Answer:
$11040
Step-by-step explanation:
first of all the question says that $4000 were earned in a year and asks for what the new vale would be after the next 3 years with a discount rate of 8%.
If 1 year=$4000,then 3 years=$12000
100%-8%=92% (this happens because there is still a remaining amount that still has a cost to it),so 12000*92%=$11040
Answer:
$1136.60
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for exponential growth is f(x) = a(1 + r)^x where a is the initial value, r is the growth rate, and x is the number of time intervals.
We know that Mr. Paris starts with an $1800 initial value, so we can substitute that into the equation:
f(x)=1800(1 + r)^x
We also know the time intervals is 6 months. So that can be substituted as well:
f(x)=1800(1 + r)^6
They told you that the growth rate is 8.5%, which is 0.085 of 1.
f(x)=1800(1 + 0.085)^6
Add the 2 values in the parentheses and you get 1.085
f(x)=1800(1.085)^6
Now solve.
Order of operations requires you to raise 1.085 to the 6th power before multiplying by 1800. So then you have this:
1800(1.63146751) = 2936.64152. That rounds to 2936.60
So $2936.60 is the total amount of money in the bank account, but were looking for the interest earned, which is the difference between the end value and the initial value.
$2936.60 - $1800 = $1136.60
Answer:
x = -3/4, 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor left side of the equation.
(4x + 3)(x - 1) = 0
Set factors equal to 0.
4x + 3 = 0
4x = -3
x = -3/4
x - 1 = 0
x = 1
