Suppose you invest $2000 at an annual interest rate of 4.5%. how long will it take for it to earn $495?

1 answer:

3 0

100%:2000$=4.5%:x$, x=90$. After 1st year I earned 90$, now I have 2090$.
100%:2090$=4.5%:x$, x=94.5$. After 2nd year I earned 94.5$ more, now I have 2184.05$.
100%:2184.05$=4.5%:x$, x=98.28$. After 3rd year I have 2282.33$.
100%:2282.33$=4.5%:x$, x=102.71$. After 4th year I have 2385.04$.
100%:2385.04$=4.5%:x$, x=107.33$. After 5th year I have 2492.37$.

So I need 6 years to earn 495$.

How do you write 5x - 4y = 1 in slope intercept form

Alexxandr [17]

First move the 4y to the right and the 1 to the left:

4y=5x-1

Then divide everything by 4:

y=5/4 x - 1/4

Math again yay!...Ew math

Answer:

The graph of g(x) is wider.

Step-by-step explanation:

Parent function:

$f(x)=x^2$

New function:

$g(x)=\left(\dfrac{1}{2}x\right)^2=\dfrac{1}{4}x^2$

Transformations:

For a > 0

$f(x)+a \implies f(x) \: \textsf{translated}\:a\:\textsf{units up}$

$f(x)-a \implies f(x) \: \textsf{translated}\:a\:\textsf{units down}$

$\begin{aligned} y =a\:f(x) \implies & f(x) \: \textsf{stretched/compressed vertically by a factor of}\:a\\ & \textsf{If }a > 1 \textsf{ it is stretched by a factor of}\: a\\ & \textsf{If }0 < a < 1 \textsf{ it is compressed by a factor of}\: a\\\end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned} y=f(ax) \implies & f(x) \: \textsf{stretched/compressed horizontally by a factor of} \: a\\& \textsf{If }a > 1 \textsf{ it is compressed by a factor of}\: a\\ & \textsf{If }0 < a < 1 \textsf{ it is stretched by a factor of}\: a\\\end{aligned}$
