Alja [10]3 years ago

The concept of interest is centralized on the idea that money has a time value. Your $1,000 today would not have the same worth 10 years after. When interest come into play, the value of your money grows with time. There are two types of interest: simple or compounding. Simple interest is based only on the original deposit. Compounding interest is based on the original deposit, add to that the accumulated interest. So, to put simply, simple interest increases by multiplication, while compounding interest increases exponentially.

In the given equation for simple interest, <span>I = prt, i is the amount of interest earned, P is the present worth, r is the interest rate and t is the amount of time. But what we really want to know is the future worth of our money, not the interest earned Therefore, the equation should be F (future worth) in terms of P, i and t. 

Amount of interest earned = Future worth - Present Worth
I = F - P
Substituting this to the given equation and simplifying,
F - P = Prt
F = P + Prt
F = P(1 + rt)</span>

Can an equilateral triangle ever be a right triangle too?
True [87]
No, it never can be a right triangle. 

First, all the angles of an equilateral triangle is 60 degrees because all angles are the same and all the angles add up to 180:

180/3 = 60.

So if it is a right angle it needs one angle 90 degrees which an equilateral triangle can't have,

A packed box that is being shipped will be weighed in order to calculate the correct postage needed. The total weight of a packe
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Weight of the package = weight of product + weight of box

Weight of empty box =0.88lb

Total weight of the box is =7.24lb

Let Weight of product inside box=w

Let wet of empty box =y

Total weight = F

Then,

F=y+w

Since F=7.24lb. y=0.88

Then, w=F-y

w=7.24-0.88

w=6.36lb

The weight of the product is 6.36lb

The cube root of 5 times the square root of 5 over the cube root of 5 to the 5th power
Fiesta28 [93]
(cube root of 5)  * sqrt(5)
--------------------------------- = ?
(cube root of 5^5)

This becomes easier if we switch to fractional exponents:


  5^(1/3) * 5^(1/2)         5^(1/3 + 1/2)       5^(5/6)
------------------------ = --------------------- = ------------- = 5^[5/6 - 5/3]
[ 5^5 ]^(1/3)                  5^(5/3)                 5^(5/3) 

Note that 5/6 - 5/3 = 5/6 - 10/6 = -5/6.

                                                            1
Thus,  5^[5/6 - 5/3] = 5^(-5/6)  =  --------------
                                                        5^(5/6)

That's the correct answer.  But if you want to remove the fractional exponent from the denominator, do this:

    1            5^(1/6)         5^(1/6)
---------- * ------------- = --------------    (ANSWER)
5^(5/6)       5^(1/6)              5

i have a school project and really don’t pay attention in class … so i need to know What is an equation in integers that equals
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is actually

Let:

S=1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+n

We know the answer to the following infinite sum:

S2=1-1+1-1+1-1+1-1+1-1+1-1+1-....= - 1/2

We can therefore solve for this sum:

S3=1-2+3-4+5-6+7-8+9-....

We add them:

S3=      1-2+3-4+5-6+7-8...

S3=       +1-2+3-4+5-6+7-8...

        ________________

2S3=    1-1+1-1+1-1+1-1+1-....

Therefore:

2S3=S2=
