Answer:

Part 1) [tex]r=3.5\%[/tex]  

Part 2) [tex]t=6\ years[/tex]

Part 3) [tex]21.9\ ft[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) we know that

The formula to calculate continuously compounded interest is equal to

[tex]A=P(e)^{rt}[/tex]  

where  

A is the Final Investment Value  

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested  

r is the rate of interest in decimal  

t is Number of Time Periods  

e is the mathematical constant number

Let

x -----> amount of money to be invested

2x ---> Final Investment Value

we have  

[tex]t=20\ years\\ P=\$x\\A=\$2x\\r=?[/tex]  

substitute in the formula above  

[tex]2x=x(e)^{20r}[/tex]  

[tex]2=(e)^{20r}[/tex]  

Apply ln both sides

[tex]ln(2)=ln[(e)^{20r}][/tex]  

[tex]ln(2)=(20r)ln(e)[/tex]  

[tex]ln(2)=(20r)[/tex]  

[tex]0.693=(20r)[/tex]  

[tex]r=0.693/20[/tex]  

[tex]r=0.035[/tex]  

[tex]r=3.5\%[/tex]  

Part 2) we know that

The formula to calculate continuously compounded interest is equal to

[tex]A=P(e)^{rt}[/tex]  

where  

A is the Final Investment Value  

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested  

r is the rate of interest in decimal  

t is Number of Time Periods  

e is the mathematical constant number

Let

x -----> amount of money to be invested

2x ---> Final Investment Value

we have  

[tex]t=?\ years\\ P=\$x\\A=\$2x\\r=0.126[/tex]  

substitute in the formula above  

[tex]2x=x(e)^{0.126t}[/tex]  

[tex]2=(e)^{0.126t}[/tex]  

Apply ln both sides

[tex]ln(2)=ln[(e)^{0.126t}][/tex]  

[tex]ln(2)=(0.126t)ln(e)[/tex]  

[tex]ln(2)=(0.126t)[/tex]  

[tex]0.693=(0.126t)[/tex]  

[tex]t=0.693/0.126[/tex]  

[tex]t=5.5=6\ years[/tex]

Part 3) we have

[tex]f(x)=18.4+2.5ln(x+1)[/tex]

where

f(x) -----> is the long jump record in feet

x -----> the number of years since the school was opened

so

For x=3 years

substitute

[tex]f(3)=18.4+2.5ln(3+1)[/tex]

[tex]f(3)=18.4+2.5ln(4)[/tex]

[tex]f(3)=18.4+2.5(1.386)[/tex]

[tex]f(3)=21.9\ ft[/tex]
