On February 1, 1977, John deposited $2250 into a savings account paying 5.76% interest, compounded quarterly. If he hasn't made

any additional deposits or withdrawals since then, and if the interest rate has stayed the same, in what year did his balance hit $4500, according to the rule of 72?

John's effective annual rate is about
  (1 +.0576/4)^4 -1 ≈ 5.8856%
According to the "rule of 72", John's money will have doubled in
  72/5.8856 = 12.23 years

John's balance will be $4500 in 1989.

_____
Since you're only concerned with the year (not the month), you don't actually need to determine the effective annual rate. The given rate of 5.76% will tell you 72/5.76 = 12.5 years. The actual doubling time is closer to 12.12 years, so using the effective rate gives results that are closer, but "good enough" is good enough in this case.

How can I find the exact distance between the points(√7,-√2)and (4√7,5√2)
chubhunter [2.5K]
\bf \textit{distance between 2 points}\\ \quad \\&#10;\begin{array}{lllll}&#10;&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\&#10;%  (a,b)&#10;&({{ \sqrt{7}}}\quad ,&{{ -\sqrt{2}}})\quad &#10;%  (c,d)&#10;&({{4\sqrt{7}}}\quad ,&{{ 5\sqrt{2}}})&#10;\end{array}~~~&#10;%  distance value&#10;d = \sqrt{({{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}})^2 + ({{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}})^2}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;

\bf d=\sqrt{[4\sqrt{7}-\sqrt{7}]^2~+~[5\sqrt{2}-(-\sqrt{2})]^2}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;d=\sqrt{(4\sqrt{7}-\sqrt{7})^2~+~(5\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{2})^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(3\sqrt{7})^2~+~(6\sqrt{2})^2}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;d=\sqrt{3^2\cdot 7~~+~~6^2\cdot 2}\implies d=\sqrt{63+72}\implies d=\sqrt{135}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\begin{cases}&#10;135=5\cdot 3\cdot 3\cdot 3\\&#10;\qquad 5\cdot 3^2\cdot 3\\&#10;\qquad 15\cdot 3^2&#10;\end{cases}\implies d=\sqrt{15\cdot 3^2}\implies d=3\sqrt{15}
