Sarah invested £12000 in a unit trust 5 years ago, the value of the unit trust increased by 7% per annum for each of the last 3

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

The current price of the unit trust = £13,831.72

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it increased 7% per annum in last three years and decreased by 3% per annum before that, it implies that the unit trust decreased by 3% per annum for the first 2 years and then increased by 7% per annum for the next 3 years in the total 5 year period

The invested after 2 years = 12,000*(1-0.03)^2 = £11,290.8

This amount then grows by 7% for the next 3 years making it = 11,290.80*(1+0.07)^3 = £13,831.7155 = £13,831.72 (Rounded to 2 decimals)

The current price of the unit trust = £13,831.72 (Rounded to 2 decimals)

A train travels in a straight path at a steady speed of 1.25 miles per minute. At noon, the train is 100 miles from the starting

Leto [7]

We'll take 1.25 miles as one minute (x) and take 100 as total distance (D) while T is the time it took to reach that distance.
T = D/x
putting the values in
T = 100/1.25
T = 80
80 minutes is the answer.

{4x+2y=10 y=2x-1 What is the value of x+y A.3.125 B.2 C.4.5 D.3.5

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

D.3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+2y=10(given)

2x+y=5

y=5-2x-----(1)

y=2x-1------(2)(given)

Since the left side of the equations are the the same,

5-2x=2x-1

4x=6

x=1.5

Sub x=1.5 into eq(1),

y = 5-2(1.5) = 5-3 = 2

so, x+y = 1.5+2 = 3.5

PLEASEE HELP!

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

Two non zero vectors, a and b are parallel when they are scalar multiples of each other such that a = c·b where c is a scalar quantity.

Therefore, in order to find a vector that is parallel to the vector, b = (-2, -1), we multiply the vector, b by a scaler quantity

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the vector b = (-2, -1) can be written as follows;

b = -2·i - j, we have;

$\left | b \right |$ = √((-2)² + (-1)²) = √5

Therefore, we have;

The coordinates of the endpoint of the vector are (-2, 0) and (0, -1)

Therefore, the slope of the vector = (-1 - 0)/(0 - (-2)) = -1/2

The slope of parallel vectors are equal, which gives the slope of the parallel vector = -1/2 = (λ × (-1 - 0))/(λ ×(0 - (-2))

Therefore, a parallel vector is obtained from a vector by multiplying with a scaler product.
