Answer:

Each roll of streamers is $2.50 and each package of balloons is $1.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of rolls of streamers and y represent the number of packages of balloons.

3 rolls of streamers, 3x, and 2 packages of balloons, 2y, cost 10.00; this gives us

3x + 2y = 10

2 rolls of streamers, 2x, and 1 package of balloons, 1y, cost 6.25; this gives us

2x + 1y = 6.25

This gives us the system of equations

\left \{ {{3x+2y=10} \atop {2x+1y=6.25}} \right.

To solve this, we will use elimination.  First we will make the coefficient of y the same.  We will do this by multiplying the bottom equation by 2:

\left \{ {{3x+2y=10} \atop {2(2x+1y=6.25)}} \right. \\\\\left \{ {{3x+2y=10} \atop {4x+2y=12.50}} \right.

We will eliminate y by subtracting the bottom equation from the top:

\left \{ {{3x+2y=10} \atop {-(4x+2y=12.5)}} \right. \\\\-1x=-2.5

Divide both sides by -1:

-1x/-1 = -2.5/-1

x = 2.5

Each roll of streamers costs $2.50.

Substituting this back into the second equation, we have

2(2.5) + y = 6.25

5 + y = 6.25

Subtract 5 from each side:

5 + y - 5 = 6.25 - 5

y = 1.25

Each package of balloons costs $1.25.

The function in Exercise represents the rate of flow of money in dollars per year. Assume a 10-year period at 8% compounded cont
Kryger [21]

Answer:

a) P= $56,972.5

b) A=$1,26,792.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Data:

Interest rate=r= 0.08  per year

No. of years=t=10

Rate of continuous money flow is given by the function

f(t)=2000

a) to find the present value of money

P=\int\limits^n_0 {f(t)e^{-rt} } \, dt

Put f(t)=2000 and n=10 years and r=0.08

P=\int\limits^n_0 {2000e^{-0.08t} } \, dt

Now integrate

P= {2000(\frac{e^{-0.08t}}{-0.08} )

P= -\frac{2000}{0.08} (e^{-0.08*10}-e^{-0.08*0})

P= -\frac{2000}{0.08} (e^{-0.8}-e^{0})

P= -\frac{2000}{0.08} (0.4493-2.7282)

P= -\frac{2000}{0.08} (-2.2789)

P= -25000(-2.2789)

P= $56972.5

(b) to find the accumulated amount of money at t=10

A=P(e^{rt} )

Where P is the present worth already calculated in part a

A=56972.5(e^{0.08*10} )

A=56972.5(e^{0.8} )

A=56972.5(2.2255 )

A=$1,26,792.3
