The Rickerts decided to set up an account for their daughter to pay for her college education. The day their daughter was born,

they deposited $1000 in an account that pays 1.8% compounded annually. Beginning with her first birthday, they deposit an additional $750 into the account on each of her birthdays. Which expression correctly represents the amount of money in the account n years after their daughter was born?1) an = 1000(1.018)n + 750.2) an = 1000(1.018)n + 750n.3) a0 = 1000; an = an - 1 (1.018) + 750.4) a0 = 1000; an = an - 1 (1.018) + 750n.

Answer:

The answer is 2) an = 1000(1.018)n + 750n

Step-by-step explanation:

The day their daughter was born, they deposited $1000 in an account that pays 1.8% compounded annually. This means thaht they have an interest of 1.8% of what they deposited each year.  

To know how much interest is in a year, you must first know that 1.8% is the same as 0.018. This is obtained by dividing by 100, that is, you convert from percentage to decimal.

On the other side, what they deposited represents 100%. To convert it to decimal, it must be divided by 100, and it results in 1.

So, you want to know the total amount of money you have after a year, that is, what The Rickerts deposited added interest.

So, all this is represented as follows:

  • 1000*100%(what The Rickerts deposited)+1000*1.8%(interest)

Converting the percentage to decimals:

  • 1000*1+1000*0.018

So, to solve this, a common factor of 1000 will be taken::

  • 1000(1+0.018)
  • 1000*1.018

But with this calculation you get interest after a year. You want to know the amount of money in the account n years after their daughter was born.  For that you must multiply by the number of years of your daughter and you get: <u><em>1000*1.018*n</em></u>

On the other hand,The Rickerts deposit an additional $750 into the account on each of her birthdays. On the first birthday, they deposit 750, on the second birthday 750, and so continuously every birthday. So, to know the amount they deposit on the nth birthday, multiply 750 by n: <u><em>750*n</em></u>

Now, knowing finally both expressions, it is possible to know the total amount of money in the account n years after their daughter was born adding both expressions:

<u><em>an=1000*1.018*n+750*n</em></u>

Find the volume of given prism round to the nearest tenth necessary.
atroni [7]
First, find the area of the base (the triangle) and then multiply it by the height

to find the area of the triangle you need to know the height. cut the triangle in half and you get a right triangle, from there you can use the Pythagorean theorem. remember since you cut the triangle in half you have to divide one of the sides by 2

a^2 + b^2 = c^2              (plug in known information)
a^2 + (7.5)^2 = (15)^2      (solve, first solve the exponents)
a^2 + 56.25 = 225         (subtract 56.25 on both sides)
a^2 = 168.75                    (solve for a, put 168.75 under the square root)

then once you find the area multiply by the known height
