Two bonds are available on the market as follows: Bond 1: Face value $250, 5 years to maturity at a (simple) interest rate of 5%

. Bond 2: Face value $350, 3 years to maturity at a (simple) interest rate of r. Given that both bonds yield the same interest to maturity, calculate r.

The value of r is 5.95%

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the simple interest is I = P r t, where

  • P is the initial amount of money
  • r is the interest rate in decimal
  • t is the time

Bond 1:

∵ The face value is $250

∴ P = 250

∵ The value is in the bond for 5 years

∴ t = 5

∵ The simple interest rate is 5%

∴ r = 5% = 5 ÷ 100 = 0.05

∵ I = P r t

- Substitute the values of P, r and t in the rule

∴ I = (250)(0.05)(5) = 62.5

∴ The interest of Bond 1 is $62.5

Bond 2:

∵ The face value is $350

∴ P = 350

∵ The value is in the bond for 3 years

∴ t = 3

∵ The simple interest rate is r

∵ I = P r t

- Substitute the values of P and t in the rule

∴ I = (350)(r)(3) = 1050 r

∴ The interest of Bond 2 is 1050 r

∵ The both bonds yield the same interest to maturity

- Equate the interests of bonds 1 and 2

∵ 1050 r = 62.5

- Divide both sides by 1050

∴ r = 0.0595

- Multiply it by 100% to change it to percentage

∵ r = 0.0595 × 100% = 5.95%

∴ r = 5.95%

The value of r is 5.95%

How many extraneous solutions does the equation below have? StartFraction 9 Over n squared 1 EndFraction = StartFraction n 3 Ove
BigorU [14]

The equation has one extraneous solution which is n ≈ 2.38450287.

Given that,

The equation;

\dfrac{9}{n^2+1} =\dfrac{n+3}{4}

We have to find,

How many extraneous solutions does the equation?

According to the question,

An extraneous solution is a solution value of the variable in the equations, that is found by solving the given equation algebraically but it is not a solution of the given equation.

To solve the equation cross multiplication process is applied following all the steps given below.

\rm \dfrac{9}{n^2+1} =\dfrac{n+3}{4}\\\\9 (4) = (n+3) (n^2+1)\\\\36 = n(n^2+1) + 3 (n^2+1)\\\\36 = n^3+ n + 3n^2+3\\\\n^3+ n + 3n^2+3 - 36=0\\\\n^3+ 3n^2+n -33=0\\

The roots (zeros) are the  x  values where the graph intersects the x-axis. To find the roots (zeros), replace  y

with  0  and solve for  x. The graph of the equation is attached.

n  ≈  2.38450287

Hence, The equation has one extraneous solution which is n  ≈  2.38450287

A line that includes the points (9,j) and (10,4) has a slope of 1. What is the value of j?
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

soln

A=(9,j)

x1=9,y1=j

B=(10,4)

x2=10,y2=4

slope=1

by using the fomulaof slope,

slope=y2-y1/x2-x1

1 =4-j/10-9

1 = 4-j/1

1=4-j

j=4-1

j=3
