When the interest on an investment is compounded continuously, the investment grows at a rate that is proportional to the amount in the account, so that if the amount present is P, then dP dt = kP where P is in dollars, t is in years, and k is a constant. If $180,000 is invested (when t = 0) and the amount in the account after 17 years is $421,136, find the function that gives the value of the investment as a function of t. (Round your value of k to two decimal places.)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

the interest rate on this investment k = 0.05 or 5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

dp/dt = kp

dp/p = k dt

now we integrate on both sides

integral dp/p = integral k dt

ln p = kt + c

p =e^kt + c

p = ce^kt

Given that p = $180,000 is invested (when t = 0)

p = ce^kt

we substitute

180000 = ce^k×0

180000 = ce^0

180000 = c × 1

c = 180,000

we substitute the value in the equation

p = 180000e^kt

now given that the amount in the account after 17 years is $421,136

i.e at t = 17 and p = 421,136

we substitute

421,136 = 180000e^17k

divide both sides by 180000

421136/180000 = 180000e^17k / 180000

e^17k = 2.3396

17k = In(2.3396)

17k = 0.8499

k = 0.04999 ≈ 0.05

therefore the interest rate on this investment k = 0.05 or 5%

k / (a+3x) = m

Then, m = k / (a+3x). This is the answer

Students in Mrs. Barnes’s class determined the probability that she will check homework on a randomly chosen day is 0.8. They also determined the probability that she will give a pop quiz when she checks homework is 0.6, and the probability that she will give a pop quiz when she does not check homework is 0.9. What is the probability that the students will have their homework checked and take a pop quiz on a randomly chosen day?

0.48
0.54
0.72
0.80

Answers

Answer:

A) 0.48

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that Mrs. Barnes does not check homework if the students take a pop quiz will be 0.77.

What is probability?

Probability means possibility. It deals with the occurrence of a random event. The value of probability can only be from 0 to 1. Its basic meaning is something is likely to happen. It is the ratio of the favorable event to the total number of events.

Mrs. Barnes’s class determined the probability that she will check homework on a randomly chosen day is 0.42.

They also determined the probability that she will give a pop quiz when she checks homework is 0.6, and the probability that she will give a pop quiz when she does not check homework is 0.9.

Then the probability that Mrs. Barnes does not check homework if the students take a pop quiz will be =

P = 0.42 x 0.6 + 0.58 x 0.9

P = 0.252 + 0.522

P = 0.774 ≈ 0.77

3x - 6x = -10 - 50

-3x = -60

x = -60/-3

x = 20

Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertically opposite angles are congruent.

6x - 10 = 3x + 50

       6x = 3x + 50 + 10

       6x = 3x + 60

6x - 3x = 60

        3x = 60

          x = 60/3

x = 20

Find the area of the curve y= f(x) = x between x = 5 and x = 10

Answers

Answer:

the area of the curve y= f(x) = x between x = 5 and x = 10

[tex]A=\frac{75}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding the area of the curve  y = f(x) = x between x = 5 and x = 10

Using the Area formula

[tex]A=\int _a^b\:f\left(x\right)dx[/tex]

As the area of curve lies between x = 5 and x = 10

so

a = 5, b = 10

so the integral expression becomes

[tex]A=\int _5^{10}xdx[/tex]

[tex]\mathrm{Apply\:the\:Power\:Rule}:\quad \int x^adx=\frac{x^{a+1}}{a+1},\:\quad \:a\ne -1[/tex]

[tex]A=\left[\frac{x^{1+1}}{1+1}\right]^{10}_5[/tex]

    [tex]=\left[\frac{x^2}{2}\right]^{10}_5[/tex]

     [tex]=\frac{1}{2}\left[10^2-5^2\right][/tex]

     [tex]=\frac{1}{2}\cdot \:75[/tex]

     [tex]=\frac{75}{2}[/tex]

Therefore, area of the curve y= f(x) = x between x = 5 and x = 10

[tex]A=\frac{75}{2}[/tex]

x = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

m<X + m<XWY + m<XYW = 180    (measures of <s of triangle add to 180)

m<X = 90

90 + m<XWY + m<XYW = 180

m<XWY + m<XYW = 90     Equation 1

m<XWY + m<VWY = 180      (linear pair)     Eq. 2

m<XYW + m<ZYW = 180      (linear pair)     Eq. 3

Add Eqs 2 & 3

m<XWY + m<VWY + m<XYW + m<ZYW = 360

m<XWY + m<VWY + m<XYW + m<ZYW = 360

According to Eq. 1, m<XWY + m<XYW = 90.

90 + m<XYW + m<ZYW = 360

Also, m<VWY = 6x & m<ZYW = 4x

90 + 6x + 4x = 360

10x = 270

x = 27

2) For 9 cows, 13 kg 500 g of food supplement are required every day.
In the same proportion, how much will be needed for 12 cows?​

Answers

Answer:

18 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use a proportion.

First, 13 kg 500 g = 13 kg + 500 g = 13 kg + 0.5 kg = 13.5 kg

Proportion:

9 cows is to 13.5 kg as 12 cows is to x

9/13.5 = 12/x

Cross multiply.

9x = 13.5 * 12

Divide both sides by 3.

3x = 4.5 * 12

Divide both sides by 3.

x = 1.5 * 12

x = 18

Answer: 18 kg
