Answer: The interest is: $150.00
The formula we'll use for this is the simple interest formula, or:
Where:
P is the principal amount, $6000.00.
r is the interest rate, 5% per year, or in decimal form, 5/100=0.05.
t is the time involved, 6....month(s) time periods.
Since your interest rate is "per year" and you gave your time interval in "month(s)" we need to convert your time interval into "year" as well.
Do this by dividing your time, 6- month(s), by 12, since there's 12 months in 1 year.
So, t is 0.5....year time periods.
To find the simple interest, we multiply 6000 × 0.05 × 0.5 to get that:
The interest is: $150.00
The answer is 3 because if you were to round 2.9 the next whole up from that is 3
Answer:
b1 = 2 ; r = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
if b3 −b1 = 16 and b5 −b3 = 144.
For a geometric series :
Ist term = a
Second term = ar
3rd term = ar^2
4th term = ar^3
5th term = ar^4 ;...
If b3 - b1 = 16;
ar^2 - a = 16
a(r^2 - 1) = 16 - - - (1)
b5 - b3 = 144
ar^4 - ar^2 = 144
ar^2(r^2 - 1) = 144 - - - - (2)
Divide (1) by (2)
a(r^2 - 1) / ar^2(r^2 - 1) = 16 /144
a / ar^2 = 1 / 9
ar^2 = 9a
Substitute for a in ar^2 - a = 16
9a - a = 16
8a = 16
a = 2
From ar^2 - a = 16
2r^2 - 2 = 16
2r^2 = 16 + 2
2r^2 = 18
r^2 = 18 / 2
r^2 = 9
r = √9
r = 3
Hence ;
a = b1 = 2 ; r = 3
