The borrower owes $14,760.82 at the end of 8 years

What is compounding interest?

Compounding interest means that earlier interest would earn more interest in the future alongside the loan principal.

Note that in this case the loan continues to accumulate interest because there no repayments, in other words, the loan balance after 8 years, which comprises of the principal and interest for 8 years can be computed using the future value formula of a single cash flow(the single cash flow is the principal) as shown thus:

FV=PV*(1+r/n)^(n*t)

FV=loan balance after 8 years=unknown

PV=loan amount=$5,000

r=annual interest=14%

n=number of times in a year that interest is compounded=2(twice a year)

t=loan period=8 years

FV=$5000*(1+14%/2)^(2*8)

FV=$5000*(1.07)^16

FV=$5000*2.95216374856541

FV=loan balance after 8 years=$14,760.82

At the end of the night, Pizza Inn has of a pizza left. The 4 employees each took home the same amount of

Zina [86]

Answer:

Each employee took home 1/4 of pizza each.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Picture a pizza as being a full 100%.

2. Since each employee took home the same amount of pizza, you need to divide the pizza equally by 4. 100 ÷ 4 = 25 this also equals 25/100

3. To reduce the fraction 25/100, you have to find a number that both the numerator and denominator can be divided by.

4. In this scenario, 25/100 can both be divided by 25.

5. 25 ÷ 25 = 1 100 ÷ 25 = 4

6. Therefore the final answer is each employee took home 1/4 of the pizza.

If f(x)=3 x -1 and g(x)=0.03x^3-x+1 an approximate solution for the equation f(x)=g(x) is

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

x ≈ {-11.789, +0.501, 11.288}

Step-by-step explanation:

The cubic g(x) - f(x) = 0 has three real solutions. It can be rewritten as ...

$g(x)-f(x)=0\\\\0.03x^3-x+1-(3x-1)=0\\\\0.03x^3-4x+2=0$

Since the solutions are irrational, they are best found using a spreadsheet or graphing calculator. My favorite graphing calculator shows the approximate solutions below.

<em>Comment on the problem statement</em>

Your expression for f(x) is ambiguous in that many Brainly questions have the exponentiation indicator replaced by a blank: 3 x -1 often means 3^x -1 and sometimes means 3^(x-1). We have taken the expression at face value and have assumed it is a linear expression. If otherwise, the problem is basically worked the same way: write a function h(x) = g(x) - f(x) and look for solutions to h(x) = 0. Graphing can be useful.
