X=length
y=width
Area (rectangle)=length x width
we suggest this system of  equations:
y=x/5
xy=9/20
solve this system of equations by substitution method:
x(x/5)=9/20
x²/5=9/20
Least common multiple=20
4x²=9
x²=9/4
x=⁺₋√(9/4)
we have two solutions:
x₁=-3/2   it does not validate
x₂=3/2    ⇒y=x/5=(3/2)/5=3/10

The dimensions of the lake are:
lengh=3/2 miles
width=3/10 miles

to check:
Area=3/2 miles x 3/10 miles=9/20 miles².
width is 1/5 the length of the lake ⇒  3/10 miles=(3/2) /5 miles

Your bank is offering a savings account with a nominal rate of 1.5%, compounded continuously. If you deposit $1,000 in 2010, wha
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

$1,161.83

1.51%

Step-by-step explanation:

Continuously compounded interest is:

A = Pe^(rt)

where A is the final amount,

P is the initial amount,

r is the rate per time,

and t is time.

Given P = 1000, r = 0.015, and t = 10:

A = 1000e^(0.015 × 10)

A = 1000e^(0.15)

A = 1161.83

The effective annual yield is the annually compounded rate needed to have the same yield after the same time.  For continuously compounded interest, he equation for effective annual yield is:

R = -1 + e^r

R = -1 + e^0.015

R = 0.0151

The effective annual yield is 1.51%.
