To solve this we are going to use the compound interest formula: 
A=P(1+ \frac{r}{n} )^{nt}
where
A is the amount after t years 
P is the initial amount 
r is the interest rate in decimal form 
n is the number of times the interest is compounded per year
t is the time in years.

First, we are going to convert the interest rate to decimal form by divide the rate by 100%:
\frac{5.2}{100} =0.052
Next, we are going to find n. Since the interest is compounded quarterly, it is compounded 4 times per year, so.
n=4

1. For our problem we know that t=2 and P=2000. We also know for our previous calculations that r=0.052 and n=4. So lets replace those values in our compound interest formula to find A:
A=P(1+ \frac{r}{n} )^{nt}
A=2000(1+ \frac{0.052}{4} )^{(2)(4)
A=2000(1+ \frac{0.052}{4})^{8}
A=2217.71
We can conclude that after 2 years the customer will have $2,217.71 in his account.

2. We know for our problem that this time t=5, the initial investment remains the same, so p=2000, and we also know for our previous calculations that r=0.052 and n=4. So lets replace those values in our formula one more time:
A=P(1+ \frac{r}{n} )^{nt}
A=2000(1+ \frac{0.052}{4} )^{(4)(5)
A=2000(1+ \frac{0.052}{4} )^{20}
A=2589.52
We can conclude that after 5 years the customer will have $2,589.52 in his account.

What is the area of a semi-circle with a diameter of 6cm?
ANEK [815]

Formula for the area of a circle: A = pi * r^2

A semi-circle is half of a circle. So, we will need to divide the area of the total circle by 2 to find the area of a semi-circle.

r = d / 2

r = 6 / 2 = 3

A = pi * 9

A = 9pi

Semi-circle:

A = 9pi / 2

A = 4.5 pi cm^2 or 14.14 cm^2

Hope this helps!! :)
