This is an exponential decay problem.
Using the equation Y = a *(1-rate)^time
where Y is the future value given as 12,000 and a is the starting value given as 13,000.
The rate is also given as 5%.
The equation becomes:
12,000 = 13,000(1-0.05)^x
12,000 = 13,000(0.95)^x
Divide each side by 13000:
12000/13000 = 0.95^x/13000
12/13 = 0.95^x
Use the natural log function:
x = ln(12/13) / ln(0.95)
x = 1.56 years. ( this will equal 12,000
Round to 2 years it will be less than 12000.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find the rational number which is equal to 
.
Let 
....eqn(1)
Multiply both sides by 10
.....eqn (2)
Subtract eqn (1) from eqn (2)
Divide both sides by 9.
The area of a triangle is A = (b*h)/2:
(5 * 8)/2 = 20
Answer:
400
Step-by-step explanation:
You would multiply 40 by 10=400
