Answer:

The total amount received is: $1906650

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

a = \$57000 --- initial

b = 1\% --- rate

n = 29 --- time

Required

Determine the total amount at the end of 29 years

The given question is an illustration of geometric progression, and we are to solve for the sum of the first n terms

Where n = 29

r = 1 + b

r = 1 + 1\%

Express percentage as decimal

r = 1 + 0.01

r = 1.01

The required is the calculated using:

S_n = \frac{a(r^n - 1)}{r - 1}

So, we have:

S_n = \frac{57000 * (1.01^{29} - 1)}{1.01 - 1}

S_n = \frac{57000 * (1.3345- 1)}{0.01}

S_n = \frac{57000 * 0.3345}{0.01}

S_n = \frac{19066.5}{0.01}

S_n = 1906650

<em>The total amount received is: $1906650</em>

Y = –3x 6 y = 9 what is the solution to the system of equations? (–21, 9) (9, –21) (–1, 9) (9, –1)
Romashka [77]

we have

<u>The system of equations</u>

y=-3x+6 -------> equation 1

y=9 -------> equation 2

Substitute equation 2 in equation 1

9=-3x+6

subtract 6 both sides

9-6=-3x+6-6

3=-3x

Divide by -3 both sides

x=-1

the solution is the point (-1,9)

therefore

the answer is

the solution to the system of equations is the point (-1,9)
