Answer:

-0.9090... can be written as $\frac{10}{11}$ .

Explanation:

Any <em>repeating </em>decimal can be written as a fraction by dividing the section of the pattern to be repeated <em>by </em>9's.

We can start by listing out

0.909090... = 9/10 + 0/100 + 9/1000 + 0/10000 + 9/100000 + 0/1000000 + ...

Now. we let this series be equal to x, that is

$x$ = 9/10 + 0/100 + 9/1000 + 0/10000 + 9/100000 + 0/1000000 + ...

Now, we'll multiply both sides by 100 .

$100x$ = 90 + 0 + 9/10 + 0/100 + 9/1000 + 0/10000 + ...

Then, subtract the 1st equation from the second like so:

$100x$ = 90 + 0 + 9/10 + 0/100 + 9/1000 + 0/10000 + 9/100000 + 0/1000000 + ...

$-x$ = - 9/10 - 0/100 - 9/1000 - 0/10000 - 9/100000 - 0/1000000 - ...

And we end up with this:

$99x=90$

Finally, we divide both sides by 99 in order to isolate x and get the fraction we're looking for.

$x=\frac{90}{99}$

Which can be reduced and simplified to

$x=\frac{10}{11}$

Hope this helps!

Lou has an account with $10,000 which pays 6% interest compounded annually. If to that account, Lou deposits $5,000 at the begin

katovenus [111]

Answer:

Option d. $22154 is the right answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question we will use the formula $A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

In this formula A = amount after time t

P = principal amount

r = rate of interest

n = number of times interest gets compounded in a year

t = time

Now Lou has principal amount on the starting of first year = 10000+5000 = $15000

So for one year $A=15000(1+\frac{\frac{6}{100}}{1})^{1\times1}$

$= 15000(1+.06)^{1}$

$= 15000(1.06)$ = $15900

After one year Lou added $5000 in this amount and we have to calculate the final amount he got

Now principal amount becomes $15900 + $ 5000 = $20900

Then putting the values again in the formula

$A=20900(1+\frac{\frac{6}{100}}{1})^{1\times1}$

$= 20900(1+.06)^{1}$

$= 20900(1.06)=22154$

So the final amount will be $22154.
