Answer:

As per the given statement: A straight road rises at an inclination of 0.3 radian from horizontal.

⇒Inclination\theta = 0.3 \text{radian}.

The slope is given by:

m =\tan \theta

Substitute the given value we have;

m = \tan (0.3)

m = 0.30933624961

Let Δx represents the change in horizontal distance and  Δy represents the change in vertical distance.

Slope is also defined as the change in vertical distance to the change in horizontal distance.

i.,e  m = \frac{\triangle y}{\triangle x}                     .....[1]

It is given that change in elevation over a one mile section of the road

⇒Δx = 1

Substitute the  value of Δx = 1 and m = 0.30933624961  in [1] we have;

0.30933624961 = \frac{\triangle y}{1}

or

\triangle y = 0.30933624961 mile.

Therefor, the slope is, 0.30933624961 and change in elevation over a one mile section of the road is, 0.30933624961 mile

If $5200 is invested at a rate of 8.6% compounded quarterly, how long will it take, to the nearest hundredth of a year, until th
dexar [7]

Answer:

t= 9.43\ years

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that    

The compound interest formula is equal to  

A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}  

where  

A is the Final Investment Value  

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested  

r is the rate of interest  in decimal

t is Number of Time Periods  

n is the number of times interest is compounded per year

in this problem we have  

t=?\ years\\ P=\$5,200\\ r=8.6\%=8.6\100=0.086\\n=4\\A=\$11,600  

substitute in the formula above

11,600=5,200(1+\frac{0.086}{4})^{4t}  

11,600=5,200(1.0215)^{4t}  

(11,600/5,200)=(1.0215)^{4t}  

Applying log both sides

log(11,600/5,200)=log(1.0215)^{4t}  

applying property of logarithms

log(11,600/5,200)=(4t)log(1.0215)  

t=log(11,600/5,200)/[(4)log(1.0215)]

t= 9.43\ years
