Compute each option


option A: simple interest


simple interest is easy

A=I+P

A=Final amount

I=interest

P=principal (amount initially put in)


and I=PRT

P=principal

R=rate in decimal

T=time in years


so given

P=15000

R=3.2% or 0.032 in deecimal form

T=10


A=I+P

A=PRT+P

A=(15000)(0.032)(10)+15000

A=4800+15000

A=19800

Simple interst pays $19,800 in 10 years




Option B: compound interest

for interest compounded yearly, the formula is

A=P(1+r)^t

where A=final amount

P=principal

r=rate in decimal form

t=time in years


given

P=15000

r=4.1% or 0.041

t=10


A=15000(1+0.041)^{10}

A=15000(1.041)^{10}

use your calculator

A=22418.0872024

so after 10 years, she will have $22,418.09 in the compounded interest account





in 10 years, the investment in the simple interest account will be worth $19,800 and the investment in the compounded interest account will be worth$22,418.09

The area of a rectangle painiting is given by the trinomial x^2-9x-36. what are the possible dimensions of the painting ? use fa
bagirrra123 [75]
<span> (x + 3) • (x - 12)
</span>

The first term is, <span> <span>x2</span> </span> its coefficient is <span> 1 </span>.
The middle term is, <span> -9x </span> its coefficient is <span> -9 </span>.
The last term, "the constant", is <span> -36 </span>

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant <span> <span> 1</span> • -36 = -36</span> 

Step-2 : Find two factors of  -36  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is  <span> -9 </span>.

<span><span>     -36   +   1   =   -35</span><span>     -18   +   2   =   -16</span><span>     -12   +   3   =   -9   That's it</span></span>


Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above,  -12  and  3 
                     <span>x2 - 12x</span> + 3x - 36

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
                    x • (x-12)
              Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
                    3 • (x-12)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
                    (x+3)  •  (x-12)
             Which is the desired factorization

Final result :<span> (x + 3) • (x - 12)</span>
