Question 129051: If there is anyone who knows how to do this I would appreciate it if you can help me. This is due tommorrow and I am not sure where to even begin!!
Here is a question I really am lost on! I don't know what to do and am just confusing myself more. Can someone Please HelP??? In the early 1990's Iomega came out with a portable disk storage device that was capable of storing 100mb of data. There was a huge market and absolutely no competitors. For several months Iomega experienced exponential growth. If we modeled that growth using the exponential equation Growth=.05e^t where t is the number of months, then the company would double its value in 3.7 months. Unfortunately for Iomega and their shareholders, they did not realize that such growth would not continue for long. In fact, competitors began releasing their products very quickly and Iomega began experiencing logistic growth rather than exponential growth. In fact, their growth would be better modeled by the equation G=100/1+1000e^-t . This is still a nice growth, but it says that they would eventually maximize their growth at 100 times their initial size. The two groth functions intersect. That is, at some number of months .05t=G = 100/1+1000e^-t. After this time, their growth would be slower than the exponential model would predict, and eventually they would level out at a very nearly no growth. A. Your job is to find that point where the two functions intersect. You will need to use the natural log and simple algebra to solve this equation. B. How many times larger than their initial value would they be at this point? HELP!!!!!!!!!

Question 129339: Using matrix calculations, solve the following problem. Show Your Work.
A total of $50,000 is invested in three funds paying 6%, 8%, and 10% simple interest. The yearly interest is $3,700. Twice as much money is invested at 6% as invested at 10%. How much is invested in each of the funds.

set up the 3 linear equations in 3 variables
put the coefficients into a matrix
solve the matrix using any method you like
provide the solutions for x, y, and z.
I have two equations already which are:
.06x+.08y+.10z=3,700
x+y+z=50,000
How and where do I get the last equation? I am not really sure what to do with this problem from here. Can someone please help me. I have been at this all day. Thank you

Question 129959: Tutor:
Could you PLEASE help me understand the following problem? My algebra 2 teacher wrote the answer on the board and I copied it down in hopes that I could figure it out later, but apparently I can't.
Icann Flie loves to hanglide at a nearby beach. When he jumps off the escarpment he dives downward toward the water until the wind catches his hanglider, then he flies upward. Assume that his distance in feet from the water varies quadratically with the time since he started his flight. The escarpment is 105 feet above the water. Five seconds after he jumps he is 30 feet above the water. Five seconds later he is 21 feet above the water.
a. Define the variables, write the ordered pairs, and find the particular equation of this function expressing distance above the water in terms of seconds in flight.
The teacher put this on the board (sorry if it is out of order...I don't particularly know where everything goes):
x=time y=distance above water y=ab^x
(0,105) (5,30) (10,21)
y=xt^2+xt+105
answer: y=1.32t^2-21.6t+105
I understand where the teacher got the plots, but after that, I don't know what I'm doing. Log doesn't work the way I'm doing it, and I have no clue what to do with it.
