Find the time required for an investment of $6000 to triple if the interest rate of 5.5% is compounded continuously.

t ≈ 20 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is compounded continuously , we will use the compound interest formula:

A = P

Where A is the amount when tripled

P is the initial amount

r is the rate

t is the time

since the investment is tripled , it means the A = 3P.

From the question:

A = 3P

P = $6000

r = 5.5%

t = ?

Substituting into the formula , we have

3P = P , that is

3(6000) = 6000

Dividing through by 6000 , we have

3 =

Take the In of both sides in order to remove the exponential , that is

In 3 = 0.055t

divide through by 0.055

t = In 3 / 0.055

Therefore :

t = 19.97476888

t≈ 20 years

black lol

step-by-step explanation:

h

i can tell you jamal now has 3 cookies xd

tommy has 2.

this made me lol.

f(x) = - 2/3x + 5; f(5/2)

substitute 5/2 in for x:

f(5/2) = -2/3(5/2) + 5

simplify the right side:

f(5/2) = -5/3 + 5

f(5/2) = 10/3

answer:

f(5/2) = 10/3

i hope this you!
