Answer: $6280

Step-by-step explanation:

7-month: $6000

rate: 8% annual

First find how much is 7 months out of 12 months (because a year has 12 months and this is annual interest)

Take the amount of months that you're trying to calculate and divide by 12.

$\frac{7}{12}=0.583$

Also convert 8% to decimals. You can do this by dividing by 100.

$\frac{8}{100}=0.08$

To calculate the interest, simply multiply the amount (6000) times the percentage (0.08) times the amount of months in decimal form (0.583).

(6000)(0.08)(0.583)

$279.84 or ≅ $280.00

Having found the interest, simply add it to the original amount (6000)

6000+280= $6280

Can someone help me with this?

Answer:

Let 'a' be the first term, 'r' be the common ratio and 'n' be the number of terms

Series = 2+6+18.......= 2+2•3¹+ 2•3².......= 728

Now,

$Sum = \frac{a( {r}^{n} - 1) }{(r - 1)} \\$

So,

$\frac{a( {r}^{n} - 1)}{(r - 1)} = 728 \\ \frac{2( {3}^{n} - 1) }{(3 - 1)} = 728 \\ \frac{2( {3}^{n} - 1) }{2} = 728 \\ {3}^{n} - 1 = 728 \\ {3}^{n}=728+1\\ {3}^{n} = 729 \\ {3}^{n} = {3}^{6} \\ \boxed{ n = 6}$

Therefore, number of terms is 6

6 is the right answer.

Suppose a flare is shot from the top of a 120 foot building at a speed of 160 feet per second. The equation h = ?16t + 160t + 12

insens350 [35]

Answer:

The time taken for the flare to hit the ground is approximately 10.7 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Suppose a flare is shot from the top of a 120 foot building at a speed of 160 feet per second. The equation $h =- 16t^2+ 160t + 120$ models the h height at t seconds of the flare.
