Answer:
<u>Equation</u>: 
<u>The balance after 5 years is: $1742.43</u>
<u></u>
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a compound growth problem . THe formula is:

Where
F is future amount
P is present amount
r is rate of interest, annually
n is the number of compounding per year
t is the time in years
Given:
P = 1500
r = 0.03
n = 12 (compounded monthly means 12 times a year)
The compound interest formula modelled by the variables is:

Now, we want balance after 5 years, so t = 5, substituting, we get:

<u>The balance after 5 years is: $1742.43</u>
Answer:
roots : 4, -4, i, -i
Step-by-step explanation:
This gets a bit tricky.
We have to substitude x^2 as u in this problem.
Now to rewrite x^4 − 15x^2 − 16 = 0 with u, we get
u^2 - 15u - 16 = 0
( u - 16) (u + 1)
U = 16
U = -1
<em>This is not the end of the problem. </em>
Now we have to substitute x^2 back to u.
x^2 = 16 --> we get the roots 4 and -4
x^2 = -1 --> we get the roots i and -i
tadah!
Answer:
<em>$ 33.6 to fill this tank, provided a community cost of $2.8 per gallon</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let us first find the volume of the gas the tank, by the general multiplication of Base * height ⇒ 11 inches * 1.25 feet * 1.75 feet. For the simplicity, we should convert feet ⇒ inches, as such: 1.25 feet = 1.25 * 12 inches = 15 inches, 1.75 feet = 1.75 * 12 inches = 21 inches. Now we have a common unit, let us find the volume ⇒ 11 in. * 15 in. * 21 in. = 3465 inches^3.
2. Let us say that the the average price of gas in my community is $2.8 per gallon. We would first have to convert inches ⇒ gallons provided 1 gallon = 231 inches: 3465/231 = 15 gallons.
4. Now simply multiply this price of 2.8 dollars per gallon by the number of gallons to receive the cost if the tank was full: 2.8 * 15 = <em>$ 42 if this tank was full provided a community cost of $ 2.8 per gallon</em>
5. Now this tank is 20% full, so we must calculate the cost to fill the other 80% up. That would be 80/100 * 42 = 4/5 * 42 = 168/5 = <em>$ 33.6 to fill this tank, provided a community cost of $2.8 per gallon</em>
Answer:
I'd say A is the correct answer. There's a chance I'm wrong but I don't think so
