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>.

Hello please help me! There are 3 questions, I will give brainliest!
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

1) There are 13 students in Jerry's study.

2) There are 39 students in Kathy's study.

3) Jerry's study is more trustworthy!

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Jerry's study is the one with the dot plot.

Now, the number of students is calculated by adding the total number of dots in the plot.

We have a total of 13 dots.

Thus, there are 13 students in Jerry's study.

2) Kathy's study is the one with the histogram.

The total number of students is gotten by adding the corresponding number of students on the y-axis for each range of distance on the x-axis.

Total number of students = 9 + 11 + 7 + 12 = 39 students

3) Jerry's study where he used a dot plot is likely to be more trustworthy because it gives exact values of the number of students for each distance represented whereas, Kathy's study where she used a histogram doesn't give exact values but just gives a range of distances for a particular number of people.

The vertex of the parabola below is at the point (1, 5), and the point (2, 8) is on the parabola. What is the equation of the pa
N76 [4]

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

the parabola having (1,5) as vertex have as equation:

y=k*(x-1)²+5

It is passing through (2,8)

8=k*(2-1)²+5 ==> k+5=8 ==> k=3

equation is  y=3(x-1)²+5

Answer B
