Compound interest can be defined as the interest <em>on a deposited amount, an investment</em> that is <em>compounded based on its principal and interest rate.</em>

It will take about 3.239 years for the principal amount of $13,000 to double its initial value.

From the above question, we can deduce that we are to find the time "t"

The formula to find the time "t" in compound interest is given as:

t = ln(A/P) / r

where:

P = Principal = $13,000

R = Interest rate = 21.4%

A = Accumulated or final amount

From the question, the Amount "A" is said to be the double of the principla.

Hence,

A = $13,000 x 2

= $26,000

  • Step 1: First, convert R as a percent to r as a decimal

r = R/100

r = 21.4/100

r = 0.214 per year.

  • Step 2: Solve the equation for t

t = ln(A/P) / r

t = ln(26,000.00/13,000.00) / 0.214

t = 3.239 years

Therefore, it will take about 3.239 years for the principal amount of $13,000 to double its initial value.

Given:

m(ar QT) = 220

m∠P = 54

To find:

The measure of arc RS.

Solution:

PQ and PT are secants intersect outside a circle.

<em>If two secants intersects outside a circle, then the measure of the angle formed is one-half the positive difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs.</em>

$\Rightarrow \angle P = \frac{1}{2} (m \ ar (QT) - m \ ar (RS ))

$\Rightarrow 54 = \frac{1}{2} (220- m \ ar (RS ))

Multiply by 2 on both sides.

$\Rightarrow 2 \times 54 = 2 \times  \frac{1}{2} (220- m \ ar (RS ))

$\Rightarrow 108= 220- m \ ar (RS )

Subtract 220 from both sides.

$\Rightarrow 108-220= 220- m \ ar (RS )-220

$\Rightarrow -112= -m \ ar (RS )

Multiply by (-1) on both sides.

$\Rightarrow (-112)\times(-1)= -m \ ar (RS )\times(-1)

$\Rightarrow 112= m \ ar (RS )

The measure of arc RS is 112.

Help i need the answer idk what or how to do this
natta225 [31]
14^(7x) = 17^(-8-x)

Take the log of both sides:

7x*log 14 = -(8+x)*log 17, or 7x^log 14 = -8*log 17 - x*log 17.

Grouping the x terms, we get x(7*log 14 + log 17)= -8*log 17

Then:
              -8*log 17
x= --------------------------   (answer)
      7*log 14 + log 17

Can someone help me with these three questions?
N76 [4]

Answer:

1. =

2. <

3. <

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: When comparing decimals you always place both decimals right above each other.

1 is equal to because once you put a 0 behind the 2.1 they are both the same.

2.10

2.1    <add 0 as space holder

2 is less than because they are both negative you are looking for which one is closest to zero.

-4.5   <add 0 as place holder

-4.25   <closest to zero

3 is less than because \pi(pie) equals 3.141592654 which is less than 3.2.

3.141   <do not need to add whole decimal

3.2   <add two 0's as a placeholder
