<h3>Answer:</h3>
  • simple interest: $1080.00
  • compounded annually: $1081.60
<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

<em>Simple Interest</em>

Simple interest is computed on the principal amount only. Each year, 4% of the principal is added to the balance. So, at the end of 2 years, the balance is ...

... $1000 + 0.04×$1000 + 0.04×$1000

... = $1000×(1 + 0.04×2) = $1000×1.08

... = $1080.00

_____

<em>Comment on the computation</em>

The added interest is the rate (per year) multiplied by the number of years. Here, that is 0.04×2×(principal amount). The formula for the simple interest earned is often seen as ...

... I = Prt . . . . . where I is the amount of interest, P is the principal amount, r is the interest rate for the time period, t is the number of time periods.

The account balance (A) with interest added is ...

... A = P + I = P + Prt

... A = P(1 +rt)

Here, the time period is years, and the rate given is an annual rate.

____

<em>Compound Interest</em>

Compound interest is computed on the <em>account balance</em> at the beginning of the period, not just the <em>principal</em> amount. After the first period, the account balance includes interest earned so far. So, the interest is earning interest. That is why it is called compounded interest.

Here, the balance at the end of the first year is the principal amount plus the interest that has earned:

... $1000 + 0.04×$1000 = $1000×1.04 = $1040.00

The balance at the end of the second year when the interest is compounded is this account balance plus the interest it earns:

... $1040 + 0.04×$1040 = $1040×1.04 = $1081.60

You may notice that the intial principal, $1000, has been multiplied by the factor 1.04 twice. Using exponents, the multiplier for a period of 2 years is 1.04×1.04 = 1.04².

_____

<em>Comment on the computation</em>

The multiplier of the account balance each year is raised to a power that is the number of years. Here, the account balance at the end of 2 years is (1+0.04)² times the principal amount. A formula that is seen for this is ...

... A = P(1 +r)^t . . . . . where A is the final account balance, P is the principal amount, r is the interest rate for the time period, and t is the number of time periods.

Please help ASAP. Thanks so much.
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

B. 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of c, substitute the x and y values of the given point into x and y of the equation, then isolate c. Since that given point is (2,5), substitute 2 for x and 5 for y:

(5) = -2(2)^2+8(2)-c\\5 = -2(4)+16-c\\5 = -8 + 16 - c \\5 = 8 -c\\-3 = -c\\c = 3

Thus, c = 3.

Why does the graph of a proportional relationship must pass through the origin (0,0)
ELEN [110]

Answer:

Directly proportional relationships always pass through the origin (0,0). There are other linear relationships that do not pass through the origin.
