Answer:

  B. Between 9% and 9.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the sum of a series of monthly payments P earning interest rate r compounded monthly for t years is given by ...

  A = P((1 +r/12)^(12t) -1)/(r/12)

The number of years in this case is ...

  70 -18 = 52

We want to find r such that ...

  1,000,000 = 50·12((1 +r/12)^(12·52) -1)/r

  10,000/6 = ((1 +r/12)^624 -1)/r

We can try some values for r to see what may work.

<u>r = 9%</u>

  ((1 +.09/12)^624 -1)/.09 = 1165.60 . . . not quite enough

<u>r = 10%</u>

  ((1 +0.10/12)^624 -1)/0.10 = 176408 . . . > 1666.67

The required interest rate will be between 9% and 10%, option B.

_____

In general, finding the exact interest rate is an iterative process. A financial calculator can do it for you. The result is near 9.86%. The graph shows a solution using a graphing calculator.

How many complex roots does the polynomial equation have?<br><br> 3x5−2x+1=0
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer : The given polynomial equation can have 0,2 or 4 complex roots.

Explanation:-

Given polynomial equation is 3x^5-2x+1=0 which is a polynomial of degree 5.

We know that the complex roots always occur in pair ,therefore the number of complex roots in any polynomial must be an even number but less than equal  to the degree of polynomial.

Thus, the given polynomial equation has 4 complex roots.

A group of engineers is building a parabolic satellite dish whose shape will be formed by rotating the curve y=ax 2 about the y-
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

a = \frac{1}{2}. Surface Area = \frac{4}{3}ft^{2}. and area of the Dish = \frac{4}{3}ft^{2}+pi4^{2} = \frac{4}{3}ft^{2}+50.27=51.6ft^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

(1) Constant. y(x) = ax^{2} that is the curve that we need to rotate around the y axis to get the parabola with diameter of 8 feet and 2 meter depth that statement is translated in mathematics as x = -4 to 4 and y = 0 to 2.

y max = 2, x max = 4 setting up a equation with a unknown gives

2=a4 and  a = \frac{1}{2}.

so we have now.

y(x) = \frac{1}{2}x^{2} (Done with solving for a Constant).

(2) Surface Area.

Setting Up surface integral.

(i) range in x = 0 to 4.

(ii) range in y = 0 to 2.

integral is.

Integral(0-2)[{integral[(0-4)\frac{1}{32}x^{2}]}]dy

Evaluating this integral gives. \frac{4}{3}ft^{2}.

and area is surface area + area of the circle with 8ft diameter.

= \frac{4}{3}ft^{2}+pi4^{2} = \frac{4}{3}ft^{2}+50.27=51.6ft^{2}...

Note the Difference between area and aurface area.!

NEED HELP ASAP!!! What is the interquartile range of the data set? Enter the answer in the box. Key: 1|5 means 15 A stem-and-lea
monitta
To find the interquartile range, you will list the data that is presented in the stem and leaf plot.

Find the median of the data (30.5)

Find the median of the lower half and the median of the upper half.

Subtract these two values.

The data are <u>20</u>, 25, 30, 30, 31, 40, 41, <u>49</u>.
                            27.5                40.5
40.5-27.5 = 13

The interquartile range is 13.

Solve, using the substitution method.
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

(-6,-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

X+y=-11

solve for x

x=-11-y

substiute x value into 2nd equation

2x-3y=3

2(-11-y)-3y=3

-22-2y-3y=3

-5y=25

y=-5

substitute -5 for y in either equation to find x

x+y=-11

x+-5=-11

x=-6
