Answer:

The function that represents the value of the account at any time, t

$\:\:A=Pe^{rt}$

The total amount accrued, principal plus interest, from compound interest on an original principal of $ 5,500.00 at a rate of 3.75% per year compounded continuously over 6 years is $ 6,887.77.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Write the function that represents the value of the account at any time, t.

The function that represents the value of the account at any time, t

$\:\:A=Pe^{rt}$

where

A represents the Future Value

P represents the Principle (Initial Value)

r represents the Interest rate

t represents the time

b) What will the value be after 6 years?

Given

The principal amount P = $5500

Annual Rate r = 3.75% = 3.75/100 = 0.0375

Time Period t = 6 years

To Determine:

The total amount A = ?

Using the formula

$\:\:A=Pe^{rt}$

substituting the values

$A\:=\:5500\left(2.71828\right)^{\left(0.0375\right)\left(6\right)}$

$A=5500\cdot \:2.71828^{0.225}$

$A = $ 6,887.77$ $

Therefore, the total amount accrued, principal plus interest, from compound interest on an original principal of $ 5,500.00 at a rate of 3.75% per year compounded continuously over 6 years is $ 6,887.77.

Which expression is equivalent to StartFraction 10 x Superscript 6 Baseline y Superscript 12 Baseline Over negative 5 x Superscr

Oxana [17]

Equivalent expressions are expressions that have the same value

The equivalent expression of $\frac{10x^6y^{12}}{-5x^{-2}y^{-6}}$ is $-2x^{8}y^{18}$

The expression is given as:

$\frac{10x^6y^{12}}{-5x^{-2}y^{-6}}$

Divide the common terms in the above expression

$\frac{10x^6y^{12}}{-5x^{-2}y^{-6}} = -\frac{2x^6y^{12}}{x^{-2}y^{-6}}$

Combine expression with the same base, by applying the law of indices

$\frac{10x^6y^{12}}{-5x^{-2}y^{-6}} = -2x^{6--2}y^{12--6}$

Rewrite the exponents as follows

$\frac{10x^6y^{12}}{-5x^{-2}y^{-6}} = -2x^{6+2}y^{12+6}$

Evaluate the exponents

$\frac{10x^6y^{12}}{-5x^{-2}y^{-6}} = -2x^{8}y^{18}$

Hence, the equivalent expression of $\frac{10x^6y^{12}}{-5x^{-2}y^{-6}}$ is $-2x^{8}y^{18}$

3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 2, 8 Mean__ Median__ Range__

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Mean: 6

Median: 6

Range: 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean is found by adding up all the values in the set and dividing by the amount of numbers in the set (in this one there are 8) 2+3+4+5+7+8+9+10=48. 48 divided by 8 = 6.

Median is the number in the middle, when the numbers in the set are ordered from least to greatest. Since there are two middle numbers in this set we add them together and divide by 2. 5+7=12. 12 divided by 2 = 6.

Range is found by taking the largest number and subtracting the smallest number from it. 10-2=8.
