First account:P = $1850, the principalr = 2.6%, the interest raten = 1, the compounding interval
Second account:P = $2015r = 1.5%n = 1
Let x = the number of years for both accounts to attain the same value.Then1850(1 + 0.026)ˣ = 2015(1 + 0.015)ˣ1.026ˣ = 1.0892(1.015ˣ)(1.026/1.015)ˣ = 1.08921.0108ˣ = 1.0892
Take logarithms of both sides.x ln(1.0108) = ln(1.0892) x = ln(1.0854)/ln(1.0108) = 7.95 ≈ 8 years
Answer: 8 yrs

Serena is hitting golf balls at the driving range. When she hit a ball with her 9-iron, it stopped x yards in front of the 100-y
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

100-x represents the distance that Serena hit with her 9-iron. 2(100-x) represents the distance she can hit using her driver.

When the distance is given for the 9-iron, use the distributive property to find the simplified equation, so it will be much easier to solve after you are given the information on the 9-iron. Unsolvable without 9-iron distance.

The random variable X is exponentially distributed, where X represents the waiting time to see a shooting star during a meteor s
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

The parameters of the exponential distribution is 0.0133.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential distribution is a continuous probability distribution.

The density function of exponential distribution is,  

f _{X}(x)=\theta \cdot e^{-\theta\cdot x},\ x\geq 0

Here the parameter θ is the reciprocal of the mean of the random variable <em>X</em>.

The random variable <em>X</em> has an average value of 75 seconds.

Compute the parameters of the exponential distribution as follows:

\theta=\frac{1}{\mu}\\\\

  =\frac{1}{75}\\\\=0.013333333333\\\\\approx 0.0133

Thus, the parameters of the exponential distribution is 0.0133.

different sizes of regular pentagons are used in a stained glass window.each small pentagon has side lengths of 4 inches and an
Liula [17]
The goal is to find the area of a pentagon with side length 8.

We can find the area of a pentagon very easily by splitting it up into 10 congruent right triangles with the apothem as the height. The base of one of these triangles would be 4. The base angle would be 54 degrees, because it's half of the angle of a regular pentagon.

Using trig we find that the height of this triangle/apothem of the pentagon is equal to 4tan(54 degrees), which is about 5.506.

The area of a triangle is bh/2, so...4*5.506/2 = 11.011 in².
Times 10 triangles is 110.11 in².

One of the factors of the polynomial x3 − 5x2 is x + 3. What is the other factor?
blondinia [14]

Answer:

C. x² − 8x + 24 − 72/(x+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

See attached picture for long division method.

Logically, we know x³ − 5x² factors to x² (x − 5).  Since x + 3 isn't a factor, we know the remainder isn't 0.  So we can narrow the options down to A or C.

One way to find the remainder is through long division.  Or, since this is multiple choice, we multiply the options by x + 3 and see which one results in an answer of x³ − 5x².

(x + 3) (x² − 8x + 24 − 72/(x+3))

(x + 3) (x² − 8x + 24) − 72

x³ − 8x² + 24x + 3x² − 24x + 72 − 72

x³ − 5x²
