Solution

We are given

Half Life = 18 years

To solve for k

$\begin{gathered} 0.5=e^{-18k} \\ ln(0.5)=-18k \\ k=-\frac{ln(0.5)}{18} \\ k=0.0385081767 \end{gathered}$

Answer:

Future Value= $17,170.12

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Monthly deposit (A)= $70

Interest rate (i)= 0.04/12= 0.0033

Number of periods (n)= 15*12= 180 months

<u>To calculate the future value (amount saved), we need to use the following formula:</u>

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= monthly deposit

FV= {70*[(1.0033^180) - 1]} / 0.0033

FV= $17,170.12

graph 1 graph 2 graph 3 graph 4 Which graph represents the function f(x) = x2 + 3x + 2? A. graph 1 B. graph 2 C. graph 3 D. grap

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

See attachment

Step-by-step explanation:

To see clearly the graph that represents

$f(x) = {x}^{2} + 3x + 2$

we rewrite in vertex form to get;

$f(x) = (x + \frac{3}{2})^{2} - \frac{1}{4}$

This is a vertical parabola with vertex at (-1.5,-0.25) and opens upwards.

The required graph is shown in the attachment.
