Answer:

(a) $254.08

(b) $767.34

(c) $12,449.36

Step-by-step explanation:

These questions are best answered by a financial calculator or app. Such are available for your phone or tablet. A spreadsheet also has built-in functions for making these calculations.

(a) FV = $40,000, i = 8% per year, n = 9 years (108 months), compounding 12 times per year. The monthly deposit needs to be $254.08.

__

(b) Payment = $254.08, n = 3 months, i = 8%/year, compounding 12 times per year. FV = $767.34.

__

(c) The sum of 108 payments of $254.08 is ...

108 × $254.08 = $27,440.64

The interest earned is enough to bring the account value to $40,000, so is ...

$40,000 -27,440.64 = $12,559.36

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The amount $254.08 is rounded down to the nearest cent, so the balance after 9 years will be $39,999.70, which is $0.30 short of $40,000. We used $40,000 as the final account balance, so overestimated the interest by $0.30.

There may be additional small changes in the values if you round interest to the nearest cent each month the way a financial institution would. It is hard to tell in these problems how accurate you're intended to be in your calculations.

OAA', OBB', and OCC' are straight lines. Triangle ABC is mapped onto Triangle A'B'C' by an enlargement with center O. What is th

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

(D) 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor of the enlargement of ΔABC to ΔA'B'C' is given by the ratio of the length of the corresponding sides of ΔA'B'C' and ΔABC

Therefore, we have;

$The \ scale \ factor = \dfrac{Length \ of \overline {B'C'}}{Length \ of \overline {BC}} = \dfrac{Length \ of \overline {A'C'}}{Length \ of \overline {AC}} = \dfrac{Length \ of \overline {A'B'}}{Length \ of \overline {AB}}$
