How much should a family deposit at the end of every 6 months in order to have $4000 at the end of 3 years? The account pays 5.9

ra1l [238]

We are asked to determine the present value of an annuity that is paid at the end of each period. Therefore, we need to use the formula for present value ordinary, which is:

$PV_{ord}=C(\frac{1-(1+i)^{-kn}}{\frac{i}{k}})$

Where:

$\begin{gathered} C=\text{ payments each period} \\ i=\text{ interest rate} \\ n=\text{ number of periods} \\ k=\text{ number of times the interest is compounded} \end{gathered}$

Since the interest is compounded semi-annually this means that it is compounded 2 times a year, therefore, k = 2. Now we need to convert the interest rate into decimal form. To do that we will divide the interest rate by 100:

$\frac{5.9}{100}=0.059$

Now we substitute the values:

$PV_{ord}=4000(\frac{1-(1+0.059)^{-2(3)}}{\frac{0.059}{2}})$

Now we solve the operations, we get:

$PV_{\text{ord}}=39462.50$

Therefore, the present value must be $39462.50

20 POINTS HELP ME PLEASE How many solutions does the system have

finlep [7]

Answer:

Two

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 4 = 4x + 1

x² - 4x + 3 = 0

x² - 3x - x + 3 = 0

x(x - 3) - (x - 3) = 0

(x - 3)(x - 1) = 0

x = 1, 3

y = 4(1) + 1 = 5

y = 4(3) + 1 = 13

Two solutions: (1,5) (3,13)

A and B can fill a cistern in 4 hours. A and C can fill

kirill [66]

Answer:

20 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We can work easier if we think in terms of an hour

the first equation that we can write is

A + B = 1/4 (its meaning is that in an hour A and B fill 1/4 of the cistern)

the second equation we can write is

A + C = 1/5 (its meaning is that in an hour A and C fill 1/5 of the cistern)

the third equation that we can write is

B = 2C (its meaning is that in an hour B fill 2 times C the cistern)

now we can substitute the value of B in the first two equations

A + 2C = 1/4

A + C = 1/5

A = 1/5 - C

1/5 - C + 2C = 1/4

C = 1/4 -1/5

C = (5-4)/20

C = 1/20 (this means that in an hour C will fill 1/20 of the cistern, so it takes 20 hours to fill the entire cistern)

A = 1/5 - 1/20

A = (4-1)/20 = 3/20

B = 1/20 *2 = 1/10
