Timothy invested $2,000 in an account earning 3.5% annual interest that is compounded continuously. How long will it take the investment to grow to $3,500?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 16 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential function for continuous growth is given by :-

[tex]P=Ae^{rt}[/tex]

, where A = initial amount, r= rate of growth and t = time.

As per given , we have

A= $2,000, =r 3.5%=0.035 and P= $3500

put these vales in equation , we get

[tex]3500=2000e^{0.035t}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{3500}{2000}=e^{0.035t}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.75=e^{0.035t}[/tex]

Taking log on both sides , we get

[tex]\ln 1.75=0.035t\\\\\Rightarrow\ t=\dfrac{\ln1.75}{0.035}=\dfrac{0.560}{0.035}=16[/tex]

Hence, it will take 16 years to grow to $3,500.

The number of weekly hours spent on a smart device varies inversely with the person's age. If a 20-year-old person spends 52 hours on their smart device each week, how many hours does a 50-year-old person spend on their smart device?

Answers

Answer:

20.8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that hours (h) varies inversely with age (a) then the equation relating them is

h = [tex]\frac{k}{a}[/tex] ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition h = 52 when a = 20, thus

52 = [tex]\frac{k}{20}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by 20 )

1040 = k

h = [tex]\frac{1040}{a}[/tex] ← equation of variation

When a = 50, then

h = [tex]\frac{1040}{50}[/tex] = 20.8 hours

A committee of 3 is to be chosen from 4 girls and 7 boys.Find the expected number of girls in a committe, if numbers are chosen at random

Answers

Answer: There is only 1 girl.

Step-by-step explanation:

As you can see the probability of choosing a girl is 4/11  out of the whole people which is 7 boys and 4 girls. And the same way the probability of choosing a boy  is 7/11 which is almost doubled the amount of girls. So to think about it, there will be more boys than girls if there is a random selection because the boys chances of getting picked is high.

Step-by-step explanation:

LCM of polynomials is:

=> Finding the factors of all the numbers and variable in the expression

=> Next, we multiply the unique numbers and the variable of the expression to find the LCM.

So, C is the correct answer.

The LCM of a set of polynomials  is the product of the prime factors that are either unique to or shared by the polynomials.  

What is LCM of polynomial?

To find the lowest common multiple (L.C.M.) of polynomials, we first find the factors of polynomials by the method of factorization and then adopt the same process of finding L.C.M.

Example : The L.C.M. of 4a2 - 25b2 and 6a2 + 15ab.

Factorizing 4a2 - 25b2 we get,

(2a)2 - (5b)2, by using the identity a2 - b2.

= (2a + 5b) (2a - 5b)

Also, factorizing 6a2 + 15ab by taking the common factor '3a', we get

= 3a(2a + 5b)

L.C.M.  is 3a(2a + 5b) (2a - 5b)

According to the question

The LCM of a set of polynomials is

 is the product of the prime factors that are either unique to or shared by the polynomials.  

(from above example we can see that )

Hence,  It is the product of the prime factors that are either unique to or shared by the polynomials.

Answers

Answer: x= -1, z=2, y= -4

Step-by-step explanation:

System of equations:

-5x - 4y - 3z= 15  +

-10x + 4y + 6z= 6

-15x         + 3z = 21  ------>  3 (-5x + z) = 7.3

-5x + z = 7

now,

-10x + 4y + 6z= 6

2(-5x + z) + 4y + 4z = 6

14 + 4y + 4z = 6

7 + 2y + 2z = 3

2y + 2z= -4

y+z=-2

Now we were using the equation: 20x + 4y + 4z = -28

20x + 4(y+z) = 20x -8= - 28

20 x = -20

x= -1

With this we can find y and z

X=-1

-5x + z = 7

z= 2

y+z=-2

y=-4

Finally we have: x= -1, z=2, y= -4

f(x) = x^2 + 2x + 1, then for what values of x, f(x)=f(x+2) step by step plz​

Answers

Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

given f(x) = x² + 2x + 1

f(x+2) = (x+2)² + 2(x+2) + 1

= x² 4x+4+2x+4+1

= x² + 6x + 9

for f(x) = f(x+2), simply equate the two expressions and solve for x

f(x) = f(x+2)

x² + 2x + 1 = x² + 6x + 9      (x² terms cancel out)

2x + 1 = 6x + 9  (subtract 1 from both sides)

2x  = 6x + 9 - 1

2x  = 6x + 8  (subtract 6x from both sides)

2x - 6x = 8

-4x = 8 (divide both sides by -4)

x = 8 / (-4)

Find the coordinates of point B on AC such that the ratio of AB to BC is 2:1.

Answers

Answer:

(-2, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Point A is at (2, -8) and point C is at (-4, 7)

Difference of coordinates:

Δx = 2 - (-4) = 6Δy = - 8 - 7 = - 15

The ratio of AB to AC is 2:1. So:

AB = 2*AC/3 and BC = AC/3

Then coordinates of point B should be 2/3 from the point A:

x = 2- 6*2/3 = 2 - 4 = -2y = - 8 - (-15)*2/3 = -8 + 10 = 2

So point B has coordinates of (-2, 2)

In the figure above, ABCD is a parallelogram
with AB = BE = EC. If the area of right triangle
BEC is 8, what is the perimeter of polygon
ABECD?​

Answers

The perimeter is 21.66

The figure is something like the one that is in the image below:

We want to find the total perimeter of the polygon ABECD

This will be:

AB + BE + EC + CD + DA

Remember that for a triangle rectangle of catheti A and B, the area is given by:

A*B/2

We know that the sides of the triangle rectangle are:

BE, EC, BC.

Because BE = EC, these can not be the hypotenuse of the triangle, then the catheti are BE and EC

Knowing that the area of the triangle rectangle is 8, we can write:

EC*BE/2 = 8

and EC = BE = x

x^2/2 = 8

x^2 = 8*2 = 16

x = √16 = 4

Then the two catheti of the triangle rectangle are 4 units long.

EC = 4

BE = 4

and we know that:

AB = BE = EC

then:

AB = 4

and because this is a rectangle, we also have:

DC = AB = 4

now we want to find the last side of the figure, AD,

Which we already know is equal to the hypotenuse of the triangle.

Remember the Pythagorean's theorem, which says that the sum of the squares of the catheti is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

Both catethus are equal to 4, then we have:

H^2 = 4^2 + 4^2 = 32

H = √32 = 5.66

then:

DA = 5.66

Now we have:

AB = BE = EC = DC = 4

DA = 5.66

Then the perimeter is:

AB + BE + EC + CD + DA

4 +  4 + 4 + 4+ 5.66 = 21.66

Bob Nale is the owner of Nale's Texaco GasTown. Bob would like to estimate the mean number of litres (L) of gasoline sold to his customers. Assume the number of litres sold follows the normal distribution with a standard deviation of 18 L. From his records, he selects a random sample of 18 sales and finds the mean number of litres sold is 56.



a. What is the point estimate of the population mean? (Round the final answer to the nearest whole number.)


The point estimate of the population mean is
litres.

Answers

Answer:

a

  The point estimate of the population mean is  [tex]\= x = 56[/tex]

b

  The 80% confidence level is  [tex]50.57 < \mu < 61.43[/tex]

c

  There is  80% confidence that the true population mean lies within the confidence interval.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  sample size is  n =  18

   The  standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma = 18 \ L[/tex]

   The  sample mean is  [tex]\= x = 56[/tex]

Generally the point estimate of the population mean is equivalent to the sample mean whose value is  [tex]\= x = 56[/tex]

Given that the confidence interval is 80% then the level of significance is mathematically represented as

      [tex]\alpha = 100 - 80[/tex]

      [tex]\alpha = 20 \%[/tex]

      [tex]\alpha = 0.20[/tex]

Next we obtain the critical value of  [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] from the normal distribution table

 The  value is   [tex]Z_{\frac{ \alpha }{2} } = 1.28[/tex]

 Generally the margin of error is mathematically evaluated as

          [tex]E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

=>       [tex]E = 1.28 * \frac{18 }{\sqrt{18} }[/tex]

=>       [tex]E = 5.43[/tex]

     Generally the 80% confidence interval is mathematically represented as

    [tex]\= x - E < \mu < \= x + E[/tex]

=>    [tex]56 - 5.43 < \mu < 56 + 5.43[/tex]

=>   [tex]50.57 < \mu < 61.43[/tex]

The  interpretation is that there is  80% confidence that the true population mean lies within the limit

Answer:

a. the probability that her pulse rate is less than 76 beats per minute is 0.5948

b. If 25 adult females are randomly​ selected,  the probability that they have pulse rates with a mean less than 76 beats per minute is 0.8849

c.   D. Since the original population has a normal​ distribution, the distribution of sample means is a normal distribution for any sample size.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Mean μ =73.0

Standard deviation σ =12.5

a. If 1 adult female is randomly​ selected, find the probability that her pulse rate is less than 76 beats per minute.

Let X represent the random variable that is normally distributed with a mean of 73.0 beats per minute and a standard deviation of 12.5 beats per minute.

Then : X [tex]\sim[/tex] N ( μ = 73.0 , σ = 12.5)

The probability that her pulse rate is less than 76 beats per minute can be computed as:

[tex]P(X < 76) = P(\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}< \dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma})[/tex]

[tex]P(X < 76) = P(\dfrac{76-\mu}{\sigma}< \dfrac{76-73}{12.5})[/tex]

[tex]P(X < 76) = P(Z< \dfrac{3}{12.5})[/tex]

[tex]P(X < 76) = P(Z< 0.24)[/tex]

From the standard normal distribution tables,

[tex]P(X < 76) = 0.5948[/tex]

Therefore , the probability that her pulse rate is less than 76 beats per minute is 0.5948

b.  If 25 adult females are randomly​ selected, find the probability that they have pulse rates with a mean less than 76 beats per minute.

now; we have a sample size n = 25

The probability can now be calculated as follows:

[tex]P(\overline X < 76) = P(\dfrac{\overline X-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}< \dfrac{ \overline X-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}})[/tex]

[tex]P( \overline X < 76) = P(\dfrac{76-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}< \dfrac{76-73}{\dfrac{12.5}{\sqrt{25}}})[/tex]

[tex]P( \overline X < 76) = P(Z< \dfrac{3}{\dfrac{12.5}{5}})[/tex]

[tex]P( \overline X < 76) = P(Z< 1.2)[/tex]

From the standard normal distribution tables,

[tex]P(\overline X < 76) = 0.8849[/tex]

c. Why can the normal distribution be used in part​ (b), even though the sample size does not exceed​ 30?

In order to determine the probability in part (b);  the  normal distribution is perfect to be used here even when the sample size does not exceed 30.

Therefore option D is correct.

Since the original population has a normal distribution, the distribution of sample means is a normal distribution for any sample size.
