Merle Fonda opened a new savings account. She deposited $40,000 at 10% compounded semiannually. At the start of the fourth year,

Merle deposits an additional $20,000 that's also compounded semiannually at 10%. At the end of six years, what's the balance in Merle's account?

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.)

The population of a city has decreased by 35% since it was last measured. If the current population is 9100 , what was the previ
Alina [70]

The previous population was 14000.

Explanation

The population decreased by 35% since the last measurement. So the current population is less than the previous population.

current population=9100

previous population =x

current population is 35% less than the previous population x

9100=x*(100-35)/100\\9100=(x*65)/100\\x=(100*9100)/65=14000

The previous population was 14000.

Use graphing to find the solutions to the system of equations.
Galina-37 [17]
In order to utilize the graph, first you have to distinguish which graph accurately pertains to the two functions.

This can be done by rewriting the equations in the form y = mx + b which can be graphed with ease; where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

-x^2 + y = 1
y = x^2 + 1

So this will be a basic y = x^2 parabola where the center intercepts on the y axis at (0, 1)

-x + y = 2
y = x +2

So this will be a basic y = x linear where the y intercept is on the y axis at (0, 2)

The choice which depicts these two graphs correctly is the first choice. The method to find the solutions to the system of equations by using the graph is by determining the x coordinate of the points where the two graphed equations intersect.

Find the measures of an interior angle and an exterior angle of a regular hexagon. The measure of an interior angle is 120. The
Tom [10]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a hexagon has 6 interior angles and the measure of one is 120°, then

sum of interior angles = 6 × 120° = 720°

exterior angle = 180° - interior angle = 180° - 120° = 60°
