Answer:

  $0.025x² . . . where x is a number of percentage points

Step-by-step explanation:

The multiplier for semi-annual compounding will be ...

  (1 + x/2)² = 1 + x + x²/4

The multiplier for annual compounding will be ...

  1 + x

The multiplier for semiannual compounding is greater by ...

  (1 + x + x²/4) - (1 + x) = x²/4

Maria's interest will be greater by $1000×(x²/4) = $250x², where x is a decimal fraction.

If x is a percent value, as in x = 6 when x percent = 6%, then the difference amount is ...

  $250·(x/100)² = $0.025x² . . . where x is a number of percentage points

_____

<u>Example</u>:

For x percent = 6%, the difference in interest earned on $1000 for one year is $0.025×6² = $0.90.

Which is the best prove why.5 gallon bucket of paint for $97.45 of a 1 gallon bucket of paint for 21.95.?
Greeley [361]
97.45 / 5 = 19.49 per gallon

and then there is 21.95 per gallon

the better deal would be the 5 gallon bucket for 97.45 because if u buy it this way, it is cheaper by the gallon

Solve for x ....... thanks !
Len [333]
If we can match teh bases we can solve
because if x=x and xᵃ=xᵇ, we can conclude that a=b

16=2⁴
32=2⁵
rememeber that (x^m)^n=x^{mn}

16^{3x+2}=32^{-2x-7}
(2^4)^{3x+2}=(2^5)^{-2x-7}
2^{4(3x+2)}=2^{5(-2x-7)}
2=2 so we conclude that 4(3x+2)=5(-2x-7)

4(3x+2)=5(-2x-7)
expand/distribute
12x+8=-10x-35
add 10x both sides
22x+8=-35
minus 8 both sides
22x=-43
divide both sides by 22
x=-43/22
