1) Since this is a Continuously Compounded operation in a 10 yrs period, then we can write out the following equation:
2) Plugging into the equation the given data and since Otto is 20 yrs old and he plans to get $4,000 in ten years, we can write out:
3) Thus the rate Otto needs is
Note that since the 0.1386 the six here is greater than 5 then we can round up to the next thousandth, in this case: 0.139. For the 0.1386 is closer to 0.139 (0.004) than to 0.138 (0.006).
Or 13.9%
Number 1 and number 3 are the same because if you are purchasing three tires that is 75% off the tires you need and one of them you get free. the free one becomes the overall discount of 25% off. number 3 is the same, the one quarter represents 25% off of the purchase.
1/2(4y+7)
Use the distributive property. a(b+c)= ab+ac
1/2*4y= 2y
1/2*7= 3.5
2y+3.5 <---- simplified expression
I hope this helps!

Answer:
The zeroes in this equation are -5, -4, and 5
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find these, you need to factor by splitting. For this, we separate out the two halves of the equation and pull out the greatest common factor of each. Let's start with the front end.
r^3 + 4r^2
r^2(r + 4)
Now the second half.
-25r - 100
-25(r + 4)
Since what is left in the parenthesis are exactly the same, we can use that parenthesis next to one with what we pulled out.
(r^2 - 25)(r + 4)
And we can further factor the first parenthesis using the difference of two squares
(r^2 - 25)(r + 4)
(r + 5)(r - 5)(r + 4)
Now that we are fully factored, set each parenthesis equal to 0 and solve for x.
r + 5 = 0
r = -5
r - 5 = 0
r = 5
r + 4 = 0
r = -4
