Answer:

It will take about 27.7 years

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets talk about the compound continuous interest

- Compound continuous interest can be calculated using the formula:  

 A = P e^rt  

• A = the future value of the investment, including interest

• P = the principal investment amount (the initial amount)

• r = the interest rate  

• t = the time the money is invested for

- The formula gives you the future value of an investment,  

  which is compound continuous interest plus the  principal.  

- If you want to calculate the compound interest only, you need

 to deduct the principal from the result.  

- So, your formula is:

 Compounded interest only = Pe^(rt)  - P

* Now lets solve the problem

∵ The invest is $ 1000

∴ P = 1000

∵ The interest rate is 2.5%

∴ r = 2.5/100 = 0.025

- They ask about how long will it take to make double the investment

∴ A = 2 × 1000 = 2000

∵ A = P e^(rt)

∴ 2000 = 1000 (e)^(0.025t) ⇒ divide both sides by 1000

∴ 2000/1000 = e^(0.025t)

∴ 2 = e^(0.025) ⇒ take ln for both sides

∴ ln(2) = ln[e^(0.025t)]

∵ ln(e)^n = n

∴ ln(2) = 0.025t ⇒ divide both sides by 0.025

∴ t = ln(2)/0.025 = 27.7 years

* It will take about 27.7 years

1.Find the zeros of f(x) = x2 - 9
Marat540 [252]
So for the first one it is (x-3)(x+3) this is because it is a difference of squares so you square root the 9 and the minus you do both +and - in order to keep up the -9
The zeros are:x=3 and x=-3 ( this is because you change the sign in the bracket


the others should be pretty simple to do for number 2 its a complex
the third is a simple trinomial
and fourth is simple trinomial as well

The length of a garden can be expressed as 2X +6 feet and the width is X +7 feet what is the perimeter of the garden what is the
Virty [35]

Answer:

6x + 26 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the garden is a rectangular shape, we have four sides, where two sides are 2x + 6 feet and two sides are x + 7 feet. To find the perimeter, we add up the lengths of all four sides.

2x + 6 + 2x + 6 + x + 7 + x + 7

or

2(2x + 6) + 2(x + 7)

6x + 26

Which expression can be expanded using the binomial theorem?
kirill [66]

Answer:

The third choice:  (x² - 1)³

Step-by-step explanation:

That is the only expression that is a binomial.  Binomial means "two numbers".  For this expression, x² is one number, and -1 is the other.  Choice 1 is a monomial (one number) and choices 2 and 4 are trinomials (three numbers)
