WRITTEN ASSIGNMENT UNIT 5

Solution 1
Compound interest
A(t)=future value with interest
t= is measured in years (20 years).
P=starting amount of the account called principal ($8 500)
r=annual percentage or interest rate (8.12%)
n = the number of compound periods in one year (12 months in a year).
A (t)= P (1 +r/n) nt
A(20) = 8500 (1+0.0812/12) (12)(20)
A= $ 42 888. 1812
A= $ 42888.18.
Simple interest formula
P*r*t
8500(0.0812)(20)
The simple interest is $13 804.00
Compound interest grows exponentially and the simple interest is a linear function.
2. Finding the inverse function of f(x)
To find an inverse function we will swap the x and y values and solve for x
X=5 (0.5)-y
Y=In(x/5)/ In(0.5)
ax=y
In(a x)= In(y)
xln(a) = ln(y)
From the graph the x intercept is the point where y=0
f-1(x)= In (0.5) In(5x)
0=In (0.5) In(5x)
In(5x)=0
5x=e0
5x=1
x=5
the x intercept is equals to (5,0).
This proves that ax =e xlna
3. The equation is
Y=1000e In(0.5)/703, 800,000t
800= 1000e In(0.5)/703, 800,000t
0.8= e In(0.5)/703, 800,000t
In(0.8)= (e In(0.5)/703, 800,000t )
In(0.8)= In(0.5)/703, 800,000t
t= 703, 800, 000 * ln(0.8)/In(0.5)

=
226 572 993
It takes 226 572 993 years to decay 20% of 1000 grams of uranium -235.
The relationship between K and T is shown below
A(t)=A0 eKt
A(t)= eKt
(1/2)= eKT
0.5=eKT
In(0.5)=In ( eKT)
kT=In(0.5)
k=In (0.5)/T
The half-life of uranium -235 is 703, 800, 00 years.
K= In 0.5/ 703, 800, 000
= -0 69314728056/703, 800, 000
=-9.8486385 * 10-10
