Sam invests a sum of money in a retirement account with a fixed annual interest rate of 7%

Mathematics

Zolol [24]3 years ago

Answer:

The initial amount of investment was $7,822

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for compound interest, including principal sum is:

A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}, where

  • <em>A</em> is the future value of the investment/loan, including interest
  • <em>P</em> is the principal investment amount  
  • <em>r</em> is the annual interest rate (decimal)
  • <em>n</em> is the number of times that interest is compounded per unit t
  • <em>t</em> is the time the money is invested or borrowed for

Let us use this rule to solve the question

∵ Sam invests a sum of money in a retirement account with a fixed

   annual interest rate of 7% compounded quarterly

∴ <em>r </em>= 7% = \frac{7}{100} = 0.07

∴ <em>n</em> = 4 ⇒ compounded quarterly

∵ After 13 years, the balance reaches $19,280.02

∴ <em>A</em> = 19,280.02

∴ <em>t </em>= 13

Substitute these values in the rule above to find <em>P</em>

∵ 19,280.02=P(1+\frac{0.07}{4})^{4(13)}

∴ 19,280.02=P(1.0175)^{52}

→ Divide both sides by (1.0175)^{52}

∴ 7,821.99888 = <em>P</em>

→ Round it to the nearest dollar

∴ 7,822 = <em>P</em>

∴ <em>P</em> = $7,822

∴ The initial amount of investment was $7,822.

Answer:

1 whole or 12/12

Step-by-step explanation:

so you go and subtract and you ad what each one equals

                                       10-12=2

                                         9-12=3

                                         3-12=9

                                      ---------------

                                      =  1 whole OR 12/12

Mark values his drum set at $800 and ella values her guitar at $1,000. suppose that mark trades his drum set for ella's guitar.
Novosadov [1.4K]
If they made this trade, it would make sense that Mark would also have to give Ella $200. This is because the difference in value is that amount in the favor of Ella. You can see that by subtracting the two values from each other. 

$1000 - $800 = $200

Find an equation of the line perpendicular to the graph of 28x-7y=9 that passes through the point at (4,1)
kifflom [539]

If it is perpendicular to the line 14x-7y=4, then we know our line has the opposite and inverse slope of that line. Solving for y of the first line, we get y=2x-(4/7). All we care about is the coefficient of the x term, because that will give us our slope. The slope of the first line is 2, so the slope of out line is the opposite and inverse of that slope, which -(1/2).

Plugging into our slope- point formula, where y1=(-9), x1=2, and m=(-1/2), then:

y-(-9)=(-1/2)(x-2)

y+9=(-1/2)x+1

y=(-1/2)x-8
