Answer:

It will take approximately 53 years for the account value to reach 38200 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following parameters:

Principal P = 7500

Interest Rate R = 7.75% = 0.0775

Let us find the simple interest for the first year

Simple Interest, I = PRT

with T = 1 year = 12 months

I = 7500 × 0.0775 × 1

= 581.25

The amount for the first year is the addition of the principal and simple interest.

Amount, A = 7500 + 581.25 = 8081.25.

Now, we want to find the time T when Amount A = 38200

Given A = P + I

And I = PRT

A = P + PRT

= P(1 + RT)

Let us make T the subject of the formula.

Dividing both sides by P

A/P = 1 + RT

A/P - 1 = RT

T = ((A/P) - 1)/R

T = ((38200/7500) - 1)/0.0775

= (307/75)/0.0775

= 52.8172043

≈ 53 years.

Answer:

It will take 55 years for the account value to reach 38200 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simple interest problem.

The simple interest formula is given by:

E = P*I*t

In which E are the earnings, P is the principal(the initial amount of money), I is the interest rate(yearly, as a decimal) and t is the time.

After t years, the total amount of money is:

T = E + P.

In this problem, we ahve that:

T = 38200, P = 7500, I = 0.075

So

First we find how much we have to earn in interest.

38200 = E + 7500.

E = 38200 - 7500

E = 30700

How much time to earn this interest?

E = P*I*t

30700 = 7500*0.075*t

t = \frac{30700}{7500*0.075}

t = 54.6

Rounding up

It will take 55 years for the account value to reach 38200 dollars

Answer:

125

Step-by-step explanation:

6 and 7 are on a straight line (180 degrees)

Angle 2 is equal to Angle 6

Therefore 180 - Angle 6 = Angle 7

180 - 55 = 125

Can I have help with the question
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Midpoint = (3.5, 4.5)

Perpendicular bisector = y =  \frac{7}{9} x + \frac{16}{9}

Step-by-step explanation:

[] We can solve this using the midpoint formula:

-> See attached

[] Plug-in our coordinates and solve:

(\frac{7+0}{2} ,\frac{0+9}{2} )=(\frac{7}{2} ,\frac{9}{2} )=(3.5,4.5 )

[] Now we will find the slope to solve for the perpendicular bisector.

-> We will use slope-intercept form, see attached

\frac{9-0}{0-7}=\frac{9}{-7}

-> The slopes of two perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other, so \frac{7}{9} will be the slope of or perpendicular bisector

-> Now we can solve for the equation by using y – y1 = m ( x – x1), were y1 and x1 are the coordinates of our midpoint

y - 4.5 = \frac{7}{9} (x-3.5)

y - 4.5 = \frac{7}{9} x-\frac{49}{18}

y = \frac{7}{9} x-\frac{49}{18} + 4.5

y =  \frac{7}{9} x + \frac{16}{9}

Have a nice day!

     I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly. (ノ^∇^)
