<span>Compound  interest  formula</span>

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

 

Where

<span>
A= Future value
P = the Principal (the initial amount of money) 
r = annual interest rate</span>

t = time

<span>n= number of times compounded in one t






Remark
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

r is generally a percentage like 3%, 7% etc and are applied in the formula as 0.03, 0.07..., 

the interest is compounded generally annually (n=1), quarterly (n=4), monthly (n=12), etc...

t is in years,


In our problem:

</span>

A= 30 000

P =20 000

r = 15%=0.15

time = t = ?

n= 4

applying the formula:

A=P(1+ \frac{r}{n} )^{nt}\\\\30,000=20,000(1+ \frac{0.15}{4} )^{4t}\\\\ \displaystyle{\frac{30,000}{20,000} =(1.0375)^{4t}

\displaystyle{ 1.5={(1.0375^4)}^t\\\\

1.5=1.159^t\\\\ \displaystyle { t=log_{1.159}1.5=2.75

75% of 12 months is 3/4 of 12 months, which is 9 months

Answer: 2 years, 9 months

In the square ABCD, AE = 3x + 5 and BD = 10x + 2. What is the length of line AC?
zubka84 [21]
BD = 2 AE
10 x + 2 = 2 * ( 3 x + 5 )
10 x + 2 = 6 x + 10
10 x - 6 x = 10 - 2
4 x = 8
x = 8 : 4
x = 2
And the line AC is equal to BD.
AC = 10 * 2 + 2 = 20 + 2 = 22

3.  22

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

This a special right triangle with angle measures of 30° 60° 90°

The side length that sees angle measure 30° is represented with a, the one that sees 90° is represented by 2a and the one that sees 60° is represented by a√2

AC sees angle B which has an angle measure of 60

(6√2)×(√2) = 24
