Use the formula for simple interest to find the interest rate if a deposit of $1400 earned $490 of interest after 5 years,

1 answer:

7 0

Given the simple interest formula:

I = P•R•T

where:
I = interest
P = principal
R = interest rate
T = time (in years)

We can isolate R algebraically to find out the interest rate:

I = P•R•T

Divide both sides by P•T:

I / (P•T) = (P•R•T)/(P•T)

The formula for the interest rate is:
R = I / (P•T)

Substitute the given values into this formula to solve for the interest rate (R):

R = I / (P•T)

R = $490/ ($1,400 • 5 years)
R = $490 / $7,000
R = 0.07 or 7%

Therefore, the interest rate is 7%.

Answer: $\bold{a)\ P(t)=P_o\cdot e^{t\cdot ln(2.7)}}$

b) 5314

c) ln 2.7

d) 4.6 hrs

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

$P(t) = P_o\cdot e^{kt}\\\\\bullet \text{P(t) is the number of bacteria after t hours} \\\bullet P_o\text{ is the initial number of bacteria}\\\bullet \text{k is the rate of growth}\\\bullet \text{t is the time (in hours)}\\\\\\270=100\cdot e^{k(1)}\\2.7=e^k\\ln\ 2.7=\ln e^k\\\boxed{ln\ 2.7=k}\\\\\text{So the equation to find the number of bacteria is: }\boxed{P(t)=P_o\cdot e^{t\cdot ln(2.7)}}\\\\\\P(4)=100\cdot e^{4\cdot ln(2.7)}\\.\qquad =\boxed{5314}$

$10,000=100\cdot e^{t\cdot ln(2.7)}\\100=e^{t\cdot ln(2.7)}\\ln\ 100=ln\ e^{t\cdot ln(2.7)}\\ln\ 100=t\cdot ln(2.7)\\\dfrac{ln\ 100}{ln\ 2.7}=t\\\\\boxed{4.6=t}$

find the point-slope equation of the line perpendicular to the line y=2x+5 passing through the point (1,4). (please include solu

pishuonlain [190]

First off, let's keep in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, hmmm so what's the slope of y = 2x + 5?

well, notice, that equation is in slope-intercept form, thus $\bf y=\stackrel{slope}{2}x+5$ .

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}}
{2\implies \stackrel{slope}{\cfrac{2}{1}}\qquad \qquad \qquad \stackrel{reciprocal}{\cfrac{1}{2}}\qquad \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{-\cfrac{1}{2}}}$

so, we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is -1/2 and runs through 1,4.

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})\qquad \qquad \qquad 
slope = m\implies -\cfrac{1}{2}
\\\\\\
% point-slope intercept
\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-4=-\cfrac{1}{2}(x-1)$
