Hello! I can help you with this!
a. The function that would best represent Samantha's account is f(5) = 500(1 + 0.04)^5. This is because $500 is the principal, the interest rate is 4%, and we're looking for the amount in the savings account 5 years later.
b. Okay. 1 = 0.04 is 1.04. 1.04^5 is 1.216652902. It's a long decimal, but don't delete it. Multiply that decimal by 500 and you get 608.32645 and other numbers behind it or 608 when rounded to the nearest dollar. Samantha will have about $608 in her savings account in 5 years.
Note: The formula goes like this: f(x) = P(1 + r)^x. This means, you add 1 and the simple interest rate in decimal form together and raise that up by the exponent. There is no shortcuts for this, so you'll have to use the calculator. There will be a very long decimal, but don't clear it. Instead, multiply it by the principal to get the answer. It seems very complicating, but if you do this right, it gets easier overtime and you'll make less errors. There are more complex problems out there, so this formula is very important, but it was kept simple for this question.
Answer:
x=6 y=-9
Step-by-step explanation:
- Layer the equations on each other as you would in a subtraction problem:
8x + 2y=30
7x + 2y=24
- Subtract the equation just like you would normally. This should leave 1x=6 or x=6.
- Now that you have your x value, plug it in as x for one of the equations. For the 2nd equation, this leaves:
42+2y=24 then
2y=-18 then
y=-9
- Double check your y value by plugging x=6 into the first equation. This should also leave y=-9.
1 gallon = 2.93
2 gallons = 5.86
3 gallons = 8.86
Therefore the correct table is D.
subtract 6 from the 21x+6. Then divide by 21. The answer is going to be -6/21
<h3>Answer:</h3>
a) l = 5 + 2w
b) P = 2(l +w) = 2(5 +2w +w)
c) w = 8 cm, l = 21 cm
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
a) Using w for width, twice the width is 2w, and 5 more than that is 5+2w. This is your expression for l:
... l = 5 + 2w
b) The perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides, so is the sum of twice the length and twice the width.
... P = 2(l +w) = 2(5 +2w + w) . . . . substituting for l using the expression of (a)
c) Substituting the given perimeter, we have ...
... 58 = 2(5 +3w) = 10 + 6w . . . . . collect terms, eliminate parentheses
... 48 = 6w . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 10
... 8 = w . . . . . . . . divide by 6
... l = 5 + 2·8 = 21 . . . . . find length using the formula for it
Dimensions are in centimeters, so we can write the solution as ...
- width = 8 cm
- length = 21 cm
