Answer:

19.38 Months, so 1.6 years

Step-by-step explanation:

6.5% compounded monthly is $325 a month (5,300*.065) so if you subtract 11,300-5,000 you get $6,300. You divide that by 325 and you get 19.38 (months) divide that by 12 months and you get 1.6 (years)

Answer: 13.6 years

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for determining compound interest which is expressed as

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

Where

A = total amount in the account at the end of t years

r represents the interest rate.

n represents the periodic interval at which it was compounded.

P represents the principal or initial amount deposited

From the information given,

P = $5000

A = $11300

r = 6% = 6/100 = 0.06

n = 12 because it was compounded 12 times in a year.

Therefore,.

11300 = 5000(1 + 0.06/12)^12 × t

11300/5000 = (1 + 0.005)^12t

2.26 = (1.005)^12t

Taking log of both sides, it becomes

Log 2.26 = 12tlog 1.005

0.354 = 12t × 0.0022

0.354 = 0.0264t

t = 0.354/0.026

t = 13.6 years

The first five terms of an arithmetic sequence are 8, 13/2, 5, 7/2, and 2. Which function, f(x), could be used to describe the x
juin [17]

Answer:

f(x) = 8 - 1.5x

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to write a function that can be used to describe the x th term of the sequence

Mathematically, this can be calculated by looking at the numbers in the sequence

The difference between each successive term

is -1.5 ( 6.5-8, 3.5 -5)

So the formula for then x th term will be;

f(x) = 8 - 1.5x

where x refers to the number of the term , for example the 4th term
