Answer:

A) A = W(W + 4)

B) Length = 7 ft

Width = 3 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Let the length and width of the rectangular rug be L and W respectively.

We are told that the rug is 4 feet longer than it is wide. Thus;

L = (W + 4)

Also we are told that the area is 21 ft²

Now, formula for area of a rectangle is;

A = LW.

Thus;

A = W(W + 4)

21 = W(W + 4)

B) 21 = W² + 4W

W² + 4W - 21 = 0

Using quadratic formula to find the roots, we arrive at W = 3 ft.

Thus, L = 3 + 4 = 7 ft

Seth has a bank account which pays 1.01% interest, compounded quarterly. Seth withdraws $4,567 from the account every quarter fo

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

C. $538,021.66

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the money Seth withdraws was compounded every quarter for 35 years. So, we get,

Amount withdrawn every quarter, P = $4567

Rate of interest, r = $\frac{0.0101}{4}$ = 0.002525

Time period, n = 35 × 4 = 140

Now, as we know the formula for annuity as,

$P=\frac{r \times PV}{1-(1+r)^{-n}}$

where P = installments, PV = present value, r = rate of interest and n = time period.

This gives, $PV=\frac{P \times [1-(1+r)^{-n}]}{r}$

i.e. $PV=\frac{4567 \times [1-(1+0.002525)^{-140}]}{0.002525}$

i.e. $PV=\frac{4567 \times [1-(1.002525)^{-140}]}{0.002525}$

i.e. $PV=\frac{4567 \times [1-0.7021]}{0.002525}$

i.e. $PV=\frac{4567 \times 0.2975}{0.002525}$

i.e. $PV=\frac{1358.68}{0.002525}$

i.e. $PV=538,091.08$

So, the closest answer to initial value of the account is $538,021.66

Hence, option C is correct.

AlekseyPX

Answer: y = x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 1x + c

-7 = 1(-8) + c

-7 = -8 + c

-7 + 8 = c

1 = c

y = 1x + 1 or

y = x + 1
