We have been given that you invest $100,000 in an account earning 8% interest compounded annually. We are asked to find the time it will take the amount to reach $300,000.

We will use compound interest formula to solve our given problem.

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

A = Final amount after t years,

P = Principal amount,

r = Annual interest rate in decimal form,

n = Number of times interest is compounded per year,

t = Time in years.  

8\%=\frac{8}{100}=0.08

300,000=100,000(1+\frac{0.08}{1})^{1\cdot t}

300,000=100,000(1.08)^{t}

\frac{300,000}{100,000}=\frac{100,000(1.08)^{t}}{100,000}

3=(1.08)^{t}

(1.08)^{t}=3

Let us take natural log on both sides of equation.

\text{ln}((1.08)^{t})=\text{ln}(3)

Using natural log property \text{ln}(a^b)=b\cdot \text{ln}(a), we will get:

t\cdot \text{ln}(1.08)=\text{ln}(3)

\frac{t\cdot \text{ln}(1.08)}{\text{ln}(1.08)}=\frac{\text{ln}(3)}{\text{ln}(1.08)}

t=\frac{1.0986122886681097}{0.0769610411361283}

t=14.274914586

Upon rounding to nearest tenth of year, we will get:

t\approx 14.3

Therefore, it will take approximately 14.3 years until the account holds $300,000.

Help with number three!

1 hour and 35 minutes without the break. 60 minutes in an hour, subtract 15 from 50 = 35 minutes. It starts at 3 and ends at 4, which is 1 hour apart. Because there us a break you subtract 30 from the minutes , 35-30=5. So you have 1 hour and 5 minutes.

How much more interest will Maria receive if she invests $1,000 for one year at x percent annual interest, compounded semiannual
notka56 [123]

Answer:

  $0.025x² . . . where x is a number of percentage points

Step-by-step explanation:

The multiplier for semi-annual compounding will be ...

  (1 + x/2)² = 1 + x + x²/4

The multiplier for annual compounding will be ...

  1 + x

The multiplier for semiannual compounding is greater by ...

  (1 + x + x²/4) - (1 + x) = x²/4

Maria's interest will be greater by $1000×(x²/4) = $250x², where x is a decimal fraction.

If x is a percent value, as in x = 6 when x percent = 6%, then the difference amount is ...

  $250·(x/100)² = $0.025x² . . . where x is a number of percentage points

_____

<u>Example</u>:

For x percent = 6%, the difference in interest earned on $1000 for one year is $0.025×6² = $0.90.

12−(−2) over a line 12−6÷2
joja [24]

Given 12−(−2) over a line 12−6÷2

We can use PEMDAS rule and solve the expression in the order as given below:-

1. Parentheses

2. Exponents

3. Multiplication

4. Division

5. Addition

6. Subtraction

Now solving for given expression:-

\frac{12-(-2)}{12-(\frac{6}{2})}\\\\=\frac{12+2}{12-3}\\\\=\frac{14}{9}

So final answer is 14/9 i.e. 14 over 9.
