Compound Interest Formula: $A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

P = initial investment of 20,000

r = interest rate (What we need to find)

n=number of compounding periods per year (Semiannually means twice per year)

A= Amount after t-years

Okay, let's plug it all in.

41,951 = 20000 (1 + r/2)^2(30)

41,951/20000 = (1 + r/2)^60

(41,951/20000 )^1/60 = 1 + r/2

(41,951/20000 )^1/60 - 1 = r/2

2( (41,951/20000 )^1/60 - 1 ) = r

0.02484539... = r

0.02484 * 100 = 2.48% rounded to the nearest hundredth of a percent

I hope I've helped! :)

1. Simplify. 5–1(3–2)

konstantin123 [22]

Answer with explanation:

Using following law of indices

$1.x^a \times x^b=x^{a+b}\\\\2. (x^m)^n=x^{mn}\\\\ 3. x^{-n}=\frac{1}{x^n}\\\\4. \frac{x^m}{x^n}=x^{m-n}$

$1.5^{-1}\times 3^{-2}=\frac{1}{5}\times\frac{1}{3^2}\\\\=\frac{1}{5\times9}\\\\=\frac{1}{45}\\\\2. \frac{mn^{-4}}{p^0*q^{-2}}=\frac{mq^2}{n^4}\\\\ 3.0.0042=4.2\times 10^3\\\\4.6.12 \times 10^3=6.12 \times 1000=6120\\\\ 5.0.5 \times(8\times10^5})=\frac{1}{2}\times8 \times 10^5=4\times 10^5\\\\6. (9 \times 10^3)^2=9^2 \times (10^3)^2=81 \times 10^6\\\\7.( \frac{1}{2}a^{-4}\times b^2 )_{a=-2,b=4}{\text{or}}( \frac{1}{2}a^{4}\times b^{-2} )_{a=-2,b=4}=\frac{1}{2}\times (-2)^{-4}\times(4)^2{\text{or}}=\frac{1}{2}\times (-2)^{4}\times(4)^{-2}=\frac{16}{2\times16}=\frac{1}{2}$

$9. (4\times x\times y^2)^3\times (xy)^5=4^3\times x^3\times (y^2)^3\times x^5 \times y^5\\\\=64\times x^{3+5}\times y^{5+6}\\\\=64x^8y^{11}\\\\10.(2\times t^3)^3(0.4\times r)^2=2^3 \times (t^3)^3\times (0.4)^2 \times r^2=8\times t^9 \times 0.16 \times r^2=1.28r^2t^9$

8. A number raised to a negative exponent is negative.

Explaining with the help of few examples

$1.2^{-3}=\frac{1}{2^3}=\frac{1}{8}\\\\ 2.(-3)^{-3}=\frac{1}{(-3)^{3}}=\frac{-1}{27}$

Option C: Sometimes

1.Option B

2.Option A

3.Option C

4.Option A

5.Option D

6. $81 \times 10^6$

7.Option B

8.Option C

9.Option A

10.Option $1.28 r^2 \times t^9$

Gnoma [55]

For the answer to the question above, I'll explain my answer through an equation below.
<span>5+10>x,x<15
5+x>10
x>10-5
or x>5
</span>So the answer is either multiple choice letter C. 6 or multiple choice letter D. 11

I hope my answer helped you. Have a nice day!
