Answer:
$0.025x² . . . where x is a number of percentage points
Step-by-step explanation:
The multiplier for semi-annual compounding will be ...
(1 + x/2)² = 1 + x + x²/4
The multiplier for annual compounding will be ...
1 + x
The multiplier for semiannual compounding is greater by ...
(1 + x + x²/4) - (1 + x) = x²/4
Maria's interest will be greater by $1000×(x²/4) = $250x², where x is a decimal fraction.
If x is a percent value, as in x = 6 when x percent = 6%, then the difference amount is ...
$250·(x/100)² = $0.025x² . . . where x is a number of percentage points
_____
<u>Example</u>:
For x percent = 6%, the difference in interest earned on $1000 for one year is $0.025×6² = $0.90.
G(-3)= 3(-3)+4
g(-3) = -5
Answer:
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
since triangles are proportional by 2:1, then:
16/2=3x-4
8=3x-4
3x=12
x=4
Answer:
Speed of the river =
km per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Speed of the boat in still water = 4 km per hour
Let the speed of the river = v km per hour
Speed of the boat upstream = (4 - v) km per hour
Time taken to cover 6 km = 
=
hours
Speed of the boat downstream = (4 + v) km per hour
Time taken to cover 12 km =
hours
Since, time taken by the boat in both the cases is same,

6(4 + v) = 12(4 - v)
24 + 6v = 48 - 12v
12v + 6v = 48 - 24
18v = 24
v = 
v =
km per hour
