The effective rate is calculated in the following way:
r =  {(1 +  \frac{i}{n} )}^{n} - 1
where r is the effective annual rate, i the interest rate, and n the number of compounding periods per year (for example, 12 for monthly compounding).
our compounding period is 2 since the bank pays us semiannually(two times per year) and our interest rate is 8%
so lets plug in numbers:
r = {(1 +  \frac{8\%}{2}) }^{2}  - 1 \\ r =  {(1 +  \frac{1}{25}) }^{2}  - 1 \\ r =  \frac{676}{625}  - 1 \\ r = 0.0816 \: or \: 8.16\%

Conversion. Write a reduced fraction notation for 0.56.
____ [38]

Answer:

Reduced fraction: 14/25

Step-by-step explanation:

To write 0.56 in terms of fractions we need to multiply and divide the number by 100:

(0.56 * 100)/100 = 56/100. Then we simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by the common factor 2 as many times as possible:

56/100 = 28/50 = 14/25

The fraction 14/25 cannot be more simplified

The equation for the pH of a substance is pH = –log[H+], where H+ is the concentration of hydrogen ions. Which equation models t
Zanzabum

Answer:  [H+] = 10^-7.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the PH of the solution = 7.2

Using the formula pH = –log[H+]. To get the H+ concentration from the pH, raise both sides by the base of 10. Then we have

10^ -pH = H+. with pH of 7.2,

Thus the answer to this problem is

[H+] = 10^-7.2
