C. Hummingbirds are hovering over the geraniums while caterpillars munched leaves.

This is because the tense of the hummingbirds is in the "ing" form, while the tense of the caterpillars is in past tense, or the "ed" form. Because these tenses do not agree, it is an inappropriate shift in verb tense.

You have $5600. The best interest rate you can find is 3%

Answer:

18 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for computing accrued amount A for a principal of P at an interest rate of r(in decimal) compounded n times in a year for t years is given by

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

Note that r is percentage converted to decimal. So 3% = 3/100 = 0.03

We can rearrange the above equation to:

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

Taking logs on both sides

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

This gives

$log(\frac{A}{P}) =nt \times log(1 + \frac{r}{n})\\So,\\nt = \frac{log(\frac{A}{P})}{ log(1 + \frac{r}{n})}$

In this particular problem, n = 4, , A= 9600, P = 5600, r =0.03, so r/n = 0.03/4 = 0.0075

1 + r/n = 1+0.0075 = 1.0075

4t = log(9600/5600)/log(1.0075) = log(1.714) / log(1.0075) = 0.234 /0.00325 = 72

t = 72/4 = 18 years
