Answer:

  • 13

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Use formula for continuous interest:</u>

  • A = Pe^{rt}, where r- interest rate, t- time in years

<u>If A = 3P, and r = 0.085 then the equation is:</u>

  • 3P = Pe^{0.085t}
  • 3 = e^{0.085t}
  • ln 3 = 0.085t
  • 1.099 = 0.085t
  • t = 1.099 / 0.085
  • t = 12.9 ≈ 13 years

The formula for compounded continuously is A = Pe^rt where A if the final amount, P is the initial value, r is the rate and t is the length of time.

E is the constant for continuous interest.

Using the information from the problem $20 tripled would be 20x3 = $60

Now you have 60 = 20e^0.085(t)

We need to solve for t:

Divide both sides by 20:

e^0.085(t) =3

Apply the exponent rule:

0.085(t) = ln(3)

Solve for t:

T = ln(3)/0.085

T = 12.92 years. (Round off as needed)

if a 100 n weight sits on a scale in a express elevator, what will happen to the weight shown on the scale when the elevator acc
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

The phrasing of the question is weird, but the mass should not change. The scale may read higher for a moment, but once the mass is brought up to the same velocity of the elevator, it should settle back to 100.

Help I do not understand how to find the area of circles
kupik [55]
The formula for the area of a circle is a = <span>πr², r being the radius.

To tackle this problem, find the area of the square and then subtract the area if the circle:

Area of square = 20 * 20 = 400
Area of circle = </span><span>π(10)² = 100</span><span>π = 314

Area of square - area of circle = 400 - 314 = 86 m²

Hope this helps!

svlad2 [7]
A = \pi r^2
C=2 \pi r
\pi r^2 = 50.24
\pi r^2/ \pi =50.24/ \pi
r^2 = 16
r=4
C = 2 \pi r
C = 25.13
