Answer:
8.85% per year
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the interest rate of a compounding interest, we use the formula:
![r=n[(\dfrac{A}{P})^{\dfrac{1}{nt}}-1]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=r%3Dn%5B%28%5Cdfrac%7BA%7D%7BP%7D%29%5E%7B%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7Bnt%7D%7D-1%5D)
Before we start solving, let's break down all the variables that we have.
A = 19,992.71
P = 10,000.00
n = 2
t = 8
r = ?
Now let's put the values into the formula.
![r=2[(\dfrac{19,992.71}{10,000.00})^{\dfrac{1}{2(8)}}-1]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=r%3D2%5B%28%5Cdfrac%7B19%2C992.71%7D%7B10%2C000.00%7D%29%5E%7B%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%288%29%7D%7D-1%5D)
![r=2[(\dfrac{19,992.71}{10,000.00})^{\dfrac{1}{16}}-1]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=r%3D2%5B%28%5Cdfrac%7B19%2C992.71%7D%7B10%2C000.00%7D%29%5E%7B%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7B16%7D%7D-1%5D)
![r=2[(\dfrac{19,992.71}{10,000.00})^{0.0625}-1]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=r%3D2%5B%28%5Cdfrac%7B19%2C992.71%7D%7B10%2C000.00%7D%29%5E%7B0.0625%7D-1%5D)
![r=2[(1.9992.1)^{0.0625}-1]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=r%3D2%5B%281.9992.1%29%5E%7B0.0625%7D-1%5D)
![r=2[1.0442499885-1]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=r%3D2%5B1.0442499885-1%5D)
![r=2[0.0442499885]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=r%3D2%5B0.0442499885%5D)
or 
So the rate the Mrs. Emily Francis got from the bank was 8.85% per year.
Answer:
b. an = 2 • (-3)^(n - 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Before we test a solution or two, we can easily discard most of them.
We see the values alternate of signs (-5 for the 2nd term and +162 for the 5th term)... so the progression factor has to be negative (in order to alternate sign). <u>That already excludes answers A and C.</u>
Normally, a geometric progression has the (n-1) exponent, not (n+1), so our chances seem to be better with B.
We can test both D and B with n = 2, to obtain -6
Let's test answer D before:

The result is -54, not -6... so it's not the right result.
Let's test answer B then:

Right! Let's verify with n=5 to get 162:

Confirmed, answer is B. an = 2 • (-3)^(n - 1)
With the way the equation is written, we can assume that the “x2” is x multiplied by 2.
The x2 and 9x are like terms, and can be simplified to 11x.
Our new equation is
f(x) = 11x + 18
With no exponential functions in the equation, the difference of each value’s output would be 11.
The equation of the line for this question can be stated as,
What does y = when x is -1 or
What does x = when y is 2
So since the slope of the line is 2, we can assume that B and C must be the answers but since you want one answer we need to be more accurate.
The answer is C
Because when y = 0 x = -1 and when y = 2 x = 0
Answer: 12+ 3n - 2 = 40
