If you deposit $12,500 in an account that pays 4.5% interest quarterly, what is the balance after 8 years? How much did the acco

unt earn in interest?

In order to determine the balance of the account, use the following formula for the amount of money obtained after t years, basen on a compound interest:

A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}

where,

P: principal = $12,500

A: amount earnt after t years = ?

r: interest rate in decimal form = 0.045 (4.5%)

n: times at year for the compund interes = 4 (quaterly)

Replace the previous values of the parameters into the formula for A and simplify:

\begin{gathered} A=12,500(1+\frac{0.045}{4})^{4\cdot8} \\ A=12,500(1+0.01125)^{32} \\ A=12,500(1.01125)^{32} \\ A=12,500(1.430451402) \\ A\approx17,880.64 \end{gathered}

Hence, the balance after 8 years is approximately $17,880.64 in the account.

The interest earnt by the account is given by the difference between the previous result and the principal invesment:

I = $17,880.64 - $12,500 = $5,380.64

Hence, the interest earnt is $5,380.64

Which is one of the transformations applied to the graph of f(x)=x2 to change it into the graph of g(x) = -x2 + 16x – 44?
KatRina [158]

Answer:

Only option D is one of the transformations needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph of f(x)=x^2 is a positive parabola with x=0 as the zero in ordinates and also 0 as a zero x. This is, the graph passes in (0,0) and this is the only point it crosses both axis, then for every x value we will gave a positive f(x).

Here I attach a graph that shows both, f(x)=x^2 and g(x)=-x^2+16x-44.

As you can see, for transforming f(x) in g(x) we need to reflect it over the x axis, as g is open downwards. Then, as the quadratic term is still being x^2 we do not wide it (as you see in the graph both curves are equally widened).

Then, we can also see that the graph is shifted right, so we do not shift it left 8 units (notice that we shift it right 8 units).

So, after reflecting over the x axis and shifting right we need to shift it UP, as we can see the graph is over the x axis.

So, the three transformations needed are:

1. reflect over the x axis

2. shift right 8 units

3. shift up 20 units.

So, from the options you proposed we chose only d, to which we MUST add the transformations noted above.

Sorry for the mistake!

3x+y=8<br>5x+y=10<br>please help me Brainly sir ​
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

X = 1

Y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

we have to figure out what x and y = that make both answers correct

3 x 1 = 3

3 + 5 = 8

That means that the first equation is right with X = 1 and Y = 5

Let's see the second equation

5 x 1 = 5

5 + 5 = 10

That means both equations are right so the answer would be

X = 1 and

Y = 5
