Find the simple interest on an investment of $3500 for 2.5 years at

Mathematics
1 answer:
aleksklad [387]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

$481.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for simple interest is i = p*r*t, in which p is the principal, r is the interest rate as a decimal fraction, and t is the time in years.

Here p = $3500, r = 0.055 and t =2.5 yrs, and so the simple interest is

i = ($3500.00)(0.055)(2.5 yr), or

i = $481.25

Ben and Josh went to the roof of their 40-foot tall high school to throw their math books off the edge.
krok68 [10]

Answer:

  • Josh's book lands first
  • Ben's lands about 0.648 seconds later

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the given equation for v=60 and s=40, the height of Ben's book is ...

  h(t) = -16t² +60t +40

We want to find t when h(t) = 0, so we're looking for the solution to ....

  0 = -16t² +60t +40

Using the quadratic formula, we find the positive value of t to be ...

  t = (-60 -√(60² -4(-16)(40)))/(2(-16)) = (15 +√385)/8 ≈ 4.3277

__

Similarly, the height of Josh's book is ...

  0 = -16t² +48t +40

  t = (-48 -√(48² -4(-16)(40)))/(2(-16)) = (12 +√304)/8 ≈ 3.6794

__

The time before Josh's book lands is shorter by ...

  4.3277 -3.6794 ≈ 0.6482 . . . . . seconds

Josh's book reaches the ground first, by about 0.648 seconds.

What is Permutations and Combinations?
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Permutation is to select an object then arrange it and it cares about the orders while Combination is about only selecting an object without caring the orders.

Permutation can be expressed in math as:

\displaystyle{_n P _r = \dfrac{n!}{(n-r)!} \ \ \ (n \geq r) }

where n is a number of total object and r is a number of selected object to arrange. Hence. n cannot be less than r.

Now let's see an example of permutation, suppose we have letter A, B and C. I'd like to know how many ways these words can be arranged:

Since there are 3 letters total and 3 selected letters to arrange then:

\displaystyle{_3 P _3 = \dfrac{3!}{(3-3)!}}\\\\\displaystyle{_3 P _3 = \dfrac{3 \times 2 \times 1}{0!}}\\\\\displaystyle{_3 P _3 = \dfrac{6}{1}}\\\\\displaystyle{_3 P _3 = 6}

Therefore, there are 6 ways to arrange the letters - we can also demonstrate visually:

ABC - 1

ACB - 2

BAC - 3

BCA - 4

CAB - 5

CBA - 6

Notice that if you do visually, you'll get the same answer as the calculation of permutation!

----

Combination can be expressed mathematically as:

\displaystyle{_n C _r = \dfrac{n!}{(n-r)!r!} = \dfrac{_n P _r}{r!} \ \ \ (n \geq r) }

The difference between permutation and combination is that you only find how many ways you can select object in combination. Therefore, no arrange and doesn't care about order, just ways to select.

Suppose we have same 3 letters: A, B and C. I want to find how many ways I can select these 3 letters:

Since there are 3 letters total and 3 selected letters:

\displaystyle{_3 C _3 = \dfrac{3!}{(3-3)!3!}}\\\\\displaystyle{_3 C _3 = \dfrac{3!}{0!3!}}\\\\\displaystyle{_3 C _3 = \dfrac{3!}{3!}}\\\\\displaystyle{_3 C _3 = 1}

Hence, there is only one way to select 3 letters. This makes sense because if you have 3 letters then you can only select 3 letters only one way.

The first number of three consecutive even integers equals the sum of the second and third. Find the three numbers.
Arlecino [84]

The first integer (x) is equal to the consecutive even integers, x+2, x+4.

x = (x+2) + (x+4)

x = 2x + 6

x - 6 = 2x

x = -6 (First integer)


+2

-4 (Second integer)


+4

-2 (Third integer)


Integers: -6, -4, -2

Equation: x = (x+2) + (x+4)
