Answer:

a = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

In an AP  the difference between consecutive terms is common (equal), thus

t₂ - t₁ = t₃ - t₂ , that is

2a + 1 - (a + 1) = 4a - 1 - (2a + 1) ← distribute and simplify both sides

2a + 1 - a - 1 = 4a - 1 - 2a - 1

a = 2a - 2 ( subtract 2a from both sides )

- a = - 2 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

a = 2

Answer:

1. A container of milk 2L

2. An Eyedropper has 1 mL

3. A cup of punch 250 mL

4. A jar of pickles 500mL

Step-by-step explanation:

Without even measuring, just think of this problem logically. Remember that a 1 L is 1000mL, so it is 1000 times more than 1 mL.

A milk container would hold more than a cup of milk and that is more than 20 mL. The most logical answer would be 2L.

An eyedropper can hold just a little amount of liquid. Just think that it dispenses liquid in drops, the best answer would be 1mL (which is actually an estimate of the volume of a drop is.)

A cup of punch is about 250 mL. The keyword there is a CUP and 25L is a big amount and the cup would have to be HUGE.

Same as above, the keyword there is a jar. A 50L jar would be a very big amount for just a jar of pickles.

Matt invests $1,669 in a saving account with a fixed annual interest rate of 2% compounded 12 times per year. How long will it t
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

It will take 4.84 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial amount that Matt invested was $1669. It means that principal is

P = 1669

It was compounded 12 times per year. So

n = 12

The rate at which the principal was compounded is 2%. So

r = 2/100 = 0.02

The formula for compound interest is

A = P(1+r/n)^nt

A = total amount in the account at the end of t years.

A = 1,844.38

Therefore

1,844.38 = 1669(1+0.02/12)^(12×t)

1,844.38/1669 = (1.0017)^(12t)

1.1051 = (1.0017)^(12t)

Taking log to base 10 of both sides, it becomes

Log 1.1051 = log 1.0017^(12t)

Log 1.1051 = 12tlog 1.0017

0.043 = 0.00074 × 12t

0.043 = 0.00888t

t = 0.043/0.00888

t = 4.84 years
