If the slope of a wheelchair ramp is 1/12 then what is the angle of inclination to the nearest tenth of a degree?

4.8 degrees to the nearest tenth.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope = rise / run = opposite side / adjacent side.

So the angle of inclination is the angle whose tangent is 1/12.

To the nearest tenth of a degree it is 4.8 degrees.

We have been given that a person places $6340 in an investment account earning an annual rate of 8.4%, compounded continuously. We are asked to find amount of money in the account after 2 years.

We will use continuous compounding formula to solve our given problem as:

, where

A = Final amount after t years,

P = Principal initially invested,

e = base of a natural logarithm,

r = Rate of interest in decimal form.  

Upon substituting our given values in above formula, we will get:

Upon rounding to nearest cent, we will get:

Therefore, an amount of $7499.82 will be in account after 2 years.
