Answer:

The money was left untouched for 2 years and 6 months or just 2.5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the time taken for an amount deposited to earn a certain amount of interest.

Mathematically, simple interest can be calculated using the formula;

I = PRT/100

where I is the interest accrued which is 3696.88 - 3,500 = 196.88

P is the principal which is the amount deposited = 3,500 according to the question

R is the rate which is 2.25% according to the question

T is the time which we are to find

we can rearrange the formula making T the subject and we obtain the following;

T = 100I/PR

substituting the values listed above we have;

T = (100 * 196.88)/(3500 * 2.25)

T = 19688/7875

T = 2.5 years or 2 years 6 months

The sum of a triangle's sides is
Wewaii [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

Therefore the third side should be less than 12+15 = 27cm

And also the third side cannot be less than the difference of the two sides

Therefore, the third has to be more than 15-12 = 3cm

Thus, the third side could be the length more than 3cm and less than 27cm.

Find the volume V of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by the given curves about the specified line. y = x, y =
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

381.18 cubic units

Step-by-step explanation:

Graph the region:

desmos.com/calculator/iwvreqjz2m

The region is a trapezoid.  When we rotate it about x = 1, we get a hollow cylinder shape.  We can either use washer method or shell method to find the volume.

If we find the volume using washer method, we'll have to use two integrals, one for the triangular part of the trapezoid and one for rectangular part.  If we use shell method, we only need one integral.  So let's use shell method.

Cut a thin, vertical slice of the region.  The width of this slice is dx.  The height of the slice is y₂ − y₁ = x − 0 = x.  The radius of the shell is x − 1.

The volume of the shell is:

dV = 2π (x − 1) (x) dx

dV = 2π (x² − x) dx

The total volume is the sum of all the shells from x=5 to x=7.

V = ∫ dV

V = ∫₅⁷ 2π (x² − x) dx

V = 2π ∫₅⁷ (x² − x) dx

V = 2π (⅓ x³ − ½ x² + C) |₅⁷

V = 2π [(⅓ 7³ − ½ 7² + C) − (⅓ 5³ − ½ 5² + C)]

V = 2π [⅓ 7³ − ½ 7² − ⅓ 5³ + ½ 5²]

V = 2π [⅓ (7³ − 5³) + ½ (5² − 7²)]

V = 2π [⅓ (218) + ½ (-24)]

V = 2π (72⅔ − 12)

V = 121⅓ π

V ≈ 381.18

The volume is approximately 381.18 cubic units.
