Answer:

Part A: The value of the simple interest investment at the end of three years is $12,220

Part B: The value of the compounded quarterly interest investment at the end of three years is $12,134.08

Part C: The simple interest investment is better over the first three years

Part D: I advise George to invest his money in the compounded interest investment if he will keep the money for a long time

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

A = P + P r t, where

  • A represents the value of the investment
  • P represents the original amount
  • r represents the  rate in decimal
  • t represents the time in years

∵ George deposits $10,000

∴ P = 10,000

∵ First option offers 7.4% per year simple interest

∴ r = 7.4% = 7.4 ÷ 100 = 0.074

∵ He may not withdraw any of  the money for three years after

   the initial deposit

∴ t = 3

- Substitute all of these values in the formula above

∴ A = 10,000 + 10,000(0.074)(3)

∴ A = 10,000 + 2,220

∴ A = 12,220

The value of the simple interest investment at the end of three years is $12,220

Part B:

A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}, where

  • A represents the value of the investment
  • P represents the original amount
  • r represents the  rate in decimal
  • n is a number of periods of a year
  • t represents the time in years

∵ George deposits $10,000

∴ P = 10,000

∵ The second option offers a 6.5% interest rate compounded quarterly

∴ r = 6.5% = 6.5 ÷ 100 = 0.065

∴ n = 4 ⇒ quarterly

∵ He may not withdraw any of  the money for three years after

   the initial deposit

∴ t = 3

- Substitute all of these values in the formula above

∴ A=10,000(1+\frac{0.065}{4})^{(4)(3)}

∴ A=10,000(1.01625)^{12}

∴ A = 12,134.08

The value of the compounded quarterly interest investment at the end of three years is $12,134.08

Part C:

∵ 12,220 > 12,134.08

∴ The simplest interest investment is better than the compounded

    interest investment at the end of three years

The simple interest investment is better over the first three years

Part D:

I advise George to invest his money in the compounded interest investment if he will keep the money for a long time

Look to the attached graph below

  • The red line represents the simple interest investment
  • The blue curve represents the compounded interest investment
  • (Each 1 unit in the vertical axis represents $1000)
  • After 0 years and before 4.179 years the red line is over the blue curve, that means the simple interest is better because it gives more money than the compounded interest
  • After that the blue curve is over the red line that means the compounded quarterly is better because it gives more money than the simple interest

Answer:

9.5 * 10^-2 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total thickness, we proceed to add the two thickness that we have

Mathematically, this will be;

0.025 mm + 7 * 10^-2 mm

7 * 10^-2 mm = 0.07

So we have;

0.025 mm + 0.07 mm = 0.095

In scientific notation, this is 9.5 * 10^-2 mm

I need help ASAP anyone
eduard

Answer:

90

Step-by-step explanation:

there is 6 sides of box

2 bigger and 4 smaller

area of bigger side is 5×5 = 25 this is the area of one side as we have 2 sides so are of both sides is 25 + 25 = 50

now come to the smaller sides ( we have 4 here)

are of one side is 2× 5 = 10

so are of all 4 sides is 10× 4 = 40

now we get area of 4 smaller sides and 2 bigger sides

total area of box is 40+ 50 = 90

hope you understand

Answer:

9x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this, we can make an equation and add like terms.

The equation is 2x+3x-1+4x-2=p. P stands for perimeter.

Now, simplify. Add like terms.

9x-1-2=p

9x-3=p

9x-3

The answer is D. 9x-3

Hope this helps!
