A bank account has an initial deposit of $14,000. After 8 years, the bank account

Kamila [148]

Answer:

2.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

18000 = 15000( 1 + i)^8

Divide both sides by 15000

1.2 = (1 + i)^8

Take both sides to the 1/8 power

1.2^(1/8) = 1 + i

1.023051875220463 = 1 + i

Subtract 1 from both sides

i = 0.023051875220463

~ 2.3%

2. Suppose (220)_b and (251)_b are the squares of consecutive integers. Determine b.

Andrei [34K]

Let $x$ and $x+1$ be these consecutive integers. For some base $b$ , we can write

$(x_{10})^2=220_b=2b^2+2b$

$((x+1)_{10})^2=251_b=2b^2+5b+1$

$x^2=2b^2+2b$

then

$x^2+1=2b^2+2b+1$

Now,

$x^2+2x+1=2b^2+5b+1$

$2x+2b^2+2b+1=2b^2+5b+1$

$\implies2x=3b$

Squaring both sides gives

$4x^2=9b^2$

and so

$4(2b^2+2b)=9b^2$

$\implies8b^2+8b=9b^2$

$\implies b^2-8b=0\implies\boxed{b=8}$

(because the base has to be non-zero)
