Answer:

It will take Jacob 36 years to reach his goal

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, Jacob is intending to save $50,000 but he is doing this by saving $5,000 at an interest which is compounded two times a year (semi-annually). We are tasked with calculating the number of years it will take him.

Mathematically, to solve this, what we use is the compound interest formula.

This is;

A = P(1 + r/n)^nt

Where in the question A is our savings target of $50,000

P is our initial amount saved of $5,000

r is the rate at 6.5%

n is the number of times interest will be compounded per year= 2

and t is the number of years it will take.

We plug all these values respectively to yield;

50,000 = 5,000(1 + 0.065/2)^(2t)

Divide through by 5,000

we have;

10 = (1.0325)^2t

Take the logarithm of both sides

Log 10 = Log (1.0325)^2t

Log 10 = 2tLog (1.0325)

2t = Log10/Log1.0325

2t = 72

t = 72/2

t = 36 years

Please help me solve this for 15 points! <br><br>-x2 + 4x - 54 = 0​
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

x1 =2-5i*sqrt(2)

x2 =2+5i*sqrt(2)

Step-by-step explanation:

-x^2 +4x-54=0 (quadratic equation)

a=-1, b=4, c=-54

x1=(-b+sqrt(b^2-4ac))/2a

x1=(-4+sqrt(4^2 - 4*(-1)(-54))/2*(-1)

x1=(-4+sqrt(16-216))/(-2)

x1 =(-4+sqrt(-200))/(-2)

x1 =(-4+sqrt(200i^2))/(-2) i^2=-1

x1 =(-4+sqrt(100*2*i^2))/(-2)

x1 =(-4+10i*sqrt(2))/(-2)

x1 =2-5i*sqrt(2)

x2 =(-b-sqrt(b^2-4ac))/2a

x2 =(-4-10i*sqrt(2))/(-2)

x2 =2+5i*sqrt(2)

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

So for QR is 1-(-3)=4

QT:|-2-2|=4

TS: |-2-(-2)|=4

RS: 2-(-2)=4

and they plus together is 4x

4x4 = 16

I hope this helps, have a blessed day. :D

Lunch break: In a recent survey of 655 working Americans ages 25-34, the average weekly amount spent on lunch was $43.5
Inga [223]

Using the Empirical Rule, it is found that:

  • a) Approximately 99.7% of the amounts are between $35.26 and $51.88.
  • b) Approximately 95% of the amounts are between $38.03 and $49.11.
  • c) Approximately 68% of the amounts fall between $40.73 and $46.27.

------------

The Empirical Rule states that, in a <em>bell-shaped </em>distribution:

  • Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.
  • Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.
  • Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

-----------

Item a:

43.5 - 3(2.77) = 35.26

43.5 + 3(2.77) = 51.88

Within <em>3 standard deviations of the mean</em>, thus, approximately 99.7%.

-----------

Item b:

43.5 - 2(2.77) = 38.03

43.5 + 2(2.77) = 49.11

Within 2<em> standard deviations of the mean</em>, thus, approximately 95%.

-----------

Item c:

  • 68% is within 1 standard deviation of the mean, so:

43.5 - 2.77 = 40.73

43.5 + 2.77 = 46.27

Approximately 68% of the amounts fall between $40.73 and $46.27.
