Expert Solution
Step 1
To Evaluate: Complete the table and graph the function.
where,
time is t(in years)
Rate is r
Step 2
a. Complete the table.
r | 0.009 | 0.014 | 0.019 | 0.024 | 0.029 | 0.034 |
t | 77.016 | 49.511 | 36.481 | 28.881 | 23.902 | 20.387 |
To complete the table, we will put the value of r into the given function and get the corresponding value of t.
At r = 0.009
At r = 0.014
At r = 0.019
At r = 0.024
At r = 0.029
At r = 0.034
