Answer:

133.33 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Principal = $500

Interest rate (r) = 1.5% = 0.015

Triple amount of principal = $500 * 3 = $1500 = final amount (A)

Number of years (t) =?

Using the relation :

A = P(1 + rt)

1500 = 500(1 + 0.015t)

1500 / 500 = 1 + 0.015t

3 = 1 + 0.015t

3 - 1= 0.015t

2 = 0.015t

2 / 0.015 = 0.015t / 0.015

133.333 = t

which of these is an example of a discrete random variable 1) hours worked at job, weight of a child, number of siblings, length

lozanna [386]

Answer:

hours worked at job, number of siblings are examples of discrete random variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Discrete random variable has values that can be counted. It has finite data that does not change continuously.

Hours worked at a job can be counted at the end of the day.

The weight of a child keeps changing continuously therefore it is not a discrete random variable.

Number of siblings can be counted.

The length of a fish can keep changing day by day therefore it is not a discrete random variable.

Use Euler's method with step size 0.2 to estimate y(1), where y(x) is the solution of the initial-value problem y' = x2y − 1 2 y

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

Euler's method is a numerical method used in calculus to approximate a particular solution of a differential equation. As a numerical method, we have to apply the same procedure many times, until get the desired result.

In first place, we need to know all the values the problem is giving:

The step size is 0.2; h = 0.2. This step size is a periodical increase of the x-variable, which will allow us to calculate each y-value to each x.
The problem is asking the solution y(1), which means that we have to find the y-value assigned for x = 1, through the numerical method.
The initial condition is y(0) = 9. In other words, $x_{o} = 0\\y_{0}=9$ .

So, if the initial x-value is 0, and the step size is 0.2, the following x-value would be: $x_{1}=0.2$ ; then $x_{2}=0.4$ ; $x_{3} =0.6; x_{4} =0.8;x_{5} =1$ ; and so on.
