Use a formula to calculate the amount of money you would have if you invest $3000 at a rate of 5% compounded quarterly, for 3 ye

ars. (Remember y=a(1+r)^n) )
How would this value change if the rate was 1.5% compounded monthly for the same period?

Answer:

At 5% compounded quarterly, the amount of $3,000 would be $3,482.

At 1.5% compounded monthly, the amount of $3,000 would be $3,138.

Step-by-step explanation:

Option 1:

Rate = r = 5%

Times = b = 4

y = a (1 + r)ⁿ

For compounded quarterly the rate of interest and Number of years will be written as follows:

y = a [1 + (r / b)]ⁿᵇ

y = $3,000 [1 + (0.05 / 4]³ ˣ ⁴

y = $3,000 [1 + 0.0125]¹²

y = $3,000 [1.0125]¹²

y = $3,000 x 1.160755

y = $3,482

Option 2:

Rate = r = 1.5%

Times = b = 12

y = a (1 + r)ⁿ

For compounded monthly the rate of interest and Number of years will be written as follows:

y = a [1 + (r / b)]ⁿᵇ

y = $3,000 [1 + (0.015 / 12]³ ˣ ¹²

y = $3,000 [1 + 0.00125]³⁶

y = $3,000 [1.00125]³⁶

y = $3,000 x 1.045998

y = $3,138

Hence As compared to Option 1, Option 2 has low rate of return by $344. Therefore Option 1 should be selected.

Answer:

\therefore 2\dfrac{1}{3}  \div \left ( -3\dfrac{2}{3} \right ) = -\dfrac{7}{11}

Step-by-step explanation:

The question relates to dividing a fraction by proper and another fraction

The given expression is presented as follows;

2\dfrac{1}{3}  \div \left ( -3\dfrac{2}{3} \right )

We rearrange the fractions as improper  fractions for easier division as follows;

2\dfrac{1}{3}  = \dfrac{7}{3}

-3\dfrac{2}{3} = -\dfrac{11}{3}

Therefore, we have;

2\dfrac{1}{3}  \div \left ( -3\dfrac{2}{3} \right ) = \dfrac{7}{3} \div \left (-\dfrac{11}{3} \right ) = \dfrac{7}{3} \times \left (\dfrac{1}{-\dfrac{11}{3} } \right ) = \dfrac{7}{3} \div \left (-\dfrac{3}{11} \right ) =-\dfrac{7}{11}

\therefore 2\dfrac{1}{3}  \div \left ( -3\dfrac{2}{3} \right ) = -\dfrac{7}{11}

Use the net to find the surface area of the rectangular prism.
Komok [63]

Answer:

220

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area is  given by

SA = 2 ( lw+wh+lh)  where  l is length h is height and w is width

SA = 2(3*4 + 3*14+ 4*14)

     = 2(12+42+56)

    = 2(110)

    = 220
