Answer:

Shorty has $142 after 7 month.

Step-by-step explanation:

The concept of compounded interest involves an initial capital that is reinvested month by month, it means that the initial capital plus the interest earned during the first month is reinvested on the second month and so on. The equation that describes the relationship between the final capital with the initial capital, the percentage of compounded interest and the time is:

 Cf = Ci(1 + r)^n    

where Cf: final capital (the money tha Shorty needs,  $142)

Ci: initial capital (the money that Shorty has, $80)

r is the interest (9% = 0,09)

n: time (in months)

⇒142 = 80 (1 + 0,09)^n ⇒ 142/80 = (1,09)^n ⇒ 1.775 = (1,09)^n At this point you have to apply logarithms.

⇒ log (1.775) = n log (1.09) ⇒ n = log (1.775)/log (1.09) ⇒ n= 6.658

Shorty has $142 after 7 month.

Kevin recorded the effects of violent video games on antisocial behavior.
den301095 [7]

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

Because the study is relying on the effects of violent video games and how it affects anti-social behavior.

If this was a math problem it'd be:

---> y= effect and signs of anti social behavior.

---> x= violent video games.

--->5= Hours spent playing. (Lets use 5 as a random number to write this as an equation then.)

Equation form:

Most likely would look something like this

(5x=y)

Hope this helped. I know it's late but it came up on my "Selected for you" section so I decided I'd answer it.

A sphere has a radius of 11 feet. A second sphere has a radius of 8 feet. what is the difference of the volume of thespheres
Veronika [31]

The difference between the volume of the spheres is 3428.88 cubic feet

Explanation:

Given that one sphere has a radius of 11 feet.

A second sphere has a radius of 8 feet.

<u>Volume of the 1st sphere:</u>

The formula to determine the volume of the sphere is given by

V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3

Volume of the 1st sphere is given by

V=\frac{4}{3}(3.14)(11)^3

V=\frac{4}{3}(3.14)(1331)

V=\frac{16717.36}{3}

V=5572.45

The volume of the 1st sphere is 5572.45 cubic feet.

<u>Volume of the 2nd sphere:</u>

Volume of the 2nd sphere is given by

V=\frac{4}{3}(3.14)(8)^3

V=\frac{4}{3}(3.14)(512)

V=\frac{6430.72}{3}

V=2143.57

The volume of the 2nd sphere is 2143.57 cubic feet.

<u>Difference between the volume of the two spheres:</u>

Difference = Volume of the 1st sphere - Volume of the 2nd sphere

                  = 5572.45 - 2143.57

Difference = 3428.88 cubic feet.

Hence, the difference between the volume of the spheres is 3428.88 cubic feet.

Leni [432]

Answer:

Median = 12.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Median is the middle number of the data set from least to greatest.

Reorder the set from  least to greatest:

2, 5, 9, 10, 15, 20, 20, 60

Median = (10+15)/2 = 12.5
