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.

A 4​-ft vertical post casts a 12​-in shadow at the same time a nearby cell phone tower casts a 118​-ft shadow. How tall is the c
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

height of vertical post = 6ft

its shadow = 20 in

For all shadows cast at the same time, the ratio of the height of a shadow-casting structure to the length of its shadow is the same. (Assuming, of course, that it's the sun casting the shadows.)

So the ratio is  

4 feet / 12 inches = 4 feet / 1 foot = 4/1 = 4,

and if h is the height of the cell tower,

h/122 feet = 4

h = 4 x 122 feet = 488 feet. <---------------- Final answer

Hope I helped,

QUESTION 16<br> What is the absolute value of -72?
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

The absolute value of -72 is 72.

Absolute value is essentially just making the number given positive.

If the given number is already positive then the absolute value is the same as the original number

Hope this helped!
