Answer:

Answer:

Option B is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We will compare the interest earned by both.

Tasha: p = $5000

r = 6% or 0.06

n = 1

So, Amount after a year will be = = $5300

And amount the next year with p = 5300: 5300*1.06= $5618

Additional $5000 at 8%

Here the amount will be = =5400

Next year amount with p = 5400 : 5400*1.08 = $ 5832

Amount in total Tasha will have in 2 years = 5618+5832 = 11450

Thomas:

p = 10000

r = 7% or 0.07

n = 1

After a year the amount will be = =$10700

Amount Next year with p = 10700 : 10700*1.07 = $11449

*****Just after 1 year we can see that Tasha's total amount is high than Thomas. This means at the same consistent rate, each year Tasha's amount will always be higher than Thomas.

So, option B is correct. Tasha’s investment will yield more over many years because the amount invested at 8% causes the overall total to increase faster.

What is -3/4 + 3/8? Thanks.

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

$- \frac{3}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we change both denominators to the LCM (lowest common multiple) which is 8.

$- \frac{3}{4} + \frac{3}{8} = - \frac{6}{8} + \frac{3}{8}$

Since the denominators are the same, we can add the numerators.

$\frac{ - 6 + 3}{8}$

$\frac{ - 3}{8}$

or it can be written as

$- \frac{3}{8}$

Use the following steps to prove that log b(xy)- log bx+ log by.

borishaifa [10]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

a. $x=b^p$

$y=b^q$

Taking both sides log

$log x=plog b$

Using identity: $logx^y=ylogx$

$p=\frac{logx}{log b}=log_b x$

Using identity: $log_x y=\frac{log y}{log x}$

$log y=qlog b$

$q=\frac{log y}{log b}=log_b y$

b. $xy=b^pb^q$

We know that

$x^a\cdot x^b=x^{a+b}$

Using identity

$xy=b^{p+q}$

c. $log_b(xy)=log_b(b^{p+q})$

$log_b(xy)=(p+q)log_b b$

Substitute the values then we get

$log_b(xy)=(log_b x+log_b y)$

By using $log_b b=1$

Hence, $log_b(xy)=log_b x+log_b y$

Sum of 2 numbers is 42, and their difference is 8. What are the numbers?

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

25 , 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the unknown two numbers be x & y.

According to the question,

Sum of 2 numbers is 42.

x + y = 42 ⇒ ( 1 )

Their difference is 8.

x - y = 8 ⇒ ( 2 )

First let us find the value of x.

( 1 ) + ( 2 )

x + y + x - y = 42 + 8

2x = 50

Divide both sides by 2.

x = 25

And now let us find the value of y.

x + y = 42

25 + y = 42

y = 42 - 25

y = 17

Therefore, the two numbers are 25 , 17

Hope this helps you :-)

Let me know if you have any other questions :-)

Fill in the blanks.<br> (3b^3)^2 = _b^_

Radda [10]

We can seperate (3b³) into two different parts, the constant and the variable.

The constant (3) and the variable (b) can both be squared and multiplied to get the correct answer, so:

3² = 9

(b³)² = $b^{6}$

So, $(3b^{3})^{2} = 9b^{6}$
