The right expression to calculate how much money will be in an investment account 14 years from now if you deposit $5,000 now an

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

The expression to compute the amount in the investment account after 14 years is: FV = [5000 ×(1.10)¹⁴] + [3000 ×(1.10)⁸].

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to compute the future value is:

$FV=PV[1+\frac{r}{100}]^{n}$

PV = Present value

r = interest rate

n = number of periods.

It is provided that $5,000 were deposited now and $3,000 deposited after 6 years at 10% compound interest. The amount of time the money is invested for is 14 years.

The expression to compute the amount in the investment account after 14 years is,

$FV=5000[1+\frac{10}{100}]^{14}+3000[1+\frac{10}{100}]^{14-6}\\FV=5000[1+0.10]^{14}+3000[1+0.10]^{8}$

The future value is:

$FV=5000[1+0.10]^{14}+3000[1+0.10]^{8}\\=18987.50+6430.77\\=25418.27$

Thus, the expression to compute the amount in the investment account after 14 years is: FV = [5000 ×(1.10)¹⁴] + [3000 ×(1.10)⁸].

Which statement best explains the value of 16 − (−3)?

amm1812

Answer:

The additive inverse of −3 is +3, so 16 − (−3) = 19

negative 6 over 8 minus negative 1 over 8 = negative 5 over 8; therefore, the distance from A to B is absolute value of negative 5 over 8 equals negative 5 over 8 units

Because it is 3 units to the left of 2 on a horizontal number line

Step-by-step explanation:

The answers are the explanation.

Comment on the second question

Note that the second question asks for the distance from -6/8 to -1/8. Ordinarily, the distance from A to B would be computed as B - A. In this set of answer choices, it is computed as |A - B|. In the end, the result is the same.

Personally, I would compute the distance between points on a number line by subtracting the left point from the right point. Here, that would also correspond to B - A.

Comment on choosing 'word' answers

In a set of answers like these, one way to choose answers is simply to eliminate the ones that make a false statement. Often, you are left with only the correct answer choice.

For example, the statement "the additive inverse of -3 is -3" is a false statement, so the first two answer choices can be eliminated. Likewise, the statement 16 -(-3) = 13 is false, so that choice can be eliminated. The one remaining answer is the correct one.

have a good day hope this helped!

Find the amount of the discount on a $140 bicycle that is on sale for 30% off

andreev551 [17]

140x 0.3= 42
140- 42= 98
So A. $98 is correct.
