Answer:
$3628.24
Step-by-step explanation:
we use the formula for accrued value (A) with compounded interest:
where A= accrued value (principal plus the accumulated interest)
P = principal -> in our case $6000
r = annual interest rate (in decimal form) -> in our case 0.06
n = number of compoundings per year. In our case 2 (semiannually)
t = time in years -> in our case 8
Since this is the value of principal plus accumulated interest, we subtract from it the principal ($6000) to get the value of just the interest:
$9628.24 - $6000 = $3628.24
In both cases,
(as a consequence of the interesecting secant-tangent theorem)
So we have
10.
(omit the negative solution because that would make at least one of AB or AD have negative length)
11.
(again, omit the solutions that would give a negative length for either AB or AD)
