A person invests 3500 dollars in a bank. The bank pays 4.75% interest compounded quarterly. To the nearest tenth of a year, how long must the person leave the money
in the bank until it reaches 5800 dollars?

9514 1404 393

  10.7 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the balance in an account earning compound interest is ...

  A = P(1 +r/n)^(nt)

where principal P is invested at annual rate r compounded n times per year for t years. We want to solve for t.

  5800 = 3500(1 +0.0475/4)^(4t)

  58/35 = 1.011875^(4t) . . .  divide by 3500 and simplify a bit

  log(58/35) = 4t·log(1.011875) . . . . take logs

  t = log(58/35)/(4·log(1.011875)) . . . . divide by the coefficient of t

  t ≈ 10.6966 ≈ 10.7

The person must leave the money n the bank for about 10.7 years for it to reach $5800.

the red lines denote the population of the bacteria after 35 hours. that would be 2,409.24. the y-intercept is the blue line which is 800 because that is the starting point. the equation used to make the graph is 800(1.032)^h, where h is the number of hours.

step-by-step explanation:

for the friend request.

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.  

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.  

yes, think i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.
