Remark

The trick here is to realize that you have to find the number both have in order to find the difference. That means you take (effectively) 3/8 and 5/8 to find out how much each of them has. The 8 stands for the 136

Step One

Find the number of stamps Alex has. Remember his ratio is the smaller so he will have 3/8

Alex = 3/8 * 136

Alex = 408/8 = 51

Step 2

Find the number that Freddy has.

The total is 136

<u>Formula</u>

Freddy = Total - Alex

Freddy = 136 - 51

Freddy = 85

<u>Check</u>

Let us see if 5/8 * 136 = 85

5*136/8 = 680 / 8 = 85 So your answers are correct.

Difference

Difference = 85 - 51 = 34 which is how many more stamps Freddy has than Alex.

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

(-i)⁵ can be written as (-i)² * (-i)² * (-i). Since (-i)² is the same as i², this equals -1 * (-1) * (-i) which becomes -i.

On the day Alexander was born, his father invested $5000in an account with a 1.2% annual growth rate. Write a function, A(t) tha
stepladder [879]

Answer:

Equation:  A(t)=5000(1.012)^n

Worth more in 32 yr than in 17 yr by:  $1199.92

Step-by-step explanation:

THe compound growth formula is:

F=P(1+r)^n

Where

F is the future amount (here, A(t))

P is the initial amount, here 5000

r is the rate of growth in decimal, 1.2% = 1.2/100 = 0.012

n is the time in years

Thus, we can say the function would be:

A(t)=5000(1+0.012)^n\\A(t)=5000(1.012)^n

Now, we want how much more it will be worth when 17 years and 32 years. We find the future amount, A(t), when n= 17 and n = 32 and find the difference. Shown below:

A(t)=5000(1.012)^n\\A(17)=5000(1.012)^{17}\\=6124.05

and

A(32)=5000(1.012)^{32}\\=7323.97

So, it will be worth more by:

7323.97 - 6124.05 = $1199.92
