An employee wants to invest ​$50,000 in a pension plan. One investment offers 4​% compounded quarterly. Another offers 3.75​% compounded continuously.
​(a) Which investment will earn more interest in 4 ​yr?
​(b) How much more will the better plan​ earn?

Answers

Answer 1

Using compound interest and continuous compouding, it is found that:

a) The investment at 4% compounded quarterly will earn more interest in 4 years.

b) The better plan will earn $537 more.

What is compound interest?

The amount of money earned, in compound interest, after t years, is given by:

[tex]A(t) = P\left(1 + \frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}[/tex]

In which:

A(t) is the amount of money after t years. P is the principal(the initial sum of money). r is the interest rate(as a decimal value). n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year.

In this problem, the parameters are: P = 50000, r = 0.04, n = 4, t = 4, hence the amount will be of:

[tex]A(t) = P\left(1 + \frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}[/tex]

[tex]A(4) = 50000\left(1 + \frac{0.04}{4}\right)^{4 \times 4}[/tex]

A(4) = $58,629.

What is the continuous compounding formula?

It is given by:

[tex]A(t) = Pe^{rt}[/tex]

In this problem, this option has r = 0.0375, hence:

[tex]A(4) = 50000e^{0.0375 \times 4} = 58092[/tex]

Then:

Item a:

The investment at 4% compounded quarterly will earn more interest in 4 years.

Item b:

58629 - 58092 = $537.

The better plan will earn $537 more.

9. 124°

Step-by-step explanation:

Because all triangles add up to 180°, the sum of all interior angle will add up to 180°.

8) 94 + 39 = 133

180 - 133 = 47

47° is the measure of the unknown interior angle, but we need the exterior and all straight lines are 180° angles, so we need to subtract.

180 - 47 = 133°

9)

81 + 43 = 124

180 - 124 = 56 (interior angle)

180 - 56 = 124° (exterior angle)

the diagonal of a rectangular garden measures 111/4m while it's width measures 63/4m . Calculate the perimeter of the garden

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonal of a rectangular garden forms a hypotenuse with the width and length sides.  We can use the Pythogorean Theorem to calculate the remaining side.

Let W, L, and H stand for the Width, Length, and Hypotenuse, all in meters.

W^2 + L^2 = H^2

Enter the data:

(63/4)^2 + L^2 = (111/4)^2

248.06 + L^2 = 770.06

L^2 = 522

L = 22.847 meters

Perimeter is 2W + 2L

Perimeter = 2(63/4) + 2(22.847)

Perimeter = 77.19 meters

Answers

Answer:

the 1st, 2nd and 6th statements are true.

and probably the 3rd statement is true.

I am not sure about the 3rd statement, as I cannot read the original in your screenshot, and your transcribed description is probably not correct and contains typos.

but all you need is in the explanation below to decide, if the actual 3rd statement is true or not.

if "58 + 79 = 1268" actually means "5s + 7g = 1268" then it is true. otherwise it is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

g = number of general tickets sold

s = number of student tickets sold

so, in total

g + s = 234

tickets were sold.

and the revenue was

7g + 5s = $1,268

out of these 2 basic equating we get

g = 234 - s

and then

7(234 - s) + 5s = 1,268

1,638 - 7s + 5s = 1,268

-2s = -370

s = 185

g = 234 - s = 234 - 185 = 49

so, we know

185 student tickets were sold for 5×185 = $925

49 general tickets were sold for 7×49 = $343

B ) 324 3 cm^2

C ) 648 3 cm ^2

D ) 1296 3 cm ^2


Answers

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

i took the test and got a 100% so ys that the answer.

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

"lateral" means "belonging to the side".

so, the lateral area of a square pyramid (or any kind of pyramid or other 3-D structure, really) is the sum of the areas of its side faces.

so, in essence we have to calculate the area of one of the side triangles, and then multiply it by 4, as the other 3 are equal (due to the fact that the base is a square, and we are clearly dealing with a regular, symmetric pyramid).

each of the side triangles is an isoceles triangle (both legs are equal long, therefore both side angles are equal too).

that means both side angles are 60° each.

and because we know that the sum of all angles in a tingle is always 180°, the angle at the top is

180 - 60 - 60 = 60°

hey, all 3 angles are the same !

that means the triangle is not only isoceles but equilateral (all 3 sides are equally long).

and that means all sides are 18 cm long.

the area of a triangle can be calculated for our scenario in 2 major ways :

1. baseline × height / 2

2. Heron's formula (since we know all 3 sides) :

A = sqrt(s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)), s = (a+b+c)/2

I don't know which one your teacher wants you to use.

so,

1.

the height we get via Pythagoras

leg² = (baseline/2)² + height²

18² = (18/2)² + height²

324 = 81 + height²

81×4 = 81 + height²

81×3 = height²

height = sqrt(81×3) = 9×sqrt(3)

the area of the triangle is

18 × 9 × sqrt(3) / 2 = 9 × 9 × sqrt(3) = 81×sqrt(3) cm²

2.

s = (18+18+18)/2 = 54/2 = 27

A = sqrt(27(27-18)(27-18)(27-18)) =

= sqrt(9×3×9×9×9) = 3×3×3×3×sqrt(3) = 81×sqrt(3) cm²

the total lateral area is then

4×81×sqrt(3) = 324×sqrt(3) = 561.1844617... cm²

oh, I see, i think you did not include the square root in the answer options. that is confusing.

but as you can see, option B must be correct.

What will the balance be after 10 years if $1500 is invested at 1.5% interest compounded continuously?

Answers

Is the interest compounded annually?

Answer:

A = $1,742.75

A = P + I

Where

P is the principal (1,500.00)

I is the interest (242.75)

Steps:

First, convert R as a percent to r as a decimal

r = R/100

r = 1.5/100

r = 0.015 rate per year,

Then solve the equation for A

[tex]A = Pe^{rt}\\A = 1,500.00(2.71828)^{(0.015)(10)}\\A = $1,742.75[/tex]

Summary:

The total amount with compound interest on a principal of $1,500.00 at a rate of 1.5% per year compounded continuously over 10 years is $1,742.75.

(−5, 41)
(−5, 56)
(−5, 76)
(−5, 91)

Answers

Considering the definition of axis of symmetry and vertex of a quadratic function, the correct answer is the first option: the coordinates of the vertex of the graph is (-5,41).

Quadratic function

The general form of a quadratic function is f(x  = ax²+ bx+ c, whose graph is a parabola.

Axis of symmetry and vertex of a quadratic function

Quadratic functions have a maximum (if a<0) or a minimum (if a>0). This point is the vertex of the parabola.

That is, the vertex of a quadratic equation or parabola is the highest or lowest point on the graph corresponding to that function. The vertex is in the plane of symmetry of the parabola; anything that happens to the left of this point will be an exact reflection of what happens to the right.

In other words, the vertex divides the graph into two halves that are mirror images of each other, so that the axis of symmetry always passes through the vertex.

Vertex of f(x) = −x² − 10x + 16

In this case, you know that the axis of symmetry for the function is x = −5.

So the vertex on the x-axis has a value of -5. To calculate the value of the vertex on the y-axis, you must substitute the value of the vertex on the x-axis in the function:

f(-5) = −(-5)² − 10×(-5) + 16

Solving:

f(-5)= 41

In summary, the correct answer is the first option: the coordinates of the vertex of the graph is (-5,41).
