Answer:

i) $500 at 5% simple interest for two years.

   Interest = 550 - 500 = $50

ii) $500 at 3% compounded monthly for 2 years.

   Interest = 530.88 - 500 = $30.88

I would take the first option i)$500 at 5% simple interest for two years.

Step-by-step explanation:

i) $500 at 5% simple interest for two years.

  Initial amount, P = $ 500

  Rate of interest, r = 0.05

  Time in years, t = 2

 Therefore Final amount A = P(1 + rt) = 500(1 + (0.05  2) ) = $550

  Therefore Interest = 550 - 500 = $50

ii) $500 at 3% compounded monthly for 2 years

   Initial or Principal Amount, P  = $500

   Rate of interest, r =0.03

   number of conversions, m = 12

    Time in years, t = 3

 Therefore final amount,   = $530.88

Therefore Interest = 530.88 - 500 = $30.88

I would take the first option i) $500 at 5% simple interest for two years.

Determine the values of \theta if sec\;\theta=-\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}.
Masja [62]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we have:

\sec(\theta)=-2/\sqrt{3}

Recall that secant is simply the reciprocal of cosine. So we can:

\cos(\theta)=(\sec(\theta))^{-1}=(-2/\sqrt{3})^{-1}\\\cos(\theta)=-\sqrt{3}/2

Now, recall the unit circle. Since cosine is negative, it must be in Quadrants II and/or III. The numerator is the square root of 3. The denominator is 2. The whole thing is negative. Therefore, this means that 150 or 5π/6 is a candidate. Therefore, due to reference angles, 180+30=210 or 7π/6 is also a candidate.

Therefore, the possible values for theta is

5π/6 +2nπ

and

7π/6 + 2nπ

Lara has $1,425 in her bank account. Write and solve an equation to show how much money she started with if that amount reflects
bixtya [17]
1,425 = 114%
so
1,425 = 114% • x


1,425 × 100 ÷ 114 = x
x = 1250

hope this helps!
