Carla wants to start a college fund for her daughter Lila. She puts $63,000 into an account that grows at a rate of 2.55% per ye

ar, compounded monthly. Write a function, C(t), that represents the amount of money in the account t years after the account is opened, given that no more money is deposited into or withdrawn from the account. Calculate algebraically the number of years it will take for the account to reach $100,000, to the nearest hundredth of a year.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for determining compound interest which is expressed as

A = P(1+r/n)^nt

Where

A = total amount in the account at the end of t years

r represents the interest rate.

n represents the periodic interval at which it was compounded.

P represents the principal or initial amount deposited

From the information given,

P = 63000

r = 2.55% = 2.55/100 = 0.0255

n = 12 because it was compounded 12 times in a year.

Therefore, function, C(t), that represents the amount of money in the account t years after the account is opened is

C(t) = 63000(1 + 0.0255/12)^12t

C(t) = 63000(1.002125)^12t

For C(t) = 100000,

100000 = 63000(1.002125)^12t

100000/63000 = (1.002125)^12t

1.587 = 1.002125)^12t

Taking log of both sides

Log 1.587 = log 1.002125)^12t

Log 1.587 = 12tlog 1.002125)^

0.2005 = 12t × 0.00092

0.2005 = t × 0.01104

t = 0.2005/0.01104

t = 18.16 years

Can anyone help me on this?
Ugo [173]

Answer:

x = 1, -5

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x^2 +4x - 5

Factor the expression. Factoring is the process of writing out an expression by using other expressions such that when the other expression are multiplied together, the resulting expression is the initial expression.

f(x)=x^2+4x-5

f(x)=(x+5)(x-1)

Now set the expression equal to zero to find the roots (also known are zeros) of the expression. Use the zero product property to find the answers, the zero product property states that any number times zero is zero.

0=(x+5)(x-1)\\

x=-5,x=1
