Answer:

£6911 is the smallest amount Cynthia should invest to get £8000 after three years

Step-by-step explanation:

lets Assume that amount needs to invested for three years = £ x

Rate of Interest = R = 5% per year

Duration in years = n = 3 year

Amount expected after three years when compounded annually =  A = £8000

Formula for Amount of compound interest annually is a follows

A = P( 1 + R/100)^n

In our case Principal P = x , Amount A = 8000 , R = 5% and n = 3( since compounded annually). On substituting these values in above formula we get

8000 = x ( 1 + 5/100)^3

⇒8000 = x ( 105/100)^3

⇒8000 = x ( 21/20 )^3

⇒(8000 × 20 × 20 × 20)/(21×21×21) = x

⇒x = 6910.70≈6911

Hence £6911 is the smallest amount Cynthia should invest to get £8000 after three years

The expression 50 can be simplified to
puteri [66]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step in simplifying the expression of the square root of 50 involves finding factors of 50. This just means we are trying to find two whole numbers that, when multiplied, equal 50. Since 50 is an even number, 2 is going to be a factor, and so we can rewrite 50 as 2 times 25.
