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)

9-8x² The degree of the polynomial is​
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

1. For polynomial 2x2 - 3x5 + 5x6.

We observe that the above polynomial has three terms. Here the first term is 2x2, the second term is -3x5 and the third term is 5x6.

Now we will determine the exponent of each term.

(i) the exponent of the first term 2x2 = 2

(ii) the exponent of the second term 3x5 = 5

(iii) the exponent of the third term 5x6 = 6

Since, the greatest exponent is 6, the degree of 2x2 - 3x5 + 5x6 is also 6.

Therefore, the degree of the polynomial 2x2 - 3x5 + 5x6 = 6.

2. Find the degree of the polynomial 16 + 8x – 12x2 + 15x3 - x4.

We observe that the above polynomial has five terms. Here the first term is 16, the second term is 8x, the third term is – 12x2, the fourth term is 15x3 and the fifth term is - x4.

Now we will determine the exponent of each term.

(i) the exponent of the first term 16 = 0

(ii) the exponent of the second term 8x = 1

(iii) the exponent of the third term – 12x2 = 2

(iv) the exponent of the fourth term 15x3 = 3

(v) the exponent of the fifth term - x4 = 4

Since, the greatest exponent is 4, the degree of 16 + 8x – 12x2 + 15x3 - x4 is also 4.

Therefore, the degree of the polynomial 16 + 8x – 12x2 + 15x3 - x4 = 4.
