Given:
Annual interest rate = r%
Growth factor : x = 1 + r
The below function gives the amount in the account after 4 years when the growth factor is x .
To find:
The total amount in the account if the interest rate for the account is 3% each year and initial amount.
Solution:
Rate of interest = 3% = 0.03
Growth factor : x = 1 + 0.03 = 1.03
We have,
Substitute x=1.03 in the given function, to find the total amount in the account if the interest rate for the account is 3% each year.
Therefore, the total amount in the account is 2431.31 if the interest rate for the account is 3% each year.
For initial amount the rate of interest is 0.
Growth factor : x = 1 + 0 = 1
Substitute x=0 in the given function to find the initial amount.
Therefore, 2250 was put into the account at the beginning.
Answer:
When we have a quadratic equation:
a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0
There is something called the determinant, and this is:
D = b^2 - 4*a*c
If D < 0, then the we will have complex solutions.
In our case, we have
5*x^2 - 10*x + c = 0
Then the determinant is:
D = (-10)^2 - 4*5*c = 100 - 4*5*c
And we want this to be smaller than zero, then let's find the value of c such that the determinant is exactly zero:
D = 0 = 100 - 4*5*c
4*5*c = 100
20*c = 100
c = 100/20 = 5
As c is multiplicating the negative term in the equation, if c increases, then we will have that D < 0.
This means that c must be larger than 5 if we want to have complex solutions,
c > 5.
I can not represent this in your number line, but this would be represented with a white dot in the five, that extends infinitely to the right, something like the image below:
Here , the ratio <em><u>UV:</u></em><em><u>VW</u></em> and <em><u>UT:TS</u></em> will be in proportion , so ;
Putting the given values ;
Should be 0,2,7,8 i dont think you could go any lower
Percent decrease=decrease/original times 100
decreas=860-790=70
original=860
percent decrease=70/860 times 100
percent decrease=0.0813953 times 100
percent decrease=8.13953
about 8%
