lt; -22?
Tom [10]

Answer:

x > 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x to find the solution.

10 - 4x < -22

Subtract 10 from both sides.

-4x < -32

Divide both sides by -4. Flip the sign when dividing by negative.

x > 8.
