6 0

48 cubed = 48*48*48

Find factors of 48:
12 and 4
12*4=48

Neither of those numbers are prime factors so we have to break both of then down further.

Find prime factors of 4:
2*2=4

Find factors and prime factors of 12:
12= 4*3
3 is a prime factors but 4 is not. Break down 4 again and get 2*2*3=12

So put that all together and get the prime factors of 48, they are:
2*2*2*2*3

The prime factor of 48 cubed is the same thing as the prime factor of 48 three times

The prime factors are:
2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*3*3*3
(12 2's and 3 3's)

Suppose Miss Roxanne Davenport is 25 years old right now and puts away $1,800 per quarter in an account that returns 6% interest

Lena [83]

We have been given that miss Roxanne is 25 years old and she puts 1800 dollars per quarter that returns 6% interest.

(a) We need to figure out how much will be in the account when she turns 65 years old. When she turns 65 years old, the number of years during which she made deposits would be 40. Since she made quarterly deposits. She made a total of 160 deposits. We can now figure out the final amount in the account using future value of annuity formula.

$A=P\frac{(1+r)^{n}-1}{r}$
