Angus has $3,000 he want to invest. What interest rate compounded continuously does an account need to offer so that Angus has $

5,500 in 8 years?
Mathematics

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%

Julio bought 4 pencils and 3 erasers for $0.37 and David paid $0.33 for 3 pencils and 4 erasers. What is the cost of one pencil?
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

Each pencil costs $0.07 and each eraser costs $0.03

Step-by-step explanation:

System of linear equations

It refers to the study of systems when n variables are related in m linear equations, each one is not independent from the others. Solving such systems can be done following very diverse approaches.  

Let p=the price of each pencil while e is the price each eraser

Julio bought 4 pencils and 3 erasers, spending

4p+3e=0.37

David bought 3 pencils and 4 erasers, spending

3p+4e=0.33

The system of equations is written in the form

\left\{\begin{matrix}4p+3e=0.37\\ 3p+4e=0.33\end{matrix}\right

We'll solve it by reduction. Multiplying the first equation by -3 and the second by 4:

\left\{\begin{matrix}-12p-9e=-1.11\\ 12p+16e=1.32\end{matrix}\right.

Adding both equations:

7e=0.21  

e=0.03

Multiplying the first one by -4 and the second by 3

\left\{\begin{matrix}-16p-12e=-1.48\\ 9p+12e=0.99\end{matrix}\right.\end{matrix}\right.

Adding both equations:

-7p=-0.49

p=0.07  

Solution: Each pencil costs $0.07 and each eraser costs $0.03
