Use compound interest formula  F=P(1+i)^n twice, one for each deposit and sum the two results.

For the P=$40,000 deposit,
i=10%/2=5%  (semi-annual)
number of periods (6 months), n = 6*2 = 12
Future value (at end of year 6),
F = P(1+i)^n = 40,000(1+0.05)^12 = $71834.253

For the P=20000, deposited at the START of the fourth year, which is the same as the end of the third year.
i=5% (semi-annual
n=2*(6-3), n = 6 
Future value (at end of year 6)
F=P(1+i)^n = 20000(1+0.05)^6 = 26801.913

Total amount after 6 years
= 71834.253 + 26801.913
=98636.17   (to the nearest cent.)

Consider the equation below (in screenshot)
frozen [14]

The <em>approximate</em> solution of the equation shown in the picture is x ≈ 39 / 8 (Right choice: B).

<h3>How to find an approximate solution of a one-variable equation</h3>

The solution of the equation is between x = 4 and x = 5. Now we begin by evaluating each side of the expression (f(x) = x² - 5 · x + 4, g(x) = 2 / (x - 1)) at the average of x = 4 and x = 5.

x = (4 + 5) / 2

x = 4.5

f(4.5) = 4.5² - 5 · 4.5 + 1

f(4.5) = - 5 / 4

g(4.5) = 2 / (4.5 - 1)

g(4.5) = 4 / 7

The solution of the equation is between x = 4.5 and x = 5, then we evaluate at the average:

x = (4.5 + 5) / 2

x = 4.75

f(4.75) = 4.75² - 5 · 4.75 + 1

f(4.75) = - 3 / 16

g(4.75) = 2 / (4.75 - 1)

g(4.75) = 8 / 15

The solution of the equation is between x = 4.75 and x = 5, then we evaluate at the average:

x = (4.75 + 5) / 2

x = 4.875

f(4.875) = 4.875² - 5 · 4.875 + 1

f(4.875) = 25 / 64

g(4.875) = 2 / (4.875 - 1)

g(4.875) = 16 / 31

The <em>approximate</em> solution of the equation shown in the picture is x ≈ 39 / 8 (Right choice: B).

8. first 12 bags for 54m^{2} [/tex]  
 54 ÷ 12 = 4.5
we know: 1 bag for 4.5m^2
36 ÷ 4.5 = 8
so 36m^2 we must use 8 bags

9. \frac{5}{8}x2 =5x2/8= 10/8 = 5/4 = 1.25
