Answer: 8.76%

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the simple interest is given by :-

I=Prt, where P is the principal amount, r is rate of interest () in decimal and t is the time ( in years).   (1)

Given : Justin deposited $2,000 into an account 5 years ago.

i.e. P = $2,000 ,  t= 5 years

He has just withdrawn $2,876. i.e. Future value = $2,876

Interest (I)=$2,876-$2,000=$876  [Subtract Principal value from Future value]

Substitute all the above values of P , t , and I in the formula (1) , we get

876 =(2000)r(5)\\\\\Rightarrow\ r=\dfrac{876 }{2000\times5}\\\\\Rightarrow r=\dfrac{876}{10000}=0.0876

In percent , r=0.0876\times100=8.76\%

Hence, the rate of interest = 8.76%

5. a) A business company made a profit of Rs 24,00,000 in the last year. The management decided to distribute 20 % bonus from th
viva [34]

Answer:

a) = Rs 16000

b) = 5%

c) = Rs 30,000,000

10% = 24,000,00/10 = Rs 240,000

20% = 240,000 x 2 = Rs 480,000

480,000/30 = Rs 16000

b) The bonus percentage needs to be increased by 5%

explanation:

Since every worker needs Rs 20000 we need to times it by 30

20000 x 30 = Rs 600,000

600,000 - 480,000 = Rs 120,000

Now we need to find the percentage of Rs 120,000

10% = Rs 240,000

5% = 240,000 divide by 2 = Rs 120,000

This is the best I can do for now please let me know if you understood the answer!

Malcolm wanted to build a dog run with an area of 64. What is the smallest perimeter the dog run could be
Brrunno [24]
The shape with the most area with the smallest perimiter is the circle
first find the radius
then find the circumfernece(permiter)
so
area=64
shape=circle
area of circle=pi times r^2
pi times r^2=64
divide both sides by pi (aprox 3.141592)
r^2=20.3718
square root both sdies
r=4.5

circumference=2pi times r
2 times 3.141592 times 4.5=28.36
perimiter is 28.36

Subtract x3 – 7x2 + 3 from the sum of - 3x3 + x2 and – x2 + 4x - 3.
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

x3 – 7x2 + 3------  x3 - 7x2 + 3

3x3 + x2-----------x2 • (3x + 1)

x2 + 4x - 3------------ x2 + 4x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

 ((x3) -  7x2) +  3

Step  2  :

Polynomial Roots Calculator :

2.1    Find roots (zeroes) of :       F(x) = x3-7x2+3

Polynomial Roots Calculator is a set of methods aimed at finding values of  x  for which   F(x)=0  

Rational Roots Test is one of the above mentioned tools. It would only find Rational Roots that is numbers  x  which can be expressed as the quotient of two integers

The Rational Root Theorem states that if a polynomial zeroes for a rational number  P/Q   then  P  is a factor of the Trailing Constant and  Q  is a factor of the Leading Coefficient

In this case, the Leading Coefficient is  1  and the Trailing Constant is  3.

The factor(s) are:

of the Leading Coefficient :  1

of the Trailing Constant :  1 ,3

Let us test ....

  P    Q    P/Q    F(P/Q)     Divisor

     -1       1        -1.00        -5.00      

     -3       1        -3.00        -87.00      

     1       1        1.00        -3.00      

     3       1        3.00        -33.00    

Hope this helps.
