Answer:

The interest rate is 7.58%

Step-by-step explanation:

Compound continuous interest can be calculated using the formula:

A = Pe^{rt}, where

  • A is the future value of the investment, including interest
  • P is the principal investment amount (the initial amount)
  • r is the interest rate  in decimal
  • t is the time the money is invested for

∵ Angus has $3,000 he want to invest

∴ P = 3000

∵ The interest rate is compounded continuously

∵ Angus has $5,500 in 8 years

∴ A = 5500

∴ t = 8

→ Substitute them in the rule above to find r

∵ 5500 = 3000e^{8r}

→ Divide both sides by 3000

∴ \frac{11}{6} = e^{8r}

→ Insert ㏑ in both sides

∵ ㏑( \frac{11}{6} ) = ㏑(e^{8r})

→ Remember ㏑(e^{n}) = n

∴ ㏑( \frac{11}{6} ) = 8r

→ Divide both sides by 8

∴ 0.07576697545 = r

→ Multiply it by 100% to change it to a percentage

∴ r = 0.07576697545 × 100%

∴ r = 7.576697545 %

→ Round it to the nearest hundredth

∴ r ≅ 7.58

∴ The interest rate is 7.58%

The distance from Fort Worth to Fresno is 1,530 miles. If a cyclist maintains an average speed of 17 miles per hour, how many ho
Tju [1.3M]

The time take for the cyclist to travel from Fort Worth to Fresno is 90 \ hours

Explanation:

It is given that the distance from Fort Worth to Fresno is 1,530 miles.

The average speed of the cyclist is 17 miles per hour.

The time travelled by the cyclist can be determined using the formula,

Distance=Speed \times Time

Substituting the value of distance and speed, we get,

1530=17\times Time

Dividing both sides by 17, we get,

90 =Time

Thus, the time take for the cyclist to travel from Fort Worth to Fresno is 90 \ hours
