To calculate amount accrued after a given period of time we use the compound interest formula: A= P(1+r/100)∧n where A i the amount, P is the principal amount, r is the rate of interest and n is the interest period.
In the first part; A= $ 675.54, r= 1.25% (compounded semi-annually) and n =22 ( 11 years ), hence, 675.54 = P( 1.0125)∧22
= 675.54= 1.314P
P= $ 514.109 , therefore the principal amount was $ 514 (to nearest dollar)
Part 2
principal amount (p)= $ 541, rate (r) = 1.2 % (compounded twice a year thus rate for one half will be 2.4/2) and the interest period (n)= 34 (17 years×2)
Amount= 541 (1.012)∧34
= 541 ×1.5
= $ 811.5
Therefore, the account balance after $ 811.5.
D
Divide the whole thing by 2
2(X^2+8x-5)
X^2+8x. =5
Half of 8 is 4 sq it so you add 16
X^2+8x+16= 5+16
(X+4)^2=21
Descending order...largest to smallest
the largest one is the one with the biggest exponent
so the first term is : 7z^4
It is going to be 3/10 because you simplify 6 blue/ 20 total marbles
