Answer:

\$20,400

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The simple interest formula is equal to

A=P(1+rt)

where

A is the Final Investment Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest  

t is Number of Time Periods

step 1

Find the rate of interest

in this problem we have

t=4\ years\\ P=\$18,000\\ A=\$21,600\\r=?

substitute in the formula above and solve for r

\$21,600=\$18,000(1+4r)

1.2=(1+4r)

4r=1.2-1

r=0.2/4=0.05

The rate of interest is 5\%

step 2

Find the sum of  money that will amount to 25,500 in 5 years, at the same rate of interest

in this part we have

t=5\ years\\ P=?\\ A=\$25,500\\r=0.05

substitute in the formula above and solve for P

\$25,500=P(1+0.05*5)

P=\$25,500/(1.25)=\$20,400

Solve the equation by completing the square. Round to the nearest hundredth if necessary. x2 + 2x = 17
yawa3891 [41]
--------------------------------------------------------
Equation Given
--------------------------------------------------------
x² + 2x = 17

--------------------------------------------------------
Add the constant to make it perfect square
--------------------------------------------------------
x² + 2x + (2/2)² - ²(2/2)² = 17

--------------------------------------------------------
Evaluate the brackets
--------------------------------------------------------
x² + 2x + (1)² - ²(1)² = 17

--------------------------------------------------------
Form the perfect square
--------------------------------------------------------
(x + 1)² - 1 = 17

--------------------------------------------------------
Add 1 to both sides
--------------------------------------------------------
(x + 1)² = 17 + 1
(x + 1)² = 18

--------------------------------------------------------
Square root both sides
--------------------------------------------------------
√(x + 1)² = \pm√18

--------------------------------------------------------
Solve for x
--------------------------------------------------------
x = 4.24 - 1 or - 4.24 -1

x = 3.24 or - 5.24 (nearest hundredth)

--------------------------------------------------------
Answer: x = x = 3.24 or - 5.24

A leaking faucet drips into a bucket. The faucet drips at a constant rate. The level of water in the bucket rises
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

The per hour rate is 0.5 inches per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the rate at which the level of the water increased

Mathematically, we can get this by dividing the amount of increment by the time it took

That would be 3 inches divided by 6 hours

= 3/6 = 0.5 inches per hour
