<h3>Answer: 787.25 dollars</h3>

=============================

Work Shown:

A = final amount after t years = 1000

P = initial deposit = unknown

r = interest rate in decimal form = 0.08

n = compounding frequency = 12

t = number of years = 3

-----

A = P*(1+r/n)^(n*t) is the compound interest formula

1000 = P*(1+0.08/12)^(12*3)

1000 = P*1.27023705162066

1.27023705162066P = 1000

P = 1000/1.27023705162066

P = 787.254629932364

P = 787.25 rounding to the nearest penny

----

note: this assumes that the interest rate stays at 8% the entire three year period; also, you cannot withdraw any money from the account during this time period.

What is the distance between (4, 6) and (5, 0)

tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

x1=4

y1=6

x2=5

y2=0

substitute in the formula for the distance between two points

d=√((x_2-x_1)²+(y_2-y_1)²)

d=√((5-4)²+(0-6)²)

d=√((1)²+(6)²)

d=√36)

d=6

Hence the distance is 6 units

Which expression is equivalent

RUDIKE [14]

Given expression is

$\sqrt[4]{\frac{16x^{11}y^8}{81x^7y^6}}$

Radical is fourth root

first we simplify the terms inside the radical

$\frac{x^{11}}{x^7}=x^4$

$\frac{y^(8)}{y^6}=y^2$

So the expression becomes

$\sqrt[4]{\frac{16x^4y^2}{81}}$

Now we take fourth root

$\sqrt[4]{16} = 2$

$\sqrt[4]{81} = 3$

$\sqrt[4]{x^4} = x$

We cannot simplify fourth root (y^2)

After simplification , expression becomes

$\frac{2x\sqrt[4]{y^2}}{3}$

Find f(5) for f(x)=1/9(3)*O A. 27O B. 81O C. 9O D. 3

Vladimir79 [104]

$f(x)=\frac{1}{9}(3^x)$

If the function is asking what if x = 5, then we will substitute the exponent x with 5.

$f(5)=\frac{1}{9}(3^5)$

From the formula above, we will multiply 3 to itself five times (3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3) = 243

$f(5)=\frac{1}{9}(243)$

After that, we will multiple 243 to 1/9 or simply divide 243 by 9.

$f(5)=\frac{243}{9}=27$

Therefore, the value of the function if x = 5 is 27. Option A is the answer.

Rachel jog along a trail that was one fourth of a mile long to jog along the trail eight times how many miles did Rachel jog and

Inessa05 [86]

Easy peasy!
By the time you hear the word times like "eight times" in the problem, you should know that you need to do some multiplying.

What you do is:
1/4 x 8/1 (multiply across; ex: numerator x numerator; deominator x deominator)
By the time you multiply that you get 8/4
Then SIMPLIFY- by dividing 8 by 4 that gets you 2
