In 1626, peter minuit traded trinkets worth $24 for land on manhattan island. assume that in 2014 the same land was worth $6 trillion. find the annual rate of interest compounded continuously at which the $24 would have had to be invested during this time to yield the same amount. (round your answer to one decimal place.)

Browning labs is testing a new growth inhibitor for a certain type of bacteria. the bacteria naturally grows exponentially each hour at a rate of 6.2%. the researchers know that the inhibitor will make the growth rate of the bacteria less than or equal to its natural growth rate. the sample currently contains 100 bacteria. the container holding the sample can hold only 300 bacteria, after which the sample will no longer grow. however, the researchers are increasing the size of the container at a constant rate allowing the container to hold 100 more bacteria each hour. they would like to determine the possible number of bacteria in the container over time. create a system of inequalities to model the situation above, and use it to determine how many of the solutions are viable.

Find the solution(s) to the system of equations. select all that apply y=x^2-1 y=2x-2

Arefrigeration system at your company uses temperature sensors fixed to read celsius (°c) values, but the system operators in your control room understand only the fahrenheit scale. you have been asked to make a fahrenheit (°f) label for the high temperature alarm, which is set to ring whenever the system temperature rises above –10°c. what fahrenheit value should you write on the label?
