Diego decided to invest his $500 tax refund rather than spending it. He found a bank that would pay him 4% interest, compounded

quarterly. If he deposits the entire $500 and does not deposit or withdraw any other amount, how long will it take him to double his money in the account?

Answer: it will take 17.5 years to double his money in the account.

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for determining compound interest which is expressed as

A = P(1+r/n)^nt

Where

A = total amount in the account at the end of t years

r represents the interest rate.

n represents the periodic interval at which it was compounded.

P represents the principal or initial amount deposited

From the information given,

P = $500

A = 500 × 2 = $1000

r = 4% = 4/100 = 0.04

n = 4 because it was compounded 3 times in a year.

Therefore,.

1000 = 500(1 + 0.04/4)^4 × t

1000/500 = (1 + 0.01)^4t

2 = (1.01)^4t

Taking log of both sides, it becomes

Log2 = 4tlog 1.01

0.301 = 4t × 0.0043 = 0.0172t

t = 0.301/0.0172

t = 17.5 years

Which of the following are equations for the line shown below? Check all that apply.
Nuetrik [128]

Answer: D. y+4=(x+2)

Step-by-step explanation: Once you subtract 4 from both sides, in order to solve for y (as the equation needs to be in the slope-intercept form, otherwise known as y=mx+b), you end up with y=x-2, which is the right answer. It is the correct answer because the y-intecept shown in the equation matches what is on the graph, in addition to the fact that the slope is just x.

A kitten and a puppy found a sausage which is 14cm long and started eating it simultaneously from each end. The kitten is eating
julsineya [31]

It takes them 12 seconds to eat the whole sausage.

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

Speed is the rate of change of distance.

Analysis:

If kitten eats x cm, then puppy will eat 14 - x cm

speed = d/t

speed of kitten = 1/2

speed of puppy = 2/3

1/2 = x/t

2/3 = 14 - x / t

t = 2x--------1

2t = 3(14 - x ) -------- 2

substitute t in equation 2

2(2x) = 3(14 - x)

4x = 42 - 3x

7x = 42

x = 42/7 = 6cm

substitute value of x in equation 1

t = 2(60 = 12 seconds.

In conclusion, it takes the both animals 12 seconds to finish the sausage.
