A company has a bonus incentive for its employees. The company pays employees an initial signing bonus of $1000 and invests that

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Since this is a compound interest, we will use this formula: A = P(1+r/n)^n*t

P = $1000 --> the amount that we start with

r = 8% --> this is the rate

n = 4 --> This is because it is compounded quarterly.

t = 5 --> the amount of years

A = 1,000.00(1 + 0.02)^(20)

So our final value after inserting those numbers in the equation is: $1,485.95.

Find the perimeter of a field that has length 2/x + 1 and width 5/x^2 -1.

Semmy [17]

Answer:

D)4x + 6/(x + 1)(x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

A field is basically a rectangle, so to find the perimeter of our field we are using the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle

$p=2(l+w)$

where

$p$ is the perimeter

$l$ is the length

$w$ is the width

We know from our problem that the field has length 2/x + 1 and width 5/x^2 -1, so $l=\frac{2}{x+1}$ and $w=\frac{5}{x^2-1}$ .

Replacing values:

$p=2(l+w)$

$p=2(\frac{2}{x+1} +\frac{5}{x^2-1})$

Notice that the denominator of the second fraction is a difference of squares, so we can factor it using the formula $a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)$ where $a$ is the first term and $b$ is the second term. We can infer that $a=x^2$ and $b=1^2$ . So, $x^2-1=(x+1)(x-1)$ . Replacing that:

$p=2(\frac{2}{x+1} +\frac{5}{x^2-1})$

$p=2(\frac{2}{x+1} +\frac{5}{(x+1)(x-1})$

We can see that the common denominator of our fractions is $(x+1)(x-1)$ . Now we can simplify our fraction using the common denominator:

$p=2(\frac{2(x-1)+5}{(x+1)(x-1)} )$

$p=2(\frac{2x-2+5}{(x+1)(x-1)} )$

$p=2(\frac{2x+3}{(x+1)(x-1)} )$

$p=\frac{4x+6}{(x+1)(x-1)}$

We can conclude that the perimeter of the field is D)4x + 6/(x + 1)(x - 1).

A golf ball is hit off a tee toward the green. The height of the ball is modeled by the function h(t) = −16t2 + 96t, where t equ

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

t = 3; It takes the ball 3 seconds to reach the maximum height and 6 seconds to fall back to the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the axis of symmetry, we need to find the vertex by turning this equation into vertex form (this is y = a(x - c)² + d where (c, d) is the vertex). To do this, we can use the "completing the square" strategy.

h(t) = -16t² + 96t

= -16(t² - 6t)

= -16(t² - 6t + 9) - (-16) * 9

= -16(t - 3)² + 144

Therefore, we know that the vertex is (3, 144) so the axis of symmetry is t = 3. Since the coefficient of the squared term, -16, is negative, it means that the vertex is the maximum. We know that it takes the golf ball 3 seconds to reach the maximum height (since the t value of the vertex is 3) and because the vertex is on the axis of symmetry, it would take 3 more seconds for the ball to fall to the ground, therefore it takes 3 + 3 = 6 seconds to fall to the ground. The final answer is "t = 3; It takes the ball 3 seconds to reach the maximum height and 6 seconds to fall back to the ground.".
