Use the compound interest formulas A = P 1 + r n nt and A = Pe rt to solve. 2) Suppose that you have $8000 to invest. Which inve

stment yields the greater return over 6 years: 6.25% compounded continuously or 6.3% compounded semiannually? 2) A) $8000 invested at 6.3% compounded semiannually over 6 years yields the greater return. B) $8000 invested at 6.25% compounded continuously over 6 years yields the greater return. C) Both investment plans yield the same return.

Answer: A

Compound interest simply defined as the interest added at regular interval. Compound interested can be calculated using

Compound interest = P (1+) ^nt and Pe ^rt

P = Initial balance

r = Annual interest rate

n = Number of times the interest is compounded per year

t =Number of year money is invested

Using

Compound interest = P (1+ ) ^nt

Continuous

P= $ 8000

t = 6

r = 6.25%

=

= 0.0625

n = 1

Compound interest = 8000 (1+) ^1×6

= 8000 (1 + 0.0625) ^6

= 8000 (1.0625) ^ 6

= 8000× 1.4387

= $11,509.6

Semi- annually

P= $ 8000

t = 6

r = 6.3%

=

= 0.063

n = 2

Compound interest = 8000 (1+) ^2×6

= 8000 (1 + 0.063) ^12

= 8000 (1.063) ^12

= 8000× 1.4509

= $11,607.0

Investing $ 8000 semi-annually at 6.3% for 6 years yields greater return

Therefore the answer is (A)

Passes through the points (−4, 2) and (12, 6)?
svlad2 [7]

<u>I'll assume you need to find the equation of the line that passes through those points.</u>

Answer:

\displaystyle y-2=\frac{1}{4}(x+4)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equation of a Line:</u>

The equation of a line passing through points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) can be found as follows:

\displaystyle y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)

The given points are (-4,2) and (12,6), thus:

\displaystyle y-2=\frac{6-2}{12+4}(x+4)

Operating:

\displaystyle y-2=\frac{4}{16}(x+4)

Simplifying, the equation in point-slope form is:

\mathbf{\displaystyle y-2=\frac{1}{4}(x+4)}

If 20 mangoes cost 850 naira , what is the cost of 15 Mangoes​
Marianna [84]
In this math problem, we will be using rate of change.
850 naira’s / 20 mangoes
= 42.5 nairas for one mango.
Next, to find the cost of 15 mangoes, we will take the cost of our one mango and simply multiply it by 15.
= 42.5 nairas * 15
= 637.50 nairas
So, in conclusion, the cost of 15 mangoes is 637.50 naira.

Find the first five terms of the sequence given by a 1 = 2, a n = 3 a n -1 - 1.
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

2, 5, 14, 41, 122

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the recursive rule with a₁ = 2

a₂ = 3a₁ - 1 = 3(2) - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5

a₃ = 3a₂ - 1 = 3(5) - 1 = 15 - 1 = 14

a₄ = 3a₃ - 1 = 3(14) - 1 = 42 - 1 = 41

a₅ = 3a₄ - 1 = 3(41) - 1 = 123 - 1 = 122

The first 5 terms are 2, 5, 14, 41, 122
