Given the word problem, we can deduce the following information:

Principal amount = $4739

Future amount = $5336

Interest = 5.1 % =0.051

To determine the time to accumulate the $5336, we use the compound interest formula:

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

A=Future amount=$5336

P=Present amount=$4739

r=interest rate = 0.051

n=number of compounding periods =12

t=time in years

We also note that the number of compounding periods must be 12 since the investment is compounded monthly.

We plug in what we know:

\begin{gathered} A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt} \\ 5336=4739(1+\frac{0.051}{12})^{12t} \\ Simplify\text{ and rearrange} \\ 5336=4739(\frac{12.051}{12})^{12t} \\ 12t=\frac{\ln\frac{5336}{4739}}{\ln\frac{12.051}{12}} \\ t=\frac{\operatorname{\ln}\frac{5,336}{4,739}}{12\operatorname{\ln}\frac{12.051}{12}} \\ Calculate \\ t=2.33 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the answer is 2.33 years.

There is a language with 12 distinct letters. How many words that are less than four letters long can possibly be formed? (Assum
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

1884

Step-by-step explanation:

1)If you hear the condition "less than four letters" it means that each word can consist of 3,2 or 1 letter. Firstly, consider the easiest situation with the word from one letter. There are 12 letters, so there are 12 words from one letter.

Then the words from two letters. The first letter of such a word can be chosen in 12 means(because 12 letters are available), then the second letter can be chosen in 12 means too. 12*12=144 words with 2 letters. (Multiplying, not adding, because each two words form one combination).

Then for the words from three letters, use the same rule, 12 means for the first letter, 12 means for the second letter, 12 means for the third letter. 12*12*12=1728 words.

Having particular words from 1,2,3 letters add them to get total quantity of words: 12+144+1728=1884words,that is the answer.
