Answer: Compound interest is $36.61

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial amount deposited into the account is $500 This means that the principal,

P = 500

It was compounded annually. This means that it was compounded once in a year. So

n = 1

The rate at which the principal was compounded is 3.5%. So

r = 3.5/100 = 0.035

It was compounded for 2 years. So

t = 2

The formula for compound interest is

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

A = total amount in the account at the end of t years. Therefore

A = 500 (1+0.035/1)^1×2

A = 500(1.035)^2 = $535.61

Compound interest = 535.6 - 500 = $35.61

$35.
500 x .035 = 17.5 < - 1 year interest
17.5x2 = 35 <- 2 years

Suppose you are given information about a triangle according to SSS, SAS, and ASA. For which of these can you immediately use th

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

SSS and SAS

Step-by-step explanation:

Law of cosines: The law of cosines is used for calculating one side of a triangle when the angle opposite and the other two sides are known.

If the information about a triangle according to SSS, SAS and ASA is given, then we will immediately use SSS and SAS by using the law of cosines to find one of the remaining measures because Law of cosines is applied if we know one angle opposite and the other two sides.

Also, in ASA, we know two angles and one side, thus we cannot use Law of cosines in this, rather Law of sines can be accurately use in this case.

if you have two sides, encroaching an angle, then the Law of Cosines can be used to find a missing side, thus SAS will work fine for that, now, if you have no angles given, but you know all sides, you can use the Law of Cosines as well, by solving it for the angle, and get the angles, on which case, SSS will do... .now as far as ASA, if you have two angles and one side known, then... that's not very workable for the law of cosines

Show that x = -2 is a solution of 3x² + 13x + 14 = 0

Oliga [24]

Answer:

x= -2 is correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

3(-2×-2)+13(-2)+14=0

3(4)+13(-2)+14=0

12+(-26)+14=0

12-26+14=0

12+14-26=0

26-26=0

0=0

Answer:

The answer is $668.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Just add 200 to how much you will pay over time. So first multiply 39 by 12 (12 months in a year, 39 per month,) to find out how much you will pay by the end of the year then add 200 to that.
