For her birthday, Patty's parents gave her $5,000.00 which they put into a savings account that earns 10% interest compounded continuously. When Patty started college, she withdrew the entire balance of $5,789.00 and used it to pay for tuition. How long was the money in the account?

1.465 years

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert R as a percent to r as a decimal

r = R/100

r = 10/100

r = 0.1 per year,

Then, to solve for time t, when compound interest is compounded continuously, the formula is given as:

t = ln(A/P) / r

Where

A = Amount after time t = $5,789.00

P = Principal = Initial amount = $5,00

r = 0.1

Hence,

t = ln(5,789.00/5,000.00) / 0.1

t = 1.465 years

Therefore, the money was in the account for 1.465 years

the correct answer is b) histograms can be used to exhibit the shape of distributions. this is because histograms count the frequency of each possible answer, so one is able to see which results are more common and which are less common.

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
