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

<h3>Answer:  37 degrees</h3>

========================================================

Explanation:

The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. The angle of light coming in is the same as the angle of light bouncing out. Each angle is made with the dashed line as the diagram shows.

So angle RMI = 106 is bisected, i.e. divided in half, to get

  • Angle RMN = 53
  • Angle NMI = 53

since 106/2 = 53

Then notice that the horizontal dashed line is perpendicular to the vertical mirror. This means angle NMJ is a 90 degree angle and,

angle RMJ = (angle NMJ) - (angle RMN)

angle RMJ = 90 - 53

angle RMJ = 37 degrees

----------

In short: divide 106 in half to get 53, then subtract it from 90
