Answer:

a) $3480

b) $4036.8

Step-by-step explanation:

The compound interest formula is given by:

A(t) = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}

Where A(t) is the amount of money after t years, P is the principal(the initial sum of money), r is the interest rate(as a decimal value), n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year and t is the time in years for which the money is invested or borrowed.

Suppose that $3000 is placed in an account that pays 16% interest compounded each year.

This means, respectively, that P = 3000, r = 0.16, n = 1

So

A(t) = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}

A(t) = 3000(1 + \frac{0.16}{1})^{t}

A(t) = 3000(1.16)^{t}

(a) Find the amount in the account at the end of 1 year.

This is A(1).

A(t) = 3000(1.16)^{t}

A(1) = 3000(1.16)^{1} = 3480

(b) Find the amount in the account at the end of 2 years.

This is A(2).

A(2) = 3000(1.16)^{2} = 4036.8

What is 854,861 rounded to the nearest ten thousand?
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

850,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The ten thousand place is the second digit to the left of the comma. In this case, the number is 5. When rounding, you look at the number to the right of it. If the number is five or greater, you round up. If the number is four or less, you round down. The number next to 5 is 4. So you round down to 850,000 instead of 860,000.

A husband and wife have normal vision, although both of the couple's fathers are red–green color-blind, an inherited X-linked re
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the recessive gene is carried in the x chromosome and a father can only pass it to a daughter, the father doesn't have the disease nor carries it.

The mother carries the recessive gene because her father passed her his conditioned gene (only having one x chromosome), while her mother gave her a normal one so she can have normal vision.  

The chance of having a boy or a girl is 1/2 and the chance of this baby of having both recessive gene is null because in order to have a girl that is color blind both her x chromosomes must have the recessive gene, but the father can't pass it since he doesn't carries it. Therefore the combined probability is 1/2*(1-0) = 1/2.
