Answer:

Sum is 20,935.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an arithmetic progression.

Sum:

$S = \frac{n}{2} (2a + (n - 1)d)$

n is the number of terms, n = 79

S is the sum

a is the first term, a = -8

d is common difference, d = -1-(-8) = 7

substitute:

$S = \frac{79}{2} (2 \times - 8 + (79 - 1) \times 7)) \\ \\ S = \frac{79}{2} ( - 16 + 546) \\ \\ S = \frac{79}{2} (530) \\ S = 20935$

2 complementary angles are in the ratio 7:8.find the angles

slavikrds [6]

Complementary angles add up to 90 degrees
7:8....added = 15

7/15 * 90 = 630/15 = 42 <== one angle is 42 degrees
8/15 * 90 = 720/15 = 48 <== other angle is 48 degrees

You invest 4,100 in an account that pays an interest rate of 7.25% ,compounded continuously. Calculate the balance of your accou

levacccp [35]

$\bf ~~~~~~ \textit{Continuously Compounding Interest Earned Amount}
\\\\
A=Pe^{rt}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\
P=\textit{original amount deposited}\to& \$4100\\
r=rate\to 7.25\%\to \frac{7.25}{100}\to &0.0725\\
t=years\to &8
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
A=4100e^{0.0725\cdot 8}\implies A=4100e^{0.58}\implies A\approx 7322.757566075$
