Describe the error in evaluating the power: (0.4)^2=2(0.4)=0.8 PLEASE HELP ME!!!

2 answers:

6 0

(0.4)² = (0.4).(0.4) = 0.16

His error is, instead of raising (0.4) to exponent 2, he multiplied (0.4) by 2 , obviously which is wrong

At a restaurant, three salads, two sandwiches, and one drink cost $17.75. One salad, one sandwich, and three drinks cost $10.75.

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

A salad costs $2.50

A sandwich costs $4.50

A drink costs $1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the salad, y represent the sandwich, and z represent the drink.

Since three salads, two sandwiches, and one drink cost $17.75:

3x + 2y + z = 17.75 (1)

Since one salad, one sandwich, and three drinks cost $10.75:

x + y + 3z = 10.75 (2)

Since a salad costs twice as much as a drink:

x = 2z (3)

Multiply the equation 2 by -2 then, sum the equation 1 and equation 2:

-2x - 2y - 6z = -21.50

3x + 2y + z = 17.75

→ x - 5z = -3.75

Replace the x with 2z using equation 3:

2z - 5z = -3.75

-3z = -3.75

z = 1.25

x = 2z → x = 2.50

x + y + 3z = 10.75 → 2.50 + y + 3.75 = 10.75 → y + 6.25 = 10.75 → y = 4.50

3. You want to have $4000 in your savings account after 2 years. Find the amount you should deposit for each of the situations d

pychu [463]

Answer:

Part A)

About $3767.34.

Part B)

About $3692.47.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A)

Recall that compound interest is given by the formula:
$\displaystyle A = P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}$

Where A is the final amount, P is the initial amount, r is the interest rate, n is the number of times compounded per year, and t is the number of years.

To obtain $4000 after two years, let A = 4000 and t = 2.

Because the account pays 3% interest compounded monthly, r = 0.03 and n = 12.

Substitute and solve for P:

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned} (4000) & = P\left(1+\frac{(0.03)}{(12)}\right)^{(12)(2)} \\ \\ P & = \frac{4000}{\left(1+\dfrac{(0.03)}{(12)}\right)^{(12)(2)}} \\ \\ & \approx \$3767.34\end{aligned}$

In concluion, about $3767.34 should be deposited.

Part B)

Recall the formula for continuous compound:

$\displaystyle A = Pe^{rt}$

Where e is Euler's number.

Hence, let A = 4000, r = 0.04 and t = 2. Substitute and solve for P:

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned}(4000) & = Pe^{(0.04)(2)} \\ \\ P & = \frac{4000}{e^{(0.02)(4)}} \\ \\ & \approx \$3692.47 \end{aligned}$

In conclusion, about $3692.47 should be deposited.
