Given :

A = 25000

P = 20000

r % = 9.6 % = 0.096

n = 12

To Find :

The time taken say t.

Solution :

We know, compound interest is given by :

$A=P(1+\dfrac{r}{n})^{n.t}$

Taking log both sides :

$A=P(1+\dfrac{r}{n})^{n.t}\\\\log\ \dfrac{A}{P}= n.t\times log( 1+\dfrac{r}{n})\\\\t =\dfrac{1}{n}\times \dfrac{log\ \dfrac{A}{P}}{log(1+\dfrac{r}{n})}\\\\\\t=\dfrac{1}{12}\times \dfrac{log\ \dfrac{25000}{20000}}{log(1+\dfrac{0.096}{12})}\\\\\\t=2.33\ years$

Hence, this is the required solution.

4 is the answer! Because if you have 10 slices of pizza and you ate 40% of it you need to divide 40 by 10 and you get 4 as your answer!!!

Suppose that the regression equation y = 16.99 + 0.32 x1 + 0.41 x2 + 5.31 x3 predicts an adult’s height (y) given the individual

umka21 [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the regression equation

$y = 16.99 + 0.32 x_1 + 0.41 x_2 + 5.31 x_3$

predicts an adult’s height (y) given the individual’s mother’s height (x1), his or her father’s height (x2), and whether the individual is male (x3 = 1) or female (x3 = 0).

The coefficient of x1 = 0.32 represents the increase in height of the child due to one inch increase in mother.

Similarly coefficient of x2 = 0.42 represents the increase in height of the child due to one inch increase in father.

and coefficient of x3 = 5.31 represents the increase in height of the child due to being a male than a female.

The product of two consecutive positive integers is 1,332. Explain how you can write and solve a quadratic equation to find the

taurus [48]

Product of two consecutive integer so this mean that x and y but y = x+1 than

x(x+1)=1332

x^2 +x -1332 =0 so bc. you get 36*37=1332 and 37x-36x=x so you can rewriting this quadratic factorized completlie

x^2 +x -1332 = 0

(x+37)(x-36)=0

x+37=0

x=-37 so the larger integer result that will be 37

The lengths of text messages are normally distributed with an unknown population mean. A random sample of text messages is taken

anygoal [31]

Answer:

95% of the text messages have length between 23 units and 47 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

The lengths of text messages are normally distributed.

95% confidence interval:

(23,47)

Thus, we could interpret the confidence interval as:

About 95% of the text messages have length between 23 units and 47 units.

By Empirical rule for a normally distributed data, about 95% of data lies within 2 standard deviations of mean , thus we can write:

$\mu - 2\sigma = 23\\\mu +2\sigma = 47\\\Rightarrow \mu = 35\\\Rightarrow \sigma = 6$

Thus, the mean length of text messages is 23 units and standard deviation is 6 units.

Suppose you are climbing a hill whose shape is given by the equation z = 1300 − 0.005x2 − 0.01y2, where x, y, and z are measured

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

ascend

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a couple of ways to figure this. One is to look at the partial derivative ...

$\dfrac{\partial z}{\partial y}=-0.02y$

The sign of it is negative, so when y decreases, z increases. Going south means decreasing the y-coordinate, so moving in that direction will cause you to ascend.

Another way to figure this is to evaluate z for some small movement in the southerly direction. In the attached, we find that moving 1 m south to (120, 79, 1165.59) causes an elevation increase of about 1.6 m. Walking south causes you to ascend.

Note that this is consistent with our first result, as -0.02y = -0.02(80) = -1.6. So a change in y of -1 should cause a change in z of about (-1.6)(-1) = 1.6.
