55 / 100 = 0.55 which is 1%

0.55 x 40 = 22 which is 40%

55 - 22 = 33

The answer is $33

How much money has to be invested at 2.3% interest compounded continuously to have $41,000 after 17 years?

Llana [10]

For this, we have to calculate how much money has to be invested at 2.3% interest compounded continuously to achieve $41,000 after 17 years

Formula: A= P * ( 1+r)^t
A= $41,000
r=0.023
t= 17
<span>41,000= P * (1+0.023)^17
</span>41,000= P * (1.023)^17
41,000= P * 1.4719
P= 41,000 : 1.4719
P= $27,731.59
Therefore, the answer is C. $27,731.59
I checked by doing the opposite, and I got $41,000.01, which is the closest to the question<span>

Answer:

a) $n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.02}{1.96})^2}=2401$

And rounded up we have that n=2401

b) $n=\frac{0.07(1-0.07)}{(\frac{0.02}{1.96})^2}=625.22$

And rounded up we have that n=626

And we see that if we have previous info about p the sample size varies a lot.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

Solution to the problem

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 95% of confidence, our significance level would be given by $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ . And the critical value would be given by:

$z_{\alpha/2}=-1.96, z_{1-\alpha/2}=1.96$

Part a

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}$ (a)

And on this case we have that $ME =\pm 0.02$ and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

$n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}$ (b)

Since we don't have prior information about the population proportion we can use ase estimator $\hat p =0.5$ . And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:

$n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.02}{1.96})^2}=2401$

And rounded up we have that n=2401

Part b

For thi case the estimator for p is $\hat p =0.07$

$n=\frac{0.07(1-0.07)}{(\frac{0.02}{1.96})^2}=625.22$

And rounded up we have that n=626

And we see that if we have previous info about p the sample size varies a lot.

Find the 30th term of the following sequence. 1, 7, 13, 19, ... 174 175 180 181.

Tems11 [23]

Checking if the sequence is an arithmetic sequence 7 - 1 = 6 13 – 7 = 6 Therefore the sequence is arithmetic, with a_0 = 1 and d = 6 a_n = a_0 + (n-1)d a_30 = 1 + (29)(6) = 175 Therefore the 30th term is 175.

1) Inverse function: $f^{-1}(x)=g(x)=\frac{x+4}{3}$

2) $f(1) = -1, g(-1) = 1$

3) $f(g(x))=g(f(x))=x$

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

In this first method, we want to find the inverse function of $f(x)$ .

The original function is:

$f(x) = 3x-4$

We rewrite it as

$y=3x-4$

We swap the name of the variables:

$x=3y-4$

Adding +4 on both sides:

$x+4=3y-4+4\\x+4=3y$

And dividing by 3 on both sides:

$y=\frac{x+4}{3}$

which is identical to $g(x)$ :

$g(x)=\frac{x+4}{3}$

2)

In this second method, we want to use the output of one function as input to the other function, and show that the output value is equal to the imput value.

We start using the function

$f(x)=3x-4$

We choose $x=1$ . We find:

$f(1)=3(1)-4=3-4=-1$

Now we use this output value as input in the function

$g(x)=\frac{x+4}{3}$

Substituting $x=-1$ ,

$g(-1)=\frac{-1+4}{3}=\frac{3}{3}=1$

So, the final output value (1) is equal to the input value (1).

3)

Here we want to verify that the two are inverse functions by showing that

$f(g(x))=x$

We have

$f(x)=3x-4\\g(x)=\frac{x+4}{3}$

Substituting g(x) into f(x),

$f(g(x))=3g(x)-4 = 3(\frac{x+4}{3})-4=(x+4)-4=x$

Viceversa, we want to show that

$g(f(x))=x$

Substituting g(x) into f(x), we get

$g(f(x))=\frac{f(x)+4}{3}=\frac{(3x-4)+4}{3}=\frac{3x-4+4}{3}=\frac{3x}{3}=x$

So, the two functions are one the inverse of the other.
