Which of the following are theories? Select all that apply. A. Detergent type does not affect how well a t-shirt stain is removed.
B. Earth's crust is divided into plates that are in constant motion.
C. The rate of plant growth is dependent on how much light is present.
D. If a bucket of water is left uncovered, then it will evaporate faster.
E. All matter consists of tiny particles called atoms.

A

Explanation:

Because b,c,d can be proven

while a is not proven

9.9 years

a = p(1 + rt) . . account balance after time t at rate r starting with principal p

3000 = 2500(1 + 0.0202t) . . filling in the given numbers

1.2 = 1 + 0.0202t . . divide by 2500

0.2 = 0.0202t . . . subtract 1

0.2/0.0202 = t ≈ 9.901

it will take about 9.9 years for the account balance to reach $3000.
