Let's denote Cindy's age which is unknown with X
We know that Cindy's age is 3 times her age 6 years ago.
6 years ago Cindy's age was the present age (X) - 6 : X-6
The fact that the present age is 3 times her age 6 year ago can be written as:
3*(X-6)
So, finally:
X=3*(X-6)

Anisha invested $8,000 in an account that earns 10% interest How much money will she have in 15 years of the interest is compoun

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

A = $35,198.32

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula to calculate compound interest:

A = P(1 + i)ⁿ

"A" for total amount after the time period

"P" for principal, or starting money

"i" for the interest rate in a compounding period

To calculate "i":

i = r / c

"n" for the number of compounding periods

To calculate "n":

n = tc

So, we can combine the formulas into:

$A = P(1+\frac{r}{c})^{tc}$

"c" is the compounding periods in a year. (quarterly = 4)

We know:

P = 8000

r = 10% / 100 = 0.1

t = 15

c = 4

Substitute the information in the formula.

$A = P(1+\frac{r}{c})^{tc}$

$A = 8000(1+\frac{0.1}{4})^{15*4}$ Solve "i" and "n"

$A = 8000(1+0.025)^{60}$ Solve inside the brackets

$A = 8000(1.025)^{60}$ Do the exponent before multiplying by 8000

A = 35198.318 Exact answer

A ≈ 35198.32 Round to two decimal places for money

Therefore she will have $35,198.32 after 15 years.

Express x^2+4x-7 in the form (x+a)^2-b where a and b are integers

lukranit [14]

Answer:

(x + 2)^2 - 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x^2 + 4x - 7

Now x^2 + 4x = (x + 2)^2 - 4 so we have:

f(x) = (x + 2)^2 - 4 - 7

f(x) = (x + 2)^2 - 11.

The coordinates of the points below represents the vertics of a rectangle

Tanya [424]

Not sure what the question is, but I'm guessing you want to find out the area of the rectangle.

The distance between points P and Q is 4.

The distance between points Q and R is 3.

So the area is 3 * 4 = 12.
