Answer:

Area of rectangle (A) is given by:

A = lw

where, l is the length and w is the width of the rectangle.

As per the statement:

The area of a room is 396 square feet.

The length is (x + 8) feet and the width is (x + 4) feet.

⇒A = 396 square feet , l = (x+8) feet and w = (x+4) feet

Substitute these given values we have;

396 = (x+8)(x+4)

⇒396 = x^2+4x+8x+32

Combine like terms;

⇒396 = x^2+12x+32

Subtract 32 from both sides we have;

364 = x^2+12x

or

x^2+12x-364 =0

⇒x^2+26x-14x-364 = 0

⇒x(x+26)-14(x+26)=0

⇒(x+26)(x-14) = 0

By zero product property we have;

x+26 = 0 or x-14 = 0

⇒x = -26 and x = 14

Since, side cannot be in negative.

⇒x = 14

then;

l = x+8 = 14+8 = 22 feet

w = x+4 = 14+4 = 18 feet

Therefore, the dimensions of the room are:

l = 22 feet and w = 18 feet

Use your TVM Solver to determine the future balance in a mutual fund account (a type of investment account) if you make weekly p
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

  $46,141.71

Step-by-step explanation:

This looks about right, based on weekly deposits for the duration. However, I cannot vouch for it entirely, as the number of weekly deposits in 15 years will actually be 782.

_____

Computing this by hand doing the initial balance separately from the weekly deposits, I get a total of $46,252.10 using 782 weekly deposits. For that purpose, I tried to figure an equivalent weekly interest rate given monthly compounding and the fact there are 52 5/28 weeks in a year on average.

I suspect the only way to get this to the cent would be to build a spreadsheet with payment dates and interest computation/payment dates. Some months, there would be 5 deposits between interest computations; some years there would be 53 deposits.
