Answer:

Total peanut=324

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the peanut=x

Philip took 1/3 of x

Remaining peanut=x-1/3x

=3x-x/3

=2/3x

Joy took 1/4 of the remaining leaving 3/4

Remaining=(3/4)(2x/3)

=6x/12

=1/2x

Brent took 1/2 of those, leaving 1/2

=(1/2)*(1/2x)

=1/4x

Preston took 10

Remaining

1/4x - 10 = 71

1/4x = 81

x=81÷1/4

=81*4/1

x = 324

Total peanut =324

Philip=1/3x

=1/3*324

=108

Remaining 324-108

=216

Joy=1/4 of 216

=54

Remaining

324-108-54=162

Brent=1/2 of 162

=81

Preston=10

Total taken=Philip+joy+Brent+Preston

=108+54+81+10

=253

Total remaining=Total peanut - total taken

=324-253

=71

f(x) = 2^(4x)

g(x) = 2^x

(fg) = 2^4x * 2^x = 2^5x

NOTE: When multiplying two powers with same base exponents add.

(f/g)(x) = (2^4x)/(2^x) = 2^3x

NOTE: And when dividing they subtract.

Answer: a and c

How much money should be deposited today in an account that earns 7% compounded semiannually so that it will accumulate to $12,0
Korvikt [17]

Given rate is = 7% or 0.07

Total amount needed = $12000

Time = 4 years

Here, the  deposit is  compounded semiannually, means twice per year and this gives 8 annual compounding periods in 4 years.

The equation becomes:

P= \frac{12000}{(1+\frac{0.07}{2})^{2.4}}

P = \frac{12000}{1.035^{8}}

Solving it, we get P = $ 9112.93

Hence $9112.93 should be deposited today.
