The Johnson family wants to start a college fund for their daughter Gabriella. They put $63, 000 into an account that grows at a

rate of 2.55% per year, compounded quarterly. Given the function G(t)= 63,000(1+ .0255/4)^ 4t, where G(t) represents the amount of money in the account t years after the account is opened, given that no more money is deposited into or withdrawn from the account.
Calculate the number of years it will take for the account to reach approximately $150,000, to the nearest hundredth of a year.

Answer:

<em>It will take approximately 34.13 years</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The function G(t) below represents the amount of money in some account t years after the account is opened for The Johnson's daughter Gabriella:

G(t)= 63,000(1+ .0255/4)^ {4t}

It's required to find the number of years (t) it will take for the account to reach G(t)=150,000. We need to solve the equation:

63,000(1+ .0255/4)^ {4t}=150,000

Dividing by 63,000 and simplifying:

\displaystyle (1+ .0255/4)^ {4t}=\frac{150,000}{63,000}=2.38095

Taking logarithms:

\displaystyle \log(1+ .0255/4)^ {4t}=\log 2.38095

Applying logarithms property:

\displaystyle (4t) \log(1+ .0255/4)=\log 2.38095

Solving for t:

\displaystyle 4t =\frac{\log 2.38095}{\log(1+ .0255/4)}

\displaystyle t =\frac{\log 2.38095}{4\log(1+ .0255/4)}

Calculating:

\displaystyle t =\frac{0.37675}{0.01104}

\boxed{t \approx 34.13}

It will take approximately 34.13 years

Answer:

The answer to your question is 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Initial price = $2.00

Final price = $2.50

First we subtract the final price to the inicial price

              increment = 2.50 - 2.00

                                = $0.50    It's the amount that the school increases to the community members

            Now we use a rule of three to find the percent

                 $2.00 ----------------------  100%

                 $0.50  ---------------------    x

x = 0.50 x 100/2 = 50/2 = 25%

Write out the sample space for the given experiment. Use the following letters to indicate each choice: M for mushrooms, O for o
pshichka [43]

Answer: {(MBV), (MBH) , (MEV) , (MEH) , (OBV), (OBH) , (OEV) , (OEH)}

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Sample space is a set that contains all the possible outcomes for an event.

For salad:

Choices for extra toppings (mushrooms, olives) =2

Choices for meats (bacon, eggs) =2

Choices for dressings (vinaigrette, honey mustard.)= 2

By Fundamental counting principal .

The number of different salads can be made= (Choices for extra toppings) x (Choices for meats ) x (Choices for dressings)

= 2 x 2 x 2 = 8

All the possible outcomes = (MBV), (MBH) , (MEV) , (MEH) , (OBV), (OBH) , (OEV) , (OEH)

Required Sample space would be : {(MBV), (MBH) , (MEV) , (MEH) , (OBV), (OBH) , (OEV) , (OEH)}
