Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that    

step 1

The compound interest formula is equal to  

A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}  

where  

A is the Final Investment Value  

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested  

r is the rate of interest  in decimal

t is Number of Time Periods  

n is the number of times interest is compounded per year

in this problem we have  

r=10\%=10/100=0.10\\n=4  

substitute in the formula above

A=P(1+\frac{0.10}{4})^{4t}  

A=P(1.025)^{4t}  

Applying property of exponents

A=P[(1.025)^{4}]^{t}  

A=P(1.1038)^{t}  

step 2

The formula to calculate continuously compounded interest is equal to

A=P(e)^{rt}  

where  

A is the Final Investment Value  

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested  

r is the rate of interest in decimal  

t is Number of Time Periods  

e is the mathematical constant number

we have  

r=10\%=10/100=0.10  

substitute in the formula above

A=P(e)^{0.10t}  

Applying property of exponents

A=P[(e)^{0.10}]^{t}  

A=P(1.1052)^{t}  

step 3

Compare the final amount

P(1.1052)^{t} > P(1.1038)^{t}

therefore

Find the difference

P(1.1052)^{t} - P(1.1038)^{t} ----> Additional amount of money you would have in your pocket if you had used a continuously compounded account with the same interest rate and the same principal.

The sum of the ages of Mr Lin and his son Ethan is 38 years. In three years' time, Mr Lin will be three times as old as his son.
Sati [7]

Answer:

Mr.Lin's present age is 30 years now. His son is 8 years old now.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L = Mr.Lin's present age,

   S = his son's present age.

First equation  is

L + S = 38.       (1)

The second equation is  

L + 3 = 3*(S+3)   (2)   ("In three years' time, Mr.Lin will be three times as old as his son.")

From (1), express S = 38-L and substitute it into (2). You  will get

L + 3 = 3*((38-L)+3),   or

L + 3 = 114 - 3L + 9,

4L = 114 + 9 - 3,  

4L = 120,

L = 30.

ahrayia [7]
In 1992: t=0 and A=169 million
In 1999: t=7 and P= 174 million

Solve for k: blah blah blah

In 2010: t=18

The answer is : 182 million (trust me)
