Please I need help with these 3 questions with explanation. See attached below.
1 answer:
Answer:
18. compound interest
19. simple interest
20. simple interest
Step-by-step explanation:
For these problems, the initial balance is irrelevant. All that matters is the multiplier of that balance. For simple interest at rate r for t years, the multiplier is ...
simple interest multiplier = (1 +rt)
For interest compounded annually, the multiplier of the initial balance is ...
compound interest multiplier = (1 +r)^t
A spreadsheet can do the computations for you.
___
As an example of the computations involved, consider problem 19:
simple interest multiplier = 1 + 0.13·6 = 1.78
compound interest multiplier = 1.10^6 = 1.771561
The latter is less than the former, so the simple interest account will have the (slightly) greater balance at the end of 6 years.

The correct answers for x would be 
.
In order to find this, we must first get the equation to equal 0. In order to do that, subtract 1 from each side to get the following.
11
- 4x - 1 = 0
Knowing this we can now use the quadratic equation using a = 11, b = -4 and c = -1. The quadratic equation is below.
Now we can plug the values into the equation to solve.
Then simplify using the order of operations.
