Sheldon invests $15,000 in an account earning 3% interest, compounded annually for 12 years. Seven years after Sheldon's initial

investment, Howard invests $15,000 in an account earning 6% interest, compounded annually for 5 years. Given that no additional deposits are made, compare the balances of the two accounts after the interest period ends for each account. (round to the nearest dollar)

\bf ~~~~~~ \stackrel{Sheldon}{\textit{Compound Interest Earned Amount}}
\\\\
A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}
\quad 
\begin{cases}
A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\
P=\textit{original amount deposited}\to &\$15000\\
r=rate\to 3\%\to \frac{3}{100}\to &0.03\\
n=
\begin{array}{llll}
\textit{times it compounds per year}\\
\textit{annually, thus once}
\end{array}\to &1\\
t=years\to &12
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
A=15000\left(1+\frac{0.03}{1}\right)^{1\cdot 12}\implies A=15000(1.03)^{12}\implies A\approx 21386.41

Ket [755]

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial image of the photo is 2 in by 4 in.  The mat is 4 in by 6 in.

The new image is dilated by a scale of 2.  So we double the dimensions.  The new photo is 4 in by 8 in.  The new mat is 8 in by 12 in.

7m + 2 = 6n - 5<br> Write a formula for f(m) in terms of m.
vlada-n [284]

Answer:  m = 6/7n-1

Step-by-step explanation: to get 7m alone dirst we must subtract 2 from both sides so 2-2 = 0 and -5 - 2= -7 so 7m= 6n-7 and divide both sides by 7 to get m alone so 6n divided by 7 = 6/7n and -7 divided by 7 equals -1 so we're left with m= 6/7n-1

Can you help me and tell me how you got it
myrzilka [38]
If she can ride her bike 3 miles in 24 minutes how far can she ride her bike in 72minutes. So, if we find out how many times 24 goes into 72 (by dividing it) then times the answer by 3 because that’s how many miles she can do in 24 min. That will give you the answer e.g

Sally can ride her bike 4 miles in 12 minutes so how far can she ride her bike in 24 minutes. You do:

_2_. 2x 4 = 8 so she would be able to
12) 24. Do 8 miles I. 24 minutes.
