The amount needed in the account when Frost retires is given by the annuity formula. Compounding is 2 times per year.
.. A = Pi/(n(1 -(1 +r/n)^(-nt)))
.. 17900 = P*.08/(2*(1 -(1 +.08/2)^(-2*12)))
.. 17900 = P*.04/(1 -(1.04^-24))
.. P ≈ 272,920.64
The compound interest formula can be used to find the present value required. 4015 days is 11 years (ignoring leap years), so the amount to deposit can be calculated from
.. A = P*(1 +r/n)^(nt)
.. 272,920.64 = P*(1 +.08/2)^(2*11) = P*1.04^22
.. P ≈ 115,160.33
We don't know about the company's obligation to Robert. To fulfill its obligation to Frost, it must deposit 115,160.33 today.
I just did this test the answer is B :-)
If the second equation is y=-3x+4 then they would be parallel and I found that by turning the first equation into y=mx+b and you subtract x from both sides of the equation and get -3y=-x+15 and then you divide both sides of the equation by -3 to get the y by itself and that turns into y=1/3x-5 and since 1/3 is the reciprocal of -3 they are perpendicular.
Initial velocity of the plane is Vo = 0.
acceleration a = 1.3 m/s2
total distance = 2.5 km = 2500m
time taken to reach 2.5 km with 1.3m/s^2 acceleration = t
S = Vo t + 0.5 a t^2
2500 = 0 + (0.5*1.3* t^2)
t^2 = 3846.15
t = 62 s
the maximum velocity plan can reach within 62 s is Vt
Vt = Vo + a t
Vt = 0 + (1.3*62)
Vt = 80.6 m/s
Since 80.6 m/s is greater than 75 m/s, plane can use this runway to takeoff with required speed.
