Answer:

6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

6 inches burns at rate .8 inches in 1 hour

The function f(t)=1900(1. 4)^t
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

Increasing by 40%

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a exponentional function. The format for this type of function is a(b)^x. So "a" is your initial value, and "b" is the rate. Now let's think to ourselves what times what is still equal to the same thing? That is 1. But in our question, we have 1.4. So we are increasing by 0.4, or 40%.

How to Become a Millionaire Upon graduating from col- lege, Donna has no initial capital. However, during each year she makes de
lesantik [10]

Answer:

amount is 1000 × e^{0.08t}

$40762.20 balance of Donna's account will be 1 million dollars when she retires in 40 years

rate 14.97 %  when Donna's account will have a balance of 1 million dollars in 40 years when principal is $2500

Step-by-step explanation:

principal = $1000

rate = 8 % = 0.08

to find out

the future value, S(t)

principal when Donna's account will be 1 million dollars when she retires in 40 year

at what rate Donna's account will have a balance of 1 million dollars in 40 years

solution

we know compounded continuously formula i.e.

amount = principal × e^{rt}    ..................1

put the value principal and rate in equation 1 to find amount any time

amount = principal × e^{rt}

amount = 1000 × e^{0.08t}

in 2nd part we have time 40 year and amount 1 million so put rate amount and time in equation 1  to find principal

rt = 0.08 × 40 = 3.2

amount = principal × e^{rt}

1000000 = principal × e^{3.2}

principal = 1000000 / e^{3.2}

principal = 1000000 / 24.5325302

principal = 40762.20397

so $40762.20 balance of Donna's account will be 1 million dollars when she retires in 40 years

in 3rd part we have amount 1 million and principal $2500 and time 40 year put all these in equation 1 to find rate

amount = principal × e^{rt}

1000000 = 2500 × e^{40r}

take ln both side

ln e^{40r} =  ln (1000000 / 2500 )

40 r = ln 400

r = ln (400) / 40

r = 0.149787

so rate 14.97 %  when Donna's account will have a balance of 1 million dollars in 40 years when principal is $2500

How do I solve this equation: -5/6b + 3/4 = 1/2b - 2/3 ?
Gre4nikov [31]
First get like things on the same side:
-5/6b - 1/2b= -2/3 - 3/4

Then find equivalent fractions to make the equation easier to solve.
-5/6b - 3/6b= -8/12 - 9/12

Then just add things together and solve.
-8/6b= -17/12
-8b= 6(-17/12)
-8b= -17/2
b= (-17/2)/-8
b= 17/16

You can then plug the answer back into the original question to make sure it is the correct answer.
