max invests $6000 in a savings account for 3 years. the account pays compound interest at a rate of 1.5% per year for the first

2 years. The compound interest rate changes for the third year. At the end of 3 years, there is a total of $6311.16 in the account. Work out the compound interest rate for the third year.

Answer:

2.1%

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for compound interest is given as:

A=P(1+I)^n\\\\P-Principal \\A-amount\\i-compound \ interest \ rate

Given the Principal amount as $6000, and the rate in the first two years as 1.5%:

A=P(1+i)^n\\\\A_2=6000(1+0.015)^2\\\\A_2=6181.35

We compound A_2 for 1 year at rate i to obtain $6311.16:

A=P(1+i)^n, n=1, i=i, P=6181.35, A=6311.16\\\\6311.16=6181.35(1+i)^1\\\\\frac{6311.16}{6181.35}=(1+i)\\\\i=\frac{6311.16}{6181.35}-1\\\\i=0.02100

Hence, the compound interest rate in the third year is 2.1%

Answer:

2.1%

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that    

The compound interest formula is equal to  

A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}  

where  

A is the Final Investment Value  

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested  

r is the rate of interest  in decimal

t is Number of Time Periods  

n is the number of times interest is compounded per year

in this problem we have  

<em>For the first 2 years</em>

t=2\ years\\ P=\$6,000\\ r=1.5\%=1.5/100=0.015\\n=1  

substitute in the formula above

A=6,000(1+\frac{0.015}{1})^{1*2}  

A=6,000(1.015)^{2}  

A=\$6,181.35  

<em>Find the interest rate for the third year</em>

we have

t=1\ years\\ P=\$6,181.35\\ r=?\\n=1\\A=\$6,311.16  

substitute

6,311.16=6,181.35(1+\frac{r}{1})^{1*1}  

6,311.16=6,181.35(1+r)^{1}  

6,311.16=6,181.35(1+r)  

r=(6,311.16/6,181.35)-1  

r=0.021

Convert to percentage

r=0.021*100=2.1\%

Which statement is false?
Luda [366]

Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

1/5 is a rational number so A is false. Just to prove this ill show every other answer is true.

B is true because rational; numbers have a repeating pattern while irrational do not.

C is true as any number not involving i is a real.

D is true as all integers have a repeating pattern if turned into decimal form.

Let's solve for g. w = k g

Step 1: Multiply both sides by g.

gw = k

Step 2: Divide both sides by w.

gw/w = k/w g = k/w

Answer g = k/w
