You deposit $5000 in an account earning 7.5% simple interest . How long will it take for the balance of the account to be $6500

1 answer:

7 0

Since this is a problem of simple interest, then the interest earned will be based always on the principal amount which is 5000. So assuming that, lets also assume that the duration to get interest will be in years since that is the most commonly used duration anyway. So first, let's multiply 5000 with 0.075 to get the interest for the first year. So we will have 375. This means that we will be getting 375 interest every year. We can do trial an error method to get the number of years that will yield us to 6500. Through that, I was able to get 4 years. So 4 times 375 equals 1500 plus the original balance of 5000. It will take 4 years before your balance reaches 6500

The rule is Paranthesis First

|7-(24÷|3-6|)|

|7-(24÷|-3|)|

Now we have to get the -3 outside the 2 Lines but the lines are saying that if the number inside is negative when you get it outside it has to be positive.

|7-(24÷3)|-

|7-(8)|

|7-8|

A diving board is 10 feet above the surface of the water. At time t = 0, the board propels Chris upward at a rate of 12 feet per

Art [367]

Answer:

Chris will take 0.75 seconds to return to his starting height of 10 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of Chris be represented by $h(t) = -16\cdot t^{2}+12\cdot t +10$ , where $h(t)$ is the height in feet and $t$ , the time in seconds. First, we equalize the formula to a height of 10 feet and simplify the resulting expression, that is:

$-16\cdot t^{2}+12\cdot t +10 = 10$

$-16\cdot t^{2}+12\cdot t = 0$

Then, we simplify the expression by algebraic means:

$-16\cdot t\cdot \left(t-\frac{3}{4} \right) = 0$

Roots of the polynomial are, respectively:

$t = 0\,s\,\lor \,t = 0.75\,s$

First root represents the initial height of Chris, whereas the second one represents the instant when Christ returns to the same height above the surface of the water. Hence, Chris will take 0.75 seconds to return to his starting height of 10 feet.
