How many years will it take for a sum of money to double at 10% compounded annually

t=7.27 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the money be p and t will be the number of years that will be needed for the money to get double.

ATQ, 2p=p*(1+0.1)^t

2=(1.1)^t

log(2)/log(1.1)=t, t=7.27

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
