Complete Question

If $12000 is invested in an account in which the interest earned is continuously compounded at a rate of 2.5% for 3 years

Answer:

$ 12,934.61

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for Compound Interest Compounded continuously is given as:

A = Pe^rt

A = Amount after t years

r = Interest rate = 2.5%

t = Time after t years = 3

P = Principal = Initial amount invested = $12,000

First, convert R percent to r a decimal

r = R/100

r = 2.5%/100

r = 0.025 per year,

Then, solve our equation for A

A = Pe^rt

A = 12,000 × e^(0.025 × 3)

A = $ 12,934.61

The total amount from compound interest on an original principal of $12,000.00 at a rate of 2.5% per year compounded continuously over 3 years is $ 12,934.61.

Consider the force field and circle defined below.

By Green's theorem,

$\displaystyle\int_{x^2+y^2=9}\vec F(x,y)\cdot\mathrm d\vec r=\iint_D\left(\frac{\partial(xy)}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial(x^2)}{\partial y}\right)\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy=\iint_Dy\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy$

where $C$ is the circle $x^2+y^2=9$ and $D$ is the interior of $C$ , or the disk $x^2+y^2\le1$ .

Convert to polar coordinates, taking

$\begin{cases}x=r\cos\theta\\y=r\sin\theta\end{cases}\implies\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy=r\,\mathrm dr\,\mathrm d\theta$

Then the work done by $\vec F$ on the particle is

$\displaystyle\iint_Dy\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy=\int_0^{2\pi}\int_0^3(r\sin\theta)r\,\mathrm dr\,\mathrm d\theta=\left(\int_0^{2\pi}\sin\theta\,\mathrm d\theta\right)\left(\int_0^3r^2\,\mathrm dr\right)=\boxed0$
