1 answer:

3 0

The answers are:
a) 9 and 5
b) 11 and 7
c) 14 and 8

a² - b² = (a + b)(a - b)

a) The answer is 9 and 5

45= a² - b²
45 = 49 - 4 = 7² - 2² = (7 + 2)(7 - 2) = 9 * 5

b) The answer is 11 and 7

77 = a² - b²
77 = 81 - 4 = 9² - 2² = (9 + 2)(9 - 2) = 11 * 7

c) The answer is 14 and 8

112 = a² - b²
112 = 121 - 9 = 11² - 3² = (11 + 3)(11 - 3) = 14 * 8

Express the fraction 3/4, 7/16 and 5/8 with the LCD

____ [38]

12/16, 7/16, 10/16 (not simplified, just with LCD);The LCD of the 3 fractions is 16 (from denominators) so all we have to do is multiply both the numerator by the same number that multiplies with the denominators to get 16. We leave 7/16 alone since it already has denominator of 16.

3/4 * 4 = 12/16

5/8 * 2 = 10/16

You deposit $5000 in an account earning 8% interest compounded monthly. How much will you have in the account in 15 years?

Rasek [7]

$\bf ~~~~~~ \textit{Compound Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt} \quad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill &\$5000\\ r=rate\to 8\%\to \frac{8}{100}\dotfill &0.08\\ n= \begin{array}{llll} \textit{times it compounds per year}\\ \textit{monthly, thus twelve} \end{array}\dotfill &12\\ t=years\dotfill &15 \end{cases}$

$\bf A=5000\left(1+\frac{0.08}{12}\right)^{12\cdot 15}\implies A=5000(1.00\overline{66})^{180}\implies A\approx 16534.61$
