Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When the interest compounds continuously, our formula is

A(t)=Pe^{rt}

If we start with 10000 and are looking for how long, t, it takes to double, we are looking for how long it will take for our account to have 2 times 10000.  That's 20000.  Therefore, our equation is

20000=10000e^{.11t}

Divide both sides by 10000 to get

2=e^{.11t}

Take the natural log of both sides to "undo" that e:

ln(2)=ln(e^{.11t})

Again, since ln and e undo each other what we have now is

ln(2) = .11t and

\frac{ln(2)}{.11}=t so

t = 6.3 years

The data type of the recorded data is a. nominal.

In statistics, there are different types of data which includes nominal, ordinal, ratio, and interval data.

For nominal data, they are mainly used for identification and classification of variables. or simply put, they are used for labelling variables and has no numerical value attached to them.

In the example given above, each recorded choice of each person in the group would be recorded as nominal data for the sake of classification. The photographs can be labelled using letters or assigned numbers. However, these numbers are merely for identification purpose.

Therefore, the data type recorded is a. nominal.

At the fall festival, a booth is selling $5 meals and $10 meals. They sell 1000 meals in all and collect $3500. Which system of
Tamiku [17]

The system of equation that can be used to represent the number of meals sold is

x + y = 1000

5x + 10y = 3,500

Given:

Number of $5 meals sold = x

Number of $10 meals sold = y

Total number of meals = 1000

Total amount of meals = $3,500

The equations:

Quantity

x + y = 1000

Price

5x + 10y = 3,500

Therefore, the system of equation that can be used to represent the number of meals sold is

x + y = 1000

x + y = 10005x + 10y = 3,500

A line passes through the points (–5, 2) and (10, –1). Which is the equation of the line?
LenKa [72]
We have y - 2 = m(x + 5), where m = (-1 - 2)/(10 + 5) = -3/15 = -1/5;
Then y - 2 = (-1/5)(x + 5);
5y - 10 = (-1)(x + 5);
5y - 10 = -x - 5;
x + 5y - 5 = 0 is the equation of the line.
