Answer:
$0.025x² . . . where x is a number of percentage points
Step-by-step explanation:
The multiplier for semi-annual compounding will be ...
(1 + x/2)² = 1 + x + x²/4
The multiplier for annual compounding will be ...
1 + x
The multiplier for semiannual compounding is greater by ...
(1 + x + x²/4) - (1 + x) = x²/4
Maria's interest will be greater by $1000×(x²/4) = $250x², where x is a decimal fraction.
If x is a percent value, as in x = 6 when x percent = 6%, then the difference amount is ...
$250·(x/100)² = $0.025x² . . . where x is a number of percentage points
_____
<u>Example</u>:
For x percent = 6%, the difference in interest earned on $1000 for one year is $0.025×6² = $0.90.
A^2-3a+14 is the answer :)
I can give you the equations for the graph. First one would be y = 0.90x + 25 (25 being the y intercept) and the other one would simply be y = 1.35. If you have a graphing calculator like me you can use it when modeling the graph. Hopefully this helps!
because the denominator is on the bottom, you have to find a number which both 12 and 9 can be divided by. In this case the only answer that isn't a decimal is 3
