The perimeter of RSTU can be calculated alone without the help of MNPQ. It would be just 2(4) + 2(3) = 14 units. However, it would be much sensible if you want to find the parameter of the bigger rectangle. Since they are similar, you could use ratio and proportion.

(length/width)∨MNPQ = (length/width)∨RSTU
(x/9) = (3/4)
x = 6.75 units

Thus the perimeter of MNPQ is 2(6.75) + 2(9) = 31.5 units

The time value of money calculation can be performed using formula equations or online calculators.

The correct responses are;

1) Option 3

2) Option 2

3) The difference in principal is approximately $8,000

The difference in interest earned is approximately $2,977.87

4) It is better to invest more money at the beginning of the 30 years

Reasons:

Option 1: Present value = 0

Amount invested per month, A = $25/month

The Annual Percentage Rate, APR, r = 3.25%

Number of years = 30

The future value of an annuity is given by the formula;

$\displaystyle FV_{A} = \mathbf{A \cdot \left (\frac{ \left(1 + \frac{r}{m} \right)^{m\cdot t} - 1}{\frac{r}{m} } \right)}$

In option 1, m = 12 periods per year

Therefore;

$\displaystyle FV_{A} = 25 \times \left (\frac{ \left(1 + \frac{0.0325}{12} \right)^{12 \times 30} - 1}{\frac{0.0325}{12} } \right) \approx \mathbf{15,209.3}$

Contribution = $25 × 12 × 30 = $9,000

Total interest earned = $15,209.3 - $9,000 = $6,209.3

Final balance = $15,209.3

Option 2: Present value = 0

Amount, A = $75/quarter

m = 4 periods per year

The Annual Percentage Rate, APR = 4.00%

Therefore;

The effective interest rate is therefore;

$\displaystyle r_{eff} = \left(1 + \frac{0.04}{4} \right)^4 - 1 \approx \mathbf{0.04060401}$

$\displaystyle FV_{A} = 75 \times \left (\frac{ \left(1 + \frac{0.04060401}{4} \right)^{4 \times 30} - 1}{\frac{0.04060401}{4} } \right) \approx 17,437.7$

Using an online calculator, FV = $17,467.04

Contribution = $75 × 4 × 30 = $9,000

Total interest earned = $17,467.04 - $9,000 = $8,467.04

Final balance = $17,467.04

Option 3: Present value = $1,000

APR = 6.25%

m = 12 period per year

Number of years, t = 30 years

Therefore;

$\displaystyle FV = \left (1 + \frac{0.0625}{12} \right)^{12 \times 30} \approx \mathbf{6,489.17}$

Contribution = $1,000

Total interest earned = $6,489.17 - $1,000 = $5,489.17

Final balance = $6,489.17

The table of values is therefore;

$\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|}Option \# &Contribution &Total Interest Earned&Final Balance\\1&\$9,000&\$6,209.3 & \$15,209.3\\2&\$9,000&\$8,467.04 &\$17,467.04\\3&\$1,000&\$5,489.17&\$6,489.17\end{array}\right]$

1) The option that has the least amount invested are option 3

Option 3 investment plan is a present value of $1,000, invested for 30 years at 6.25% APR compounded monthly.

2) Option 2 yielded the highest amount at the end of 30 years, given that the APR is higher than the APR for option 1, although the amount invested over the period are the same.

The basis of option 2 investment plan is $75 invested quarterly at 4.00% APR compounded monthly for 30 years.

3) The difference in the principal invested for the highest and lowest final balance is $9,000 - $1,000 = $8,000

The difference in the interest earned is; $8,467.04 - $5,489.17 = $2,977.87

4) In option 1 the present value is zero, therefore zero amount was invested at the beginning.

The interest to investment ration is 6,209.3:9,000 ≈ 0.7:1

In option 3, all the money was invested at the beginning.

The interest to investment ratio of option 3 is; 5,489.17:1,000 ≈ 5.5:1

Given that the interest to investment ratio, which is the return on investment is larger when more money is saved at the beginning as in option 3, it is better to invest more money at the beginning.

Solve for equation √-5p=√24-p

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

25,219,829 solved | 850 online

p2-5p-24=0

Two solutions were found :

p = 8

p = -3

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "p2" was replaced by "p^2".

Step by step solution :

Step 1 :

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

1.1 Factoring p2-5p-24

The first term is, p2 its coefficient is 1 .

The middle term is, -5p its coefficient is -5 .

The last term, "the constant", is -24

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • -24 = -24

Step-2 : Find two factors of -24 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -5 .

-24 + 1 = -23

-12 + 2 = -10

-8 + 3 = -5 That's it

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -8 and 3

p2 - 8p + 3p - 24

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :

p • (p-8)

Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :

3 • (p-8)

Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :

(p+3) • (p-8)

Which is the desired factorization

Equation at the end of step 1 :

(p + 3) • (p - 8) = 0

Step 2 :

Theory - Roots of a product :

2.1 A product of several terms equals zero.

When a product of two or more terms equals zero, then at least one of the terms must be zero.

We shall now solve each term = 0 separately

In other words, we are going to solve as many equations as there are terms in the product

Any solution of term = 0 solves product = 0 as well.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

2.2 Solve : p+3 = 0

Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation :

p = -3

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

2.3 Solve : p-8 = 0

Add 8 to both sides of the equation :

p = 8
