To calculate amount accrued after a given period of time we use the compound interest formula: A= P(1+r/100)∧n where A i the amount, P is the principal amount, r is the rate of interest and n is the interest period.
In the first part; A= $ 675.54, r= 1.25% (compounded semi-annually) and n =22 ( 11 years ),  hence, 675.54 = P( 1.0125)∧22
   = 675.54= 1.314P
 P= $ 514.109 , therefore the principal amount was $ 514 (to nearest dollar)
Part 2
principal amount (p)= $ 541, rate (r) = 1.2 % (compounded twice a year thus rate for one half will be 2.4/2) and the interest period (n)= 34 (17 years×2)
Amount= 541 (1.012)∧34
             = 541 ×1.5
             = $ 811.5
Therefore, the account balance after $ 811.5.

The given line segment has a midpoint at (−1, −2).
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

The given line segment has a midpoint at (−1, −2).

On a coordinate plane, a line goes through (negative 5, negative 3), (negative 1, negative 2), and (3, negative 1).

What is the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the perpendicular bisector of the given line segment?

y = −4x − 4

y = −4x − 6

y = One-fourthx – 4

y = One-fourthx – 6

y = Three-halvesx + 1

Determine the simple interest rate for each given principal, time, and simple interest earned.
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

31.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for simple interest is I = PRT, where I = interest earned/paid, P = principal amount deposited or borrowed, R = rate of interest as a decimal, and T = time in years.

I = PRT

5720 = (1200)(R)(15)

5720 = 18,000R

R = 0.3177777, rounded to 31.8%
