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.

Hello,

L=\sqrt{x^2+y^2} \\\\\dfrac{dx}{dt}=-4\\\\\dfrac{dy}{dt}=3\\\\x=4, y=3\\\\\dfrac{\partial L} {\partial x} =\dfrac{x}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}} \\\\\dfrac{\partial L} {\partial y} =\dfrac{y}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}} \\\\\dfrac{dL}{dt} =\dfrac{\partial L} {\partial x}*\dfrac{dx}{dt}+\dfrac{\partial L} {\partial y}*\dfrac{dy}{dt}\\\\=-4*\frac{-4}{\sqrt{4^2+3^2}} +3*\frac{3}{\sqrt{4^2+3^2}}\\\\=\dfrac{16}{5} +\dfrac{9}{5} \\\\=5\\
