Answer: b. $812.16

Step-by-step explanation:

The concept of compound interest is that interest is added back to the principal sum so that interest is gained on that already-accumulated interest during the next compounding period.

Interest can be compounded on any given frequency schedule, from continuous to daily to annually. When incorporating multiple compounds per period (monthly compounding or quarterly compounding, etc), the general formula looks like this:

$\boxed{A = P(1 +\frac{r}{n})^{n*t}}$

A = the future value of the investment/loan, including interest

P = the principal investment amount (the initial deposit or loan amount)

r = the annual interest rate (decimal)

n = number of times interest is compounded per unit "t"

t = the time the money is invested or borrowed for

Using the data provided in the question

P = $4706

r = 4/100 = 0.04

n = 4 (compounded quarterly)

t = 4 years

$A = 4706(1 +\frac{0.04}{4})^{4*4}$

A = $4706(1 + 0.04/4)¹⁶

A = $4706(1 + 0.01)¹⁶

A = $4706(1.01)¹⁶

A = $4706(1.1725787) = $5518.16

This formula gives the combined principal amount and its compound interest, so subtract the principal amount to get just the compound interest.

$5518.16 - $4706 = $812.16

A town sits at point (5,1) on a map. From the tallest building in the town, you can see objects up to 7 miles away. If each unit

Vlada [557]

Answer:

The distance between the tallest building and the statue is 5 miles, so as the statue is inside the range of 7 miles, it can be seen from the tallest building.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the problem we need to know the distance between the tallest building in the town and the statue.

This distance can be calculated with the formula of the distance between two points:

d = sqrt(dx^2 + dy^2), where dx is the difference in x-coordinate between the points and dy is the difference in y-coordinate between the points.

So, the distance between these points is:

dx = 5-2 = 3

dy = 1-5 = -4

d = sqrt(3^2 + (-4)^2) = sqrt(9+16) = 5 miles

The distance is 5 miles, so as it is inside the range of 7 miles, the statue can be seen from this point.

2.In ABC, BD is perpendicular to AC. The dimensions are shown in centimeters.

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

AC = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we have that BD is perpendicular to AC

This means that it is at 90 degrees to the base

so we have two similar right triangles

Let us use Pythagoras’ theorem to get the measure of one of the legs (AD and DC)

Let us call the leg x

We have the Pythagoras’ theorem stating that the square of the hypotenuse (the side facing the right angle; 10 here) is equal to the sum of the squares of the two other sides

10^2 = x^2 + 8^2

100 = x^2 + 64

x^2 = 100-64

x^2 = 36

x = √36

x = 6

AD = DC = 6

AC = 2 * AD

AC = 2 * 6

AC = 12

a rectangles length is 4 times bigger than its width. if the width is 3.5cm. what is the perimeter and area of the rectangle

user100 [1]

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of rectangle = 4 * 3.5cm = 14cm.

Perimeter of rectangle = 2(14 + 3.5) = 35cm.

Area of rectangle = 14 * 3.5 = 49cm².

Simplify to create an equivalent expression 2 - 4 * 5 p + 1

ahrayia [7]

2 - 4 * 5p + 1

Simplified, this equation looks like this:

4 * 5p = 20p

2 - 1 = 1

20p + 1 is the simplified form of this equation.

^2sin(x+45)=sinx + cosx

Alona [7]

Answer:

steps below

Step-by-step explanation:

√2 * sin(x+45°)

= √2 * (sinx cos45° + cosxsin45°)

= √2 * (sinx * √2/2 + cosx * √2/2 )

= (√2 * √2/2) (sinx + cosx)

= sinx + cosx
