Answer:

the rate of inflation is 2%.

Step-by-step explanation:

given:

Nominal interest rate =3%

Real interest rate=1%

To Find:

Rate of inflation=?

Solution:

Nominal interest rate:

Nominal interest rate refers to the interest rate before taking inflation into account.

Inflation rate:

The inflation rate is the percent increase or decrease in prices during a specified period. It's usually over a month or a year.

Real interest rate:

A real interest rate is an interest rate that has been adjusted to remove the effects of inflation to reflect the real cost of funds to the borrower and the real yield to the lender or to an investor.

Real interest rate ≈ nominal interest rate − inflation rate.

This can be re written as

inflation rate= Real interest rate - nominal interest rate

Substituting the values,

inflation interest = 1+3

inflation interest=4%

Answer the question below

Answer:

A) -1

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{3 + 2\sqrt{5} }{2\sqrt{5}-3 } \\$

We can rewrite 2√5 - 3 as -(3 + 2√5)

Therefore,

$\frac{3+ 2\sqrt{5} }{-(3 + 2\sqrt{5} )} \\$

We can cancel out 3 + 2√5 both in the numerator and the denominator. So we get

= 1/-1

= -1

Answer : A) -1

Thank you.

Answer:

All answers are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Henry needs a total of 15 pints.

3 pints of yellow multiplied by 3 gives 9 pints of yellow, he needs 6 pints of red to get to 15, so he multiplies 2 pints of red by 3 to get 6 pints of red.

You add 9 + 6 to get the total of 15 pints he needs.

What is the result of isolating y2 in the equation below? 9x2 + 7y2 = 42

ElenaW [278]

First, move 9x^2 to the right:

7y^2 = 42 - 9x^2

Then, divide 7 on both sides:

y^2 = 6 - 9/7 * x^2

A certain organization recommends the use of passwords with the following format: vowel commavowel, consonant comma consonant c

zimovet [89]

The password format is = inpray93

vowel , consonant, consonant, consonant, vowel, consonant, number, number.

There are 21 consonants, 5 vowels and 10 number choices (0-9)

Since, there are 21 consonants and repetition is allowed so for 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 6th positions 21 choices are available. For 1st and 5th positions, 5 choices are available and for 7th and 8th position there are 10 choices (0 to 9).

Passwords are not case sensitive which means upper case and lower case letters are same.

So, the number of passwords can be =

$5\times21\times21\times21\times5\times21\times10\times10$
