The nominal value - without discounting the inflation rate - of income was $ 3000.

If the interest rate was 6%, a rule of three is enough to find the value of the original investment.

3000 - 6%

x - 100%

x = 50,000

The value of the investment was $ 50,000

In this case, the inflation rate also requires a simple calculation.

Inflation corroded $ 1000 dollars of income of $ 3000

Therefore the inflation rate will be 1000/3000 = 33.3%

Pilar is playing with a motorized toy boat. She puts the boat in a lake and it travels 400m at a constant speed. On the way back
ankoles [38]

Answer:

The trip normally takes 8 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information states that the away distance the boat traveled = 400 m

The time traveled at the same initial  speed , v₁, by the boat on the way back = 2 minutes

The increase in speed of the boat by Pilar =  10 m/min

The new speed, v₂ = v₁ + 10

The time for the return trip, t₂ = 60 seconds (1 minute) faster than time for the trip, t₁

t₂ = t₁ - 1

Therefore we have;

v₁ × t₁ = v₁×2 + v₂×(t₂-2) = 400

v₁×2 + (v₁ + 10)×(t₂-2) = 400

(v₁ + 10)×t₂ - 20 = 400

But v₁ = 400/t₁ = 400/(t₂ + 1)

Which gives;

(400/(t₂ + 1) + 10)×t₂ - 20 = 400

10×(t₂²+ 36·t₂-2)/(t₂+1) = 400

10·t₂²+ 10·t₂-420 = 0

t₂²+ t₂-42 = 0

(t₂ - 7)(t₂ + 6) = 0

t₂ = 7 minutes or -6 minutes

Given that t₂ is a natural number, we have, t₂ = 7 minutes

Whereby, t₂ = t₁ - 1, we have;

7 =  t₁ - 1

t₁ = 1 + 7 = 8 Minutes

The trip normally takes 8 minutes

Camden is going to invest $600 and leave it in an account for 12 years. Assuming the
UkoKoshka [18]

~~~~~~ \textit{Continuously Compounding Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=Pe^{rt}\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\dotfill & \$920\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill & \$600\\ r=rate\to r\%\to \frac{r}{100}\\ t=years\dotfill &12 \end{cases}

920=600e^{\frac{r}{100}\cdot 12}\implies \cfrac{920}{600}=e^{\frac{3r}{25}}\implies \cfrac{23}{15}=e^{\frac{3r}{25}}\implies \log_e\left( \cfrac{23}{15} \right)=\log_e\left( e^{\frac{3r}{25}} \right) \\\\\\ \ln\left( \cfrac{23}{15} \right)=\cfrac{3r}{25}\implies 25\cdot \ln\left( \cfrac{23}{15} \right)=3r\implies \cfrac{25\cdot \ln\left( \frac{23}{15} \right)}{3}=r \\\\\\ 3.5620\approx r\implies \stackrel{\%}{3.56}\approx r

The dashed triangle is the image of the solid triangle. The center of dilation is (−5, 7) .
adell [148]
Before dilation:
the height of the triangle is h₁ = 7 - (-1) = 8
the width of the triangle is w₁ = 7 - (-5) = 12

After dilation:
the height of the is h₂ = 9-7 = 2
the width of the triangle is w₂ = -5 - (-8) = 3

The scale factor is h₂/h₁ = 2/8 = 1/4 = 0.25
Also, the scale factor is w₂/w₁ = 3/12 = 1/4 = 0.25

Answer: The scale factor is 0.25

What would be the answer to 8x^6/ 8x^5 =?
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
In dividing two equation with variables and exponent, First you must align or rearrange the equation and group them base on their variables but don't forget the sign of each variables. Second, proceed in dividing its quantity and then subtract its exponent to the other variables having the same. So by calculating it, the answer would be  X or X^1
