Mathematics

Answer:

Robert will have $481 more in his account than Cooper.

Step-by-step explanation:

Compound interest:

The compound interest formula is given by:

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

Where A(t) is the amount of money after t years, P is the principal(the initial sum of money), r is the interest rate(as a decimal value), n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year and t is the time in years for which the money is invested or borrowed.

Continuous compounding:

Similar to compound interest:

A(t) = P(1 + r)^t

Cooper:

Cooper invested $3,100 in an account paying an interest rate of 2% compounded quarterly. This means that P = 3100, r = 0.02, n = 4

After 12 years is A(12). So

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

A(12) = 3100(1 + \frac{0.02}{4})^{4*12}

A(12) = 3938.5

Cooper will have $3938.5 in his account.

Robert:

Robert invested $3,100 in an account paying an interest rate of 3 % compounded continuously. So P = 3100, r = 0.03.

After 12 years.

A(t) = P(1 + r)^t

A(12) = 3100(1 + 0.03)^{12}

A(12) = 4419.9

Robert will have $4419.9 in his account.

How much more money would Robert have in his account than Cooper, to the nearest dollar?

4419.9 - 3938.5 = 481.4

To the nearest dollar, Robert will have $481 more in his account than Cooper.

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (0,-11) and (8,-8).
Korolek [52]

To find the slope of a line, we can use the following formula:

\displaystyle \large{m =  \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} }

m-term stands for slope or gradient. The formula is useful whenever you want to find a slope of two points.

Let these be the following:

\displaystyle \large{(x_1,y_1) = (0, - 11)} \\  \displaystyle \large{(x_2,y_2) = (8, - 8)}

Substitute the points in formula:

\displaystyle \large{m =  \frac{ - 8 -( - 11)}{ 8 - 0} }

Negative multiply negative always come out as positive.

\displaystyle \large{m =  \frac{ - 8  +  11}{ 8 - 0} } \\  \displaystyle \large{m =  \frac{ 3}{ 8 } } \\

Since m stands for slope, we can say that:

\displaystyle  \large \boxed{ \tt{slope  =  \frac{3}{8} }}
