Answer:

D. About 24 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Compounding is the means the future value of an amount saved today while discounting means the present value of a future amount.

In other words, we discount to know the present value of $1 in the future while we compound to know the future worth of $1 saved today.

Let the value of the investment be x. if it is expected to double in n years then using the compound interest formula

fv = pv(1 + r)^n

where fv and pv are the future and present values respectively and n is the time, r is the growth rate

2x = x(1 + 0.03)^n

2 = (1.03)^n

log 2 = log (1.03)^n

= n log 1.03

n = log 2/ log 1.03

n = 23.44

This is approximately 24 years hence option D is right

Find the standard form of the equation of the parabola with the given characteristics

lord [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard equation of a parabola is

y² = 4ax

where, a is the focus,

The coordinates of the centre of parabola is (0,0)

coordinates of focus is (a, 0)

It is symmteric about the x axis

the equation of directrix is x = -a.

Using the method of completing the square, put each circle into the form

tatiyna

Answer:

Standard form: $(x-\frac{1}{2})^2 + (y-0)^2 = 15$

Center: $(\frac{1}{2}, 0)$

Radius: $r =\sqrt{15}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle in the standard form is

$(x-h)^{2} + (y-k)^{2} = r^{2}$

Where the point (h, k) is the center of the circle

To transform this equation $4x^{2} -4x + 4y^{2} - 59 = 0$ this equation in the standard form we use the method of square.

First, we group similar variables

$(4x^{2} -4x) + (4y^{2}) - 59 = 0$

Divide both sides of equality by 4

$(x^{2} -x) + (y^{2}) - 14.75 = 0$

Now we complete square for variable x.

Take the coefficient "b" that accompanies the variable x and divide by 2. Then, elevate the result to the square:

$b =-1\\\\\frac{b}{2}= \frac{-1}{2}= -\frac{1}{2}\\\\(\frac{b}{2})^2= (-\frac{1}{2})^2 = \frac{1}{4}$

Now add $(\frac{b}{2})^2$ on both sides of the equality

$(x^{2} -x +\frac{1}{4}) + (y^{2}) - 14.75 = (\frac{1}{4})$

Factor the expression and simplify the independent terms

$(x-\frac{1}{2})^2 + (y^{2}) = 15$

$(x-\frac{1}{2})^2 + (y-0)^2 = 15$

Then

$h =\frac{1}{2}\\\\k=0$

and the center is $(\frac{1}{2}, 0)$

radius $r =\sqrt{15}$
