Answer:

There will be $5624.32 in the account after 3 years if the interest is compounded annually.

There will be $5630.812 in the account after 3 years if the interest is compounded semi-annually.

There will be $5634.125 in the account after 3 years if the interest is compounded quarterly.

There will be $5636.359 in the account after 3 years if the interest is compounded monthly

Step-by-step explanation:

Tamira invests $5,000 in an account

Rate of interest = 4%

Time = 3 years

Case 1:

Principal = 5000

Rate of interest = 4%

Time = 3 years

No. of compounds per year = 1

Formula : $A=P(1+r)^t$

$A=5000(1+0.04)^3$

A=5624.32

There will be $5624.32 in the account after 3 years if the interest is compounded annually.

Case 2:

Principal = 5000

Rate of interest = 4%

Time = 3 years

No. of compounds per year = 2

Formula : $A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

$A=5000(1+\frac{0.04}{2})^{2 \times 3}$

A=5630.812

There will be $5630.812 in the account after 3 years if the interest is compounded semi-annually.

Case 3:

Principal = 5000

Rate of interest = 4%

Time = 3 years

No. of compounds per year = 4

Formula : $A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

$A=5000(1+\frac{0.04}{4})^{4 \times 3}$

A=5634.125

There will be $5634.125 in the account after 3 years if the interest is compounded quarterly.

Case 4:

Principal = 5000

Rate of interest = 4%

Time = 3 years

No. of compounds per year = 4

Formula : $A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

$A=5000(1+\frac{0.04}{12})^{12 \times 3}$

A=5636.359

There will be $5636.359 in the account after 3 years if the interest is compounded monthly

The outer and inner triangles are both equilateral and the circle touches all three sides of the outer triangle. If the area of

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

The area of outer Δ = 40 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ Area of the small triangle = 10 cm²

If we join the center of the circle with the 3 vertices of the inner Δ

These 3 segments are the radii of the circle

Now the inner triangle has 3 isosceles Δ their sides are r , r and s1 with vertex angle 120° ⇒ (360° ÷ 3 = 120°)

Where r is the radius of the circle and s1 is the side of the inner triangle

<em>By using cosine rule</em>

(s1)² = r² + r² - 2r²cos120 = r² + r² - 2r² (-0.5) = r² + r² + r² = 3r²

∴ s1 = r√3

∵ The radius of the circle ⊥ to the side of the outer Δ because the side of the outer Δ is a tangent to the circle

If we join a vertex of the outer Δ with the center of the circle

We will have a right angle triangle of two legs r and half s2 with angle 60° (120° ÷ 2 )between them ⇒ s2 is the side of outer Δ

∴ tan 60° = 1/2 (s2) ÷ r ⇒ √3 = 1/2 (s2) ÷ r = (s2)/2r

∴ s2 = 2r√3

∴ s2 : s1 = 2r√3 ÷ r√3 = 2 : 1

∴ The side of the outer Δ is double the side of the inner Δ

<em>By using similarity ratio</em>

A2/A1 = (s2/s1)² ⇒ A2 and A1 are the areas of outer and inner triangles

∴ A2 : A1 = (2/1)² = 4/1

∴ A2 = 4 A1

∴ A2 = 4 × 10 = 40 cm²

A student takes an exam containing 1414 multiple choice questions. The probability of choosing a correct answer by knowledgeable

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

0.0082 = 0.82% probability that he will pass

Step-by-step explanation:

For each question, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the students guesses the correct answer, or he guesses the wrong answer. The probability of guessing the correct answer for a question is independent of other questions. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this problem we have that:

$n = 14, p = 0.3$ .

If the student makes knowledgeable guesses, what is the probability that he will pass?

He needs to guess at least 9 answers correctly. So

$P(X \geq 9) = P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) + P(X = 11) + P(X = 12) + P(X = 13) + P(X = 14)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 9) = C_{14,9}.(0.3)^{9}.(0.7)^{5} = 0.0066$

$P(X = 10) = C_{14,10}.(0.3)^{10}.(0.7)^{4} = 0.0014$

$P(X = 11) = C_{14,11}.(0.3)^{11}.(0.7)^{3} = 0.0002$

$P(X = 12) = C_{14,12}.(0.3)^{12}.(0.7)^{2} = 0.000024$

$P(X = 13) = C_{14,13}.(0.3)^{13}.(0.7)^{1} = 0.000002$

$P(X = 14) = C_{14,14}.(0.3)^{14}.(0.7)^{0} \cong 0$

$P(X \geq 9) = P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) + P(X = 11) + P(X = 12) + P(X = 13) + P(X = 14) = 0.0066 + 0.0014 + 0.0002 + 0.000024 + 0.000002 = 0.0082$

0.0082 = 0.82% probability that he will pass

Find the 75th term of the arithmetic sequence -1, 15, 31, ...−1,15,31,...

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

1183

Step-by-step explanation:

Common difference:

d = 31 - 15 = 16

nth term:

$a_n = a_1 + (n - 1)d$

Here, $a_1 = -1$

$a_{75} = -1 + (75 - 1)(16)$

$a_{75} = 1183$
