Hello! I can help you with this!

a. The function that would best represent Samantha's account is f(5) = 500(1 + 0.04)^5. This is because $500 is the principal, the interest rate is 4%, and we're looking for the amount in the savings account 5 years later.

b. Okay. 1 = 0.04 is 1.04. 1.04^5 is 1.216652902. It's a long decimal, but don't delete it. Multiply that decimal by 500 and you get 608.32645 and other numbers behind it or 608 when rounded to the nearest dollar. Samantha will have about $608 in her savings account in 5 years.

Note: The formula goes like this: f(x) = P(1 + r)^x. This means, you add 1 and the simple interest rate in decimal form together and raise that up by the exponent. There is no shortcuts for this, so you'll have to use the calculator. There will be a very long decimal, but don't clear it. Instead, multiply it by the principal to get the answer. It seems very complicating, but if you do this right, it gets easier overtime and you'll make less errors. There are more complex problems out there, so this formula is very important, but it was kept simple for this question.

What is the total finance charge for a $4,250 loan at 13.25% interest compounded monthly for 24 months?
Rom4ik [11]
Since only the principal value, interest rate and interest period are given, we can deduce that "finance charge" only includes the interest to be paid at the end of the term. This can be obtained by subtracting the principal value from the future value which we will solve for.

The future value can be solved by using the following compound interest formula:

Let:
F = Future value
P = Principal value
r<span> = annual interest rate </span>
n<span> = number of times that interest is compounded per year</span>
t<span> = number of years</span>

F = P(1 + r/n)^nt

Substituting the given values:
F = 4250(1 + 0.1325/12)^(12*2)
F = 5531.54

Subtracting P from F:
Finance charge = 5531.54 - 4250 = 1281.54

Therefore the finance charge is $1,281.54

I am struggling with triangles missing angles with the formula if you could explain your answer step by step that would be great
Alborosie

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 3 angles of all triangles add up to 180 degrees.

An isosceles triangle has 2 of its angles equal.

So if one of the angles is 130 degrees then there cant be another one of 130 degrees as that would make 260 degrees.

So the other 2 angles are equal and their measure is (180 - 130) / 2

= 50 / 2

= 25 degrees.

The 2 equal angles are both 25 degrees.
