with an expression like 3x6 you can separate parts of the expression using parentheses like: 3(2+4)

you can find ways to separate a variable (like 6) into a sum of two addends

ex 1+5

0+6

3+3

so a distributive version of 3x6 is 3(2+4) = (3x2) + (3x4)

117. Sami opens an account and deposits $100 into it at the end of each month. The account earns 2% per year compounded monthly.

Answer:

The explicit function is:

$S_{n} =Pz^{n-1} +C(\frac{z^{n-1}-1}{z-1} )$

where

$z=(1+\frac{0.02}{12})$

and we calculate S12:

$S_{12} = $1211.06$

Step-by-step explanation:

Expanding a few steps of the compound interest:

$S_{1}=100\\S_{2}=S_{1}(1+\frac{0.02}{12})+100\\S_{3}=S_{2}(1+\frac{0.02}{12})+100\\...\\S_{n}=S_{n-1}(1+\frac{0.02}{12})+100$

We can write:

$(1+\frac{0.02}{12})=z$

$100=C$ for deposits

Then, expanding the previous equations would yield:

$S_{1}=C\\S_{2}=Cz + C\\S_{3}=Cz^{2}+Cz + C\\S_{n}=Cz^{n-1} +...+Cz+C$

This is a geometric series form, which can be simplified to:

$S_{n}=C(\frac{z^{n}-1}{z-1} )$

plugin in the values for the 12 month gives:

$S_{12}=100(\frac{(1+\frac{0.02}{12})^{12} -1}{\frac{0.02}{12}})=1211.0613$

Step-by-step explanation:

do the exponets first. -6 squared is positive 36 because negative times a negative is a positive.

next you multiply 4 and 7 and get 28

you have 28-36+2 and that equals -5
