Answer: $585.60

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of years that would have passed is;

= 2016 - 1626

= 390 years

Using simple interest, the investment will be worth;

= Principal * ( 1 + rate * number of years)

= 24 * (1 + 0.06* 390)

= $585.60

PLEASE HELP ME 10 Points
ra1l [238]

Answer:

y = 1/2 x + -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

m is equal to change in y/ change in x ( aka horizontal change over vertical change), in the graph the horizontal change is 1 up for every 2 units right, which equals 1/2

b is the y-intercept (when x=0), if you look at the graph x=0 when y=-5

Lastly, you put in m and b into the equation to get y = 1/2 x + -5

Share £20 in the ratio 2:3
enyata [817]

Answer:

£8 : £12

Step-by-step explanation:

2:3 means that there are 5 parts in total. Let parts be represented as p. 5p = £20, p = £4. That meant 2 parts = £8 and 3 parts = £12. Hence to share £20 in the ratio 2:3 is £8 : £12

In a metal fabrication​ process, metal rods are produced to a specified target length of 15 feet. Suppose that the lengths are n
Leto [7]

Answer:

95% Confidence interval: (14.4537 ,15.1463)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Population mean, μ = 15 feet

Sample mean, \bar{x} = 14.8 feet

Sample size, n = 16

Alpha, α = 0.05

Sample standard deviation, σ = 0.65 feet

Degree of freedom = n - 1 = 15

95% Confidence interval:

\bar{x} \pm t_{critical}\displaystyle\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}  

Putting the values, we get,  

t_{critical}\text{ at degree of freedom 15 and}~\alpha_{0.05} = \pm 2.1314  

14.8 \pm 2.1314(\dfrac{0.65}{\sqrt{16}} ) \\\\= 14.8 \pm 0.3463 = (14.4537 ,15.1463)  

is the required confidence interval for the true mean length of rods.

Solving Quadratic Equations: Factoring
Radda [10]

Answer:

The factored form of the equation is (x+4)(x-6)=0.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because (x-4)(x+2)=x^2-4x+2x-8=16,

so that means x^2-2x-8=16,

move 16 to the other side,

you get x^2-2x-8-16=0,

simplify,

you get x^2-2x-24=0,

which satisfies (x+4)(x-6)=0 when factored out.

Because (x+4)(x-6)=x^2+4x-6x-24=x^2-2x-24=0.
