Answer:

  • The total amount accrued, principal plus interest,  from compound interest on an original principal of  $ 300.00 at a rate of 6% per year  compounded 2 times per year  over 0.5 years is $ 309.00.

  • The total amount accrued, principal plus interest,  from compound interest on an original principal of  $ 300.00 at a rate of 6% per year  compounded 2 times per year  over 1 year is $ 318.27.

Step-by-step explanation:

a)  How much will you have at the middle of the first year?

Using the formula

A\:=\:P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}

where

  • Principle = P
  • Annual rate = r
  • Compound = n
  • Time  = (t in years)
  • A = Total amount

Given:

Principle P = $300

Annual rate r = 6% = 0.06 per year

Compound n = Semi-Annually = 2

Time (t in years) = 0.5 years

To determine:

Total amount = A = ?

Using the formula

A\:=\:P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}

substituting the values

A=300\left(1+\frac{0.06}{2}\right)^{\left(2\right)\left(0.5\right)}

A=300\cdot \frac{2.06}{2}

A=\frac{618}{2}

A=309 $

Therefore, the total amount accrued, principal plus interest,  from compound interest on an original principal of  $ 300.00 at a rate of 6% per year  compounded 2 times per year  over 0.5 years is $ 309.00.

Part b) How much at the end of one year?

Using the formula

A\:=\:P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}

where

  • Principle = P
  • Annual rate = r
  • Compound = n
  • Time  = (t in years)
  • A = Total amount

Given:

Principle P = $300

Annual rate r = 6% = 0.06 per year

Compound n = Semi-Annually = 2

Time (t in years) = 1 years

To determine:

Total amount = A = ?

so using the formula

A\:=\:P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}

so substituting the values

A\:=\:300\left(1+\frac{0.06}{2}\right)^{\left(2\right)\left(1\right)}

A=300\cdot \frac{2.06^2}{2^2}

A=318.27 $

Therefore, the total amount accrued, principal plus interest,  from compound interest on an original principal of  $ 300.00 at a rate of 6% per year  compounded 2 times per year  over 1 year is $ 318.27.

Please help me! Quickly I WILL GIVE YOU BRAINLEST IF YOU ANSWER ME PLEASE! 15points!
hram777 [196]

Answer:

You would plot the following points, remembering that they’re in the form (x,y) = (time, height):

(1,35) (2,60) (3,92) (4,120) (5,175)

The ordered pairs would be closer together, and there would be 4 times more of them if you were to measure every 15 seconds instead. You would have a line with more points that were closer together.

They have the same volume, so it's not a or d, but the surface area of a is 104, and the surface area of b is 94, so the answer is B.

Answer:

19,23

Step-by-step explanation:

9+x-7≥ 21

Combine like terms

2+x≥21

Subtract 2 from each side

2+x-2 ≥21-2

x≥19

Any number greater than or equal to 19
