Answer:

Alma is incorrect in her statement.

Step-by-step explanation:

It was given that:

Alma reasoned that adding a rational number with an irrational number would give you a rational number.

she is incorrect as adding an rational number with an irrational number always gives an irrational number.

<u>Example:</u>

4+\sqrt{5} is an irrational number.

Where 4 is an rational number and \sqrt{5} is an irrational number and so adding both of them gives an irrational number.

Solve for c; a/b+c=d/c
Eduardwww [97]

To solve for c, you need to get c onto one side of the equation, or make it c=__. So what I would do first is subtract a/b from both sides

a/b + c = d/c

-a/b

a/b - a/b + c = d/c - a/b

c = d/c-a/b

Walter's savings account has a balance of $273. After 5 years, what will the amount of interest be at 5% compounded quarterly?
rodikova [14]
Given:
Principal = $273
Interest rate = 5% compounded quarterly
time = 5 years

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

A = amount of money accumulated plus interest
P = principal
r = interest rate (in decimal form)
n = number of times the interest is compounded per year
t = total number of years the amount is deposited

A = $273 (1 + 0.05/4)⁴*⁵
A = $273 (1 + 0.0125)²⁰
A = $273 (1.0125)²⁰
A = $273 * 1.2820
A = $349.99

$349.99 - 273 = $76.99

The compounded interest amounts to $76.99
