Answer:

Hence final answer is $15.17

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Dirk opened up a savings account with $600.

So P=$600

"At a yearly interest rate of 5 percent"

Means r=5% = 0.05

"compounded monthly" means n=12

i= monthly rate of interest = r/n=0.05/12

"how much interest will Dirk earn in six months." means find Interest when time is 6 months


Plug these values into compound interest formula:

A=P\left(1+i\right)^t

A=600\left(1+\frac{0.05}{12}\right)^6

A=600\left(1+0.00417\right)^6

A=600\left(1.00417\right)^6

A=600\left(1.02528228828\right)

A=615.169372966

which is approx

A=615.17

Now interest earned will be difference of A and P

Interest =A-P=615.17-600=$15.17

Hence final answer is $15.17

zvonat [6]
<span>1) We are given that PA = PB, so PA ≅ PB by the definition of the radius.

</span>When you draw a perpendicular to a segment AB, you take the compass, point it at A and draw an arc of size AB, then you do the same pointing the compass on B. Point P will be one of the intersections of those two arcs. Therefore PA and PB correspond to the radii of the arcs, which were taken both equal to AB, therefore they are congruent. 
 
2) We know that angles PCA and PCB are right angles by the definition of perpendicular.

Perpendicularity is the relation between two lines that meet at a right angle. Since we know that PC is perpendicular to AB by construction, ∠PCA and ∠PCB are right angles.
 
3) PC ≅ PC by the reflexive property congruence.

The reflexive property congruence states that any shape is congruent to itself.

4) So, triangle ACP is congruent to triangle BCP by HL, and AC ≅ BC by CPCTC (corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent). 

CPCTC states that if two triangles are congruent, then all of the corresponding sides and angles are congruent. Since ΔACP ≡ ΔBCP, then the corresponding sides AC and BC are congruent.
 
5) Since PC is perpendicular to and bisects AB, P is on the perpendicular bisector of AB by the definition of the perpendicular bisector. 

<span>The perpendicular bisector of a segment is a line that cuts the segment into two equal parts (bisector) and that forms with the segment a right angle (perpendicular). Any point on the perpendicular bisector has the same distance from the segment's extremities. PC has exactly the characteristics of a perpendicular bisector of AB. </span>

If the die were to be rolled 6000 times, would we expect to obtain exactly 1000 '2's? explain your answer.
ludmilkaskok [199]
The probability of that occurring is 0%. There are 6 sides in a typical dice, which means the probability of rolling a 2 is 1/6th. (1/6)^1000 will give you the probability of rolling a 2 exactly 1000 times. (1/6)^1000 equates to 0%.
