So h is 3x
b is x
3x plus x equal 972
4x = 972
243 is base
243 times 3 is 729

What are all of the factors of 24 and 27

klasskru [66]

The factors of a number are all of the positive whole numbers that go into it evenly. For example, 2 is a factor of 6 because 6 ÷ 2 = 3, or equivalently, 6 = 2 x 3. Note that this naturally implies that every whole number has 1 and itself as a factor.

The numbers that go evenly into 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24. For 27, those numbers are 1, 3, 9, and 27.

The common factors between two numbers are numbers that go into both numbers evenly. Looking through the lists for 24 and 27, we see that 1 and 3 are their common factors. The greatest common factor is, of course, the largest of these, so the greatest common factor of 24 and 27 is 3.

Talja [164]

Answer:

There will be $5624.32 in the account after 3 years if the interest is compounded annually.

There will be $5630.812 in the account after 3 years if the interest is compounded semi-annually.

There will be $5634.125 in the account after 3 years if the interest is compounded quarterly.

There will be $5636.359 in the account after 3 years if the interest is compounded monthly

Step-by-step explanation:

Tamira invests $5,000 in an account

Rate of interest = 4%

Time = 3 years

Case 1:

Principal = 5000

Rate of interest = 4%

Time = 3 years

No. of compounds per year = 1

Formula : $A=P(1+r)^t$

$A=5000(1+0.04)^3$

A=5624.32

There will be $5624.32 in the account after 3 years if the interest is compounded annually.

Case 2:

Principal = 5000

Rate of interest = 4%

Time = 3 years

No. of compounds per year = 2

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

$A=5000(1+\frac{0.04}{2})^{2 \times 3}$

A=5630.812

There will be $5630.812 in the account after 3 years if the interest is compounded semi-annually.

Case 3:

Principal = 5000

Rate of interest = 4%

Time = 3 years

No. of compounds per year = 4

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

$A=5000(1+\frac{0.04}{4})^{4 \times 3}$

A=5634.125

There will be $5634.125 in the account after 3 years if the interest is compounded quarterly.

Case 4:

Principal = 5000

Rate of interest = 4%

Time = 3 years

No. of compounds per year = 4

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

$A=5000(1+\frac{0.04}{12})^{12 \times 3}$

A=5636.359

There will be $5636.359 in the account after 3 years if the interest is compounded monthly
