Answer:

$635.62

Step-by-step explanation:

You are going to want to use the continuous compound interest formula, which is shown below.

$A = Pe^{rt}$

A = total

P = principal amount

r = interest rate (decimal)

t = time (years)

First change 8% to its decimal form:

8% -> $\frac{8}{100}$ -> 0.08

Next, plug in the values into the equation:

$A=500e^{0.08(3)}$

$A=635.62$

Your answer is $635.62

FIFTY POINTS - It took 4 hours for a biker to travel from one city to another going at a certain speed. On the return trip, the

Answer:

Either 200 km or 160 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = speed × time

Let x = the biker's normal speed

Then

(1) d = 4x

For the return trip,

Time = distance/speed

(2) 4.5 = 100/x + (d -100)/(x - 10)

4.5x = 100/x + (4x -100)/(x - 10) Substituted (1) into (2)

4.5x = 100 + x(4x -100)/(x - 10) Multiplied each side by x

4.5x(x - 10) = 100(x - 10) + x(4x -100) Multiplied each side by (x - 10)

4.5x² - 45x = 100x - 1000 + 4x² -100x Removed parentheses

4.5x² - 45x = -1000 + 4x² Cancelled terms

0.5x² - 45x = -1000 Subtracted 4x² from each side

0.5x² - 45x +1000 = 0 Added 1000 to each side

x² - 90x +2000 = 0 Multiplied each side by 2

(x - 50)(x - 40) = 0 Factored the quadratic

x - 50 = 0 x - 40 = 0 Applied zero product theorem

x = 50 x = 40

Substitute in (1)

d = 4 × 50 = 200 km; d = 4 × 40 = 160 km

The distance between the two cities is either 200 km or 160 km.

Check:

x = 50 x = 40

4.5 = 100/50 + (200 - 100)/(50 - 10) 4.5 = 100/40 + (160 - 100)/(40 - 10)

4.5 = 2 + 100/40 4.5 = 2.5 + 60 /30

4.5 = 2 + 2.5 4.5 = 2.5 + 2

4.5 = 4.5 4.5 = 4.5

3. One method you can use to determine whether a triangle is a right triangle, given three side lengths, is to apply the Convers

babymother [125]

Sin < C = 63/65 so m < C = 75.75 degrees

and tan B = 16/63 so m <B = 14.25 degrees

m < C + m<B = 75.75 + 14.25 = 90 degrees

Therefore m < A = 180-90 = 90

therefore the triangle is right-angled.
