1. A retirement account is opened with an initial deposit of $8,500 and earns 8.12% interest compounded monthly. What will the a

ccount be worth in 20 years? What if the deposit were compounded monthly with simple interest? Could you see the situation in a graph? From what point one is better than the other?

Answer:

Part A) \$42,888.48  

Part B) A=\$22,304

Part C) The graph in the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A) What will the account be worth in 20 years?

we know that    

The compound interest formula is equal to  

A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}  

where  

A is the Final Investment Value  

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested  

r is the rate of interest  in decimal

t is Number of Time Periods  

n is the number of times interest is compounded per year

in this problem we have  

t=20\ years\\ P=\$8,500\\ r=0.0812\\n=12  

substitute in the formula above  

A=8,500(1+\frac{0.0812}{12})^{12*20}  

A=8,500(1.0068)^{240}  

A=\$42,888.48  

Part B) What if the deposit were compounded monthly with simple interest?  

we know that

The simple interest formula is equal to

A=P(1+rt)

where

A is the Final Investment Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest  

t is Number of Time Periods

in this problem we have

t=20\ years\\ P=\$8,500\\r=0.0812

substitute in the formula above

A=8,500(1+0.0812*20)

A=\$22,304

Part C) Could you see the situation in a graph? From what point one is better than the other?

Convert the equations in function notation

A(t)=8,500(1.0068)^{12t} ------> equation A

A(t)=8,500(1+0.0812t)  -----> equation B

using a graphing tool  

see the attached figure  

Observing the graph, from the second year approximately the monthly compound interest is better than the simple interest.

An element with mass 590 grams decays by 19. 5% per minute. How much of the element is remaining after 15 minutes, to the neares
solmaris [256]

Answer:

Step 1

Formulate a recursive sequence modeling the number of grams after n  minutes.

we have that

100%-17.1%-------------- > 82.9%------------> 0.829

a(n) = 780*[0.829^n]

for n=19 minutes

a(19)=780*[0.829^(19)]=22.1121 g---------------> 22.1 g

the answer is 22.1 g

1. The function of this graph is f(x) = 0.5x + -2 
Plug (-2) into the x variables so it looks like: 
f(-2) = 0.5 (-2) + -2
Then solve. 
Answer: f(-2) = -3 
**I'm not as sure about this one, so I might be wrong
