Calculate the time it would take $7000 dollar investment to earn $1400 of simple interest at a rate of 4% per annum.

5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the simple interest formula:  

I = p x r x t  

Where:  

I = interest  

P = Principal Amount  

r = Interest Rate (decimal form)  

t = years

Replacing with the values given  

1400 = 7000x (4/100) x t

Solving for t:

1400 =7000 x 0.04 x t

1400 =280 t

1400/280 =t

t = 5 years

step-by-step explanation:

the formula of a slope:

from a table we have

substitute:

the slope of f(x) is -1.

the graph of funcfion g(x) is a horizontal line. the slope of a horizontal line is equal 0. therefore the slope of g(x) is 0.

-1 < 0
