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

Fantom [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:Answer:

1cm = 50

2 cm = 50 x 2

3cm = 50 x 3

and the inverse:50m = 50/50 = 1cm

100m = 100/50 = 2cm

150m = 150/50 = 3cm

381m = 381/

If FX) = 3x+6, which of the following is the inverse of Fx)?
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

C. F'(x) = x - 6 / 3

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 3x + 6

x = 3y + 6 \\ x - 6 = 3y + 6 - 6

\frac{x - 6}{3}  =  \frac{3y}{3}

y =  \frac{x - 6}{3}

f1 =  \frac{x - 6}{3}

Let p: x < −3
Serhud [2]

Answer:

B. x > 3 or x < −3

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

p: x < −3

q: x > 3

Since, we know that,

The symbol v is known as 'disjunction', which is in other words represented by 'union', 'or'.

Thus, 'p ∨ q' means 'either p holds or q holds'.

Hence, we get,

'p ∨ q' is represented by 'either x <-3 or x > 3'.

i.e. 'p ∨ q' is represented by 'either x > 3 or x <-3'.

Thus, option B is correct.
