We are asked to determine the present value of an annuity that is paid at the end of each period. Therefore, we need to use the formula for present value ordinary, which is:

PV_{ord}=C(\frac{1-(1+i)^{-kn}}{\frac{i}{k}})

Where:

\begin{gathered} C=\text{ payments each period} \\ i=\text{ interest rate} \\ n=\text{ number of periods} \\ k=\text{ number of times the interest is compounded} \end{gathered}

Since the interest is compounded semi-annually this means that it is compounded 2 times a year, therefore, k = 2. Now we need to convert the interest rate into decimal form. To do that we will divide the interest rate by 100:

\frac{5.9}{100}=0.059

Now we substitute the values:

PV_{ord}=4000(\frac{1-(1+0.059)^{-2(3)}}{\frac{0.059}{2}})

Now we solve the operations, we get:

PV_{\text{ord}}=39462.50

Therefore, the present value must be $39462.50

Is this equation standard form of an ellipse or circle?
Usimov [2.4K]
The standard form equation for a circle is

(h-x)^2+(k-y)^2=r^2

where (h, k) is the center and r is the radius.

The standard form equation for an ellipse is

\frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2}} + \frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2} = 1

(center h, k and major and minor axes a and b)

This equation is standard form for neither, but might be general form for one.

-3x^2-3y^2-12x-12y+24=0 \\ -3(x^2+y^2+4x+4y)=-24 \\ x^2+4x+y^2+4y=8\ (complete\ the\ squares)\\ (x^2+4x+4)+(y^2+4y+4)=8+4+4\\ (x+2)^2+(y+2)^2=16 \\ Circle\ with\ radius\ 4\ and\ center\ (2,\ 2)

Karina ate 1/2 of the muffins. Ulysses ate 1/4 of the muffins. Zawanna ate 1/5 of the muffins. Juan ate the rest of the muffins.
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

1/20

Step-by-step explanation:

Karina ate 1/2 of the muffins. Ulysses ate 1/4 of the muffins. Zawanna ate 1/5 of the muffins. Juan ate the rest of the muffins. What fraction of the muffins did Juan eat?

Let the total number of muffins = 1

Hence:

The fraction of muffins Juan ate =

1 - (1/2 + 1/4 + 1/5)

Lowest common denominator is 20

1 - ( 10 + 5 + 4/20)

1 - 19/20

= 1/20

The Fraction of muffins Juan ate is 1/20
