X + Y + Z = 8
2x = Z - 2
X + Z = 5
X = 1
1 + Y + Z = 8
Y + Z = 6
1 + Z = 5
Z = 4
1 + Y + 4 = 8
5 + Y = 8
Y = 3
The variables are 1, 3, 4.

Find the future value and interest earned if $8704.56 is invested for 8 years at 4% compounded (a) semiannually and (b) continuo
Sliva [168]

a) The future value, principal plus interest, with compound interest on a principal of $8,704.56 at a rate of 4% per year compounded 2 times per year over 8 years is <u>$11,949.50</u>.

b) The future value, principal plus interest, with compound interest on a principal of $8,704.56 at a rate of 4% per year compounded continuously over 8 years is <u>$11,987.29</u>.

<h3>How is the future value determined?</h3>

The future value can be determined using an online finance calculator.

Data and Calculations:

<h3>a) Compounded Semiannually:</h3>

Principal (P): $8,704.56

Annual Rate (R): 4%

Compound (n): Compounding Semi-Annually

Time (t in years): 8 years

<u>Result</u>:

A = $11,949.50

A = P + I where

P (principal) = $8,704.56

I (interest) = $3,244.94

<h3>Calculation Steps:</h3>

First, convert R as a percent to r as a decimal

r = R/100

r = 4/100

r = 0.04 rate per year,

Then solve the equation for A

A = P(1 + r/n)nt

A = 8,704.56(1 + 0.04/2)(2)(8)

A = 8,704.56(1 + 0.02)(16)

A = $11,949.50

<h3>b) Compounded Continuously:</h3>

Using the formula A = Pert

Principal (P):  $8,704.56

Annual Rate (R): 4%

Compound (n): Compounding Continuously

Time (t in years):   8 years

<u>Result</u>:

A = $11,987.29

A = P + I where

P (principal) = $8,704.56

I (interest) = $3,282.73

<h3>Calculation Steps:</h3>

First, convert R as a percent to r as a decimal

r = R/100

r = 4/100

r = 0.04 rate per year,

Then solve the equation for A, using the mathematical constant, e = 2.71828

A = Pert

A = 8,704.56(2.71828)(0.04)(8)

A = $11,987.29

Thus, while the future value of $8,704.56 at a rate of 4% per year compounded semiannually over 8 years is <u>$11,949.50</u>,  the future value of $8,704.56 at a rate of 4% per year compounded continuously over 8 years is <u>$11,987.29</u>.

Save Work out the size of angle AED.<br> b) Work out x
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

x = 10°

Step-by-step explanation:

a). Since, opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary angles"

   Therefore, in cyclic quadrilateral ABDE,

   m∠ABD + m∠AED = 180°

   110° + m∠AED = 180°

   m∠AED = 180° - 110°

                 = 70°

b). AD = ED [Given]

   m∠EAD = m∠AED [Since, opposite angles of equal sides are equal in measure]

   m∠EAD = m∠AED = 70°

   By triangle sum theorem in ΔABD,

   m∠BAD + m∠ABD + m∠ADB = 180°

   m∠BAD + 110° + 40° = 180°

   m∠BAD = 180 - 150

                 = 30°

    m∠AEB = m∠AED + m∠DAB [By angles addition postulate]

    m∠AEB = 70° + 30°          

                  = 100°

    By triangle sum theorem in the large triangle,

    x° + m∠AEB + m∠EAB = 180°

    x° + 100° + 70° = 180°

    x = 180 - 170

    x = 10°

What is the area of that shaded sector?
melomori [17]

Answer:

50.24

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4x3.14xr^2

r=16 because of the length

90/360= 1/4

so

1/4x3.14x16^2/4

=50.24

4 is our denominator because of the denominator on the fraction
