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

Help plz I really need to pass
Tresset [83]

Answer:

2.56

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation they dive u: d = 16t^2, so in the question they said what's the distance, d, if t = 0.4

So you just have to replace t with 0.4:

d = 16t^2

d = 16(0.4)^2

d = 16(0.16)

d = 2.56

Which of the following ordered pairs represents the solution to the system of equations below?
expeople1 [14]
<span>-3x + 2y = 2  eq (1)

  7x - 3y = 7    eq (2)

Mutiply eq (1) by 3 and eq (2) by 2:

-9x + 6y = 6

14x - 6y = 14

Add th two new equations:

-9x + 14x = 6 + 14

=> 5x = 20

=> x = 20/5

=> x = 4

Now from eq (1)

-3(4) + 2y = 2

=> 2y = 2 + 12

=> 2y = 14

=> y = 14 / 2

=> y = 7

So the ordered pair is (4,7)

Answer: option B. (4,7)
