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>

What is 7 8/13 rounded to the nearest whole number?
vfiekz [6]

Answer: The answer would be 8.

Step-by-step explanation: I'm going to assume you mean 7 8/13 is a mixed fraction. So you multiply the denominator, 13, multiply 7 to that, then add 8 to it and the denominator would be the same as before. That should give you 99/13. When you divide, you get around 7.6, rounding closest to 8.

Select the two binomials that are factors of this trinomial.
mojhsa [17]

To split this trinomial into two binomials, let's try and find two numbers which add to 6 and multiply to 8. To do this, we can list all the factors of 8 and then choose which factors also add to 6.

Factors of 8: (1, 8), (2, 4)


1 + 8 = 9, meaning that 1 and 8 are not the factors we are looking for. However, 2 and 4 do add to 6. By combining these numbers which an x (so that we can produce the x^2 term at the front of the trinomial), we find the binomials:

x+ 2 and x + 4


The answer is x + 2 and x + 4.
