Brooklyn has a goal to save $8,000 to buy a new entertainment system. In order to meet that goal, she deposited $4,132.79 into a

savings account. If the account has an interest rate of 4.8% compounded quarterly, approximately when will Brooklyn be able to make the purchase?

Time=(log(8,000÷4,132.79)÷log(1+0.048÷4))÷4
Time=13.84 years rounded to 14 years

To see how much interest she'll get after a quarter:

$4132.79 + ($4132.79 × 0.048) = $4331.16

After two quarters:
$4331.16 + ($4331.16 × 0.048) = $4359.06

You can keep going until eventually reaching $8000 then see how many quarters has passed. That's a lot of calculator work!

There's another way that uses less calculation, but more algebra. I call it the exponential formula method! There's this general formula for stuff that increases exponentially, like virus, population, and MONEY:

m= d {e}^{tc}

M is money, d is deposit, t is time taken, and c is just some unknown constant related to the interest rate. There's also the natural logarithm form of this equation, which will come in handy later:

ln( \frac{m}{d} ) = tc

Alright first we gotta find that constant c for this equation to be useful! Let's plug in stuff we know.

ln( \frac{4331.16}{4132.79} ) = (0.25)c

We know how much she'll have after one quarter (0.25 years), and we know how much she deposited initially.

After pressing some buttons on the calculator we'll find that c = 0.1875.

Great! Now we can use that formula to find how many years (t) it'll take to reach M=$8000. To save time I'm going to use the natural log form:

ln( \frac{8000}{4132.79} ) = t(0.1875)

That will give us t = 3.522 which means it'll take approximately 3.5 years for her deposit to reach $8000!

Give two ordered pairs from the graph that will support the idea that the graph is not a function. Explain how your ordered pair
erica [24]
To tell if it is not a function you do a vertical line test. A vertical line test is when you draw a vertical line to test if the ordered pairs are a function or not.If the vertical line intersects the plotted points once it is a function and if the vertical line intersects the plotted points more than once it is not a function. An example of ordered pairs that are not a function is (2,6) and (2,8).

Easy, it's A.

5 more can be written as 5+ or +5. W is the width, so 5 more than the width is written as 5+w

Answer:

  • B'(8, 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Coordinates of point B = (8, -6)

<u>Reflection across the x-axis results in:</u>
