It takes 24 years for the account value to reach the $9600.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

<u>From the given data, it can be determined that :</u>

  • Amount = $9600
  • Principal = $3200
  • Rate = 8.25% = 0.0825

Number of years should be calculated.

<u>To find the interest :</u>

Amount = Principal + Interest

Therefore, the interest can be calculated by the formula,

Interest = Amount - Principal

⇒ 9600 - 3200

⇒ 6400

The interest needed is 6400.

<u>To find the number of years required to reach this interest :</u>

Use the formula for simple interest,

Simple interest = Pnr /100

where,

  • P is the principal
  • n is the number of years
  • r is the rate

Substitute all the given values in the simple interest formula,

Simple interest = 3200 × n × 0.0825

6400 = 264 n

n = 6400 / 264

n = 24.2 which is approximately 24 years.

Therefore, it takes 24 years for the account value of 3200 dollars to reach 9600 dollars.

2x2 − 1 = 3x + 4 Which equation correctly applies the quadratic formula?
NNADVOKAT [17]

Standard form: ax^2 + bx + c = y

Steps to simplify:

2x^2 - 1 = 3x + 4

~Subtract (3x + 4) to both sides

2x^2 - 1 - 3x + 4 = 3x + 4 - 3x + 4

~Simplify

2x^2 - 3x - 5 = 0

(a = 2, b = -3, c = -5)

Now that we know what these values are, we can use the quadratic formula to solve.

x=\frac{-b-+\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a} \\x = \frac{-(-3)-+\sqrt{-3^2-4(2)(-5)} }{2(2)}\\x= \frac{-3-+\sqrt{49} }{4} \\x=\frac{3-+7}{4} \\x = \frac{10}{4}~or~\frac{-4}{4}  \\x=\frac{5}{2}~or~-1

Answer: x = 5/2 or x = -1

Best of Luck!
