Invested amount (P) = $300.

Time in years (t) = 2 years.

Balance after 2 years (A) = $329.49.

Let us assume rate of interest = r % compounds annually.

We know, formula for compound interest

A=P(1+r)^t

Plugging values in formula, we get

329.49=300(1+r)^2

\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}300

\frac{300\left(1+r\right)^2}{300}=\frac{329.49}{300}

\left(1+r\right)^2=1.0983

Taking square root on both sides, we get

1+r=\sqrt{1.0983}

\mathrm{Subtract\:}1\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}

1+r-1=\sqrt{1.0983}-1

r=\sqrt{1.0983}-1

r=1.048-1

r=0.048.

Converting it into percentage by multiplying by 100.

r=0.048 × 100

r  = 4.8 %

Therefore, the rate of interest on the account is 4.8% compounds annually.

Fill in the blanks to make the equation true. (x−9)(x+2)=x^2________ −18
Andrews [41]

Answer:

x² - 7x - 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember to follow FOIL.

First, multiply the first. (x)(x) = x²

Next, multiply the second. (x)(2) = 2x

Then, multiply the third. (-9)(x) = -9x

Finally, multiply the last. (-9)(2) = -18

Combine like terms: x² + 2x - 9x - 18

x² - 7x - 18

x² - 7x - 18 is your answer.

Find the measure of line f and g
kiruha [24]

In this case we use intersecting secant theorem  

According to this theorem, GF*GE = GH*GA

So,we plug in the values

(x-3)*(x-3+9) =(x-2)*(x-2+6)

(x-3)*(x+6) =(x-2)*(x+4)

x^2 +6x -3x -18 =x^2 +4x -2x -8

x^2 +3x -18 =x^2 +2x -8

x^2 +3x -18 -x^2 -2x +8 =0

x -10 =0

x=10

So,FG =x-3 = 10-3 =7
