I believe the answer is
2 and 1/5
Answer:
$1136.60
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for exponential growth is f(x) = a(1 + r)^x where a is the initial value, r is the growth rate, and x is the number of time intervals.
We know that Mr. Paris starts with an $1800 initial value, so we can substitute that into the equation:
f(x)=1800(1 + r)^x
We also know the time intervals is 6 months. So that can be substituted as well:
f(x)=1800(1 + r)^6
They told you that the growth rate is 8.5%, which is 0.085 of 1.
f(x)=1800(1 + 0.085)^6
Add the 2 values in the parentheses and you get 1.085
f(x)=1800(1.085)^6
Now solve.
Order of operations requires you to raise 1.085 to the 6th power before multiplying by 1800. So then you have this:
1800(1.63146751) = 2936.64152. That rounds to 2936.60
So $2936.60 is the total amount of money in the bank account, but were looking for the interest earned, which is the difference between the end value and the initial value.
$2936.60 - $1800 = $1136.60
The correct answer is B. 2.3.
For us to know the equivalent decimals of a fraction, you have to use the numerator as the dividend, and the denominator will be your divisor.
The equation will be:
2 + ( 1 / 3 )
2 + (0.33333333)
= 2.333333
If you'll have it rounded off, you'll get the answer 2.3.
I always found it easiest to draw out the picture
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m=(6-(-2))/(3-1)
m=(6+2)/(2)
m=8/2
m=4
