a) The future value, principal plus interest, with compound interest on a principal of $8,704.56 at a rate of 4% per year compounded 2 times per year over 8 years is <u>$11,949.50</u>.

b) The future value, principal plus interest, with compound interest on a principal of $8,704.56 at a rate of 4% per year compounded continuously over 8 years is <u>$11,987.29</u>.

<h3>How is the future value determined?</h3>

The future value can be determined using an online finance calculator.

Data and Calculations:

<h3>a) Compounded Semiannually:</h3>

Principal (P): $8,704.56

Annual Rate (R): 4%

Compound (n): Compounding Semi-Annually

Time (t in years): 8 years

<u>Result</u>:

A = $11,949.50

A = P + I where

P (principal) = $8,704.56

I (interest) = $3,244.94

<h3>Calculation Steps:</h3>

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

r = R/100

r = 4/100

r = 0.04 rate per year,

Then solve the equation for A

A = P(1 + r/n)nt

A = 8,704.56(1 + 0.04/2)(2)(8)

A = 8,704.56(1 + 0.02)(16)

A = $11,949.50

<h3>b) Compounded Continuously:</h3>

Using the formula A = Pert

Principal (P):  $8,704.56

Annual Rate (R): 4%

Compound (n): Compounding Continuously

Time (t in years):   8 years

<u>Result</u>:

A = $11,987.29

A = P + I where

P (principal) = $8,704.56

I (interest) = $3,282.73

<h3>Calculation Steps:</h3>

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

r = R/100

r = 4/100

r = 0.04 rate per year,

Then solve the equation for A, using the mathematical constant, e = 2.71828

A = Pert

A = 8,704.56(2.71828)(0.04)(8)

A = $11,987.29

Thus, while the future value of $8,704.56 at a rate of 4% per year compounded semiannually over 8 years is <u>$11,949.50</u>,  the future value of $8,704.56 at a rate of 4% per year compounded continuously over 8 years is <u>$11,987.29</u>.

a machine paints 340 toy boats in 45 minutes. Which expression equals the unit rate per hour? A: 3/4/340. B: 45/350 C: 340/3/4 D
monitta

340 in 0.75 hours. Divide both sides by 0.75, therefore 340/0.75 in 0.75/0.75 hour.
So 453.33 in one hour.(453.33 units per hour)

Hope it helps! :D

For this case we have that by definition, the volume of a rectangular prism is given by:

V = A_ {b} * h

Where:

A_ {b}:It is the area of the base of the prism

h: It is the height

A_ {b} = w * l

Where:

w: is the width

l: is the length

According to the data of the statement we have:

w = 16 \ in\\l = 4h\\V = 4,096 \ in ^ 3

Substituting the data we have:

A_ {b} = 16 * 4h = 64h\\64h * h = 4,096\\64h ^ 2 = 4,096\\h ^ 2 = \frac {4096} {64}\\h ^ 2 = 64\\h = \pm \sqrt {64}\\

We choose the positive value: h = 8

So the height is8 \ in

Answer:

8 \ in
