Answer:

20.4 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The nper formula in excel comes handy in this scenario:

=nper(rate,pmt,-pv,fv)

Rate is the monthly rate of 5.4%/12

Assuming actual investment is $5,000 which is pv

The triple amount would be $5,000*3=$15,000 which is future value fv.

pmt is the regular cash flow the investment which is zero

=nper(5.4%/12,0,-5000,15000)= 244.68  months

Yearly it can be expressed as = 244.68/12  =20.39  years

When rounded to one decimal place it becomes 20.4 years

meriva
A]
Amount of earning per hour=$8.59
Amount of David's benefits=18/100×8.59=:1.5462
Amount that David earn per hour including benefits is given by:
8.59+1.5462=$10.1362

b]Amount that David earns in 35 hour a week will be:
(amount per hour)*(number of hours)
=8.59*35
=$$300.65

C] amount earned by David including benefits will be:
(amount earned in 35 hours)+(total benefits in 35 hours)
total benefits=1.5462×35=$54.117
thus total amount will be:
300.65+54.117
=$354.767

Give an example of a quadratic with complex roots. Explain how you know it has complex roots.
Vladimir [108]
2x^2 + x + 3=0 has only complex roots.

The determinant is 1-4*2*3 = -23

-23 (or any determinant) is the part under the square root sign,  If that determinant is negative, knowing you cannot take the square root of a negative number, we know the answers must be complex.
