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.

You are purchasing books summer reading for $4.50 each. Part A: Your total cost, C, depends on,The input is,and the output is,Pa
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Part A) see the explanation

Part B) C(12)=\$54

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A)

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and C, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form k=\frac{C}{x} or C=kx

Let

C ---> is the total cost (represent the output or dependent variable)

x ----> is the number of books (represent the input or independent variable)

In this problem

we have a proportional relationship between the variables x and C

Part B)  we know that

The linear equation is given by

C=kx

The constant of proportionality k is the same that the slope or unit rate of the linear equation

In this problem the constant k is given

k=\$4.50\ per\ book

so

C=4.50x

For x=12 books

substitute in the equation and solve for C

C=4.50(12)=\$54

In function notation

C(12)=\$54

Find the equation of the line passing through (3,4), (-1,-2).
Kryger [21]

Answer:

(y-(-2))/(x-(-1)= (-2-4)/(-1-3)

(y+2)/(x+1)= (-6)/(-4)

(y+2)/(x+1)= (3/2)

Cross multiplying

2y+4= 3x+3

3x-2y-1=0

The sum of 4 times the number x and 26 is 130.
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

A. Correct choice is C

B. Correct choice is B

Step-by-step explanation:

4 times the number x is 4x.

The sum of 4 times the number x and 26 is 4x+26.

The sum of 4 times the number x and 26 is 130, then

4x+26=130.

Correct option is option C.

Solve this equation:

4x=130-26,

4x=104,

x=26.

Enter the range of values for x
Pavlova-9 [17]

<em>Greetings from Brasil...</em>

See the attached figure. The smaller the θ angle, the smaller the AB side will be. If the angle θ = 90º, then AB = 25. As θ < 90, then AB < 25

5X - 10 < 25

5X < 25 + 10

X < 35/5

X < 7

The AB side can be neither zero nor negative. So

5X - 10 > 0

5X > 10

X > 10/5

X > 2

<h3>2 < X < 7</h3>
