Given the equation A=250(1.1)t, you can determine that the interest is compounded annually and the interest rate is 10%. Suppose

the interest rate were to change to being compounded quarterly. Rewrite the equation to find the new interest rate that would keep A and P the same.
What is the approximate new interest rate?

Convert your answer to a percentage, round it to the nearest tenth, and enter it in the space provided, like this: 42.53%

Answer:

The new interest rate is about 0.1038.

As a percent, this is about 10.4%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

\displaystyle A=250(1.1)^t

From this, we can determine that the interest rate is compounded annually at 10%.

We want a new equation that keeps A and P but the interest rate is compounded quarterly.

Compound interest is given by:

\displaystyle A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}

Since we are compounding quarterly, n = 4. Since the rate is 10%, r = 0.1. P stays at 250. Therefore:

\displaystyle A=250(1+\frac{0.1}{4})^{4t}

Add:

\displaystyle A=250(1.025)^{4t}

Rewrite:

A=250((1.025)^4)^t

So:

A\approx 250(1.1038)^t

Therefore, the approximate new interest rate is 1.1038 - 1 or about 0.1038.

As a percent, this will be 0.1038 or about 10.4%.

A hockey puck strikes a wall at an angle of 30 degrees. the puck then travels away from the wall at the same angle.
patriot [66]

Two or more angles whose sum is 180° are called supplementary angles. The measure of the ∠y is 120°.

<h3>What are supplementary angles?</h3>

Two or more angles whose sum is 180° are called supplementary angles. If a straight line is intersected by a line, then there are two angles form on each of the sides of the considered straight line. Those two-two angles are two pairs of supplementary angles. That means, that if supplementary angles are aligned adjacent to each other, their exterior sides will make a straight line.

Given the puck strikes the wall at an angle of 30°, it goes away at the same angle of 30°. Therefore, the measure of angle y can be found using the sum of the angle as a supplementary angle. Thus, we can write,

30° + ∠y + 30° = 180°

60° + ∠y = 180°

∠y = 180° - 60° = 120°

Hence, the measure of the ∠y is 120°.

Find the solution set.<br> x^2 – 5x = 0
Tom [10]

Answer:

x=0  and x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 – 5x = 0

Factor out an x

x(x-5) = 0

Using the zero product property

x=0 and x-5 =0

Solving

x=0 x-5+5 = 0+5

x=0  and x=5

Help please!!!!!!!!!<br> A. (1, -2)<br> B. (1, 2)<br> C. (2, -1)<br> D. Infinite number of solutions
Maru [420]

Answer:

(1, -2)  Option A in your list of possible answers

See attached image.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to graph the lines by using a couple of points on the plane for each equation.

For example:

the points (0, -3)  and (3, 0) for the line  y = x - 3

and the points (0, 1) and (-1, 4) for the line  y = - 3 x + 1

Please see the lines in the attached image, and notice that they intersect at the point (1, -2), which gives you the solution for the system.
