A student desired to invest $1,540 into an investment at 9% compounded semiannually for 6 years. With all else equal, what is th

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

The future value of this initial investment after the six year period is $2611.6552

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

A student desired to invest $1,540 into an investment at 9% compounded semiannually for 6 years.

Future value of an investment: $FV=P(1+r)^n$

Where Fv is the future value, p is the present value, r is the rate and n is the number of compounding periods.

9% compounded semiannually for 6 years.

Therefore, the value of r is: $r=\frac{0.09}{2}=0.045$

Number of periods are: 2 × 6 = 12

Now substitute the respective values in the above formula.

$FV=1540(1+0.045)^{12}$

$FV=1540(1.045)^{12}$

$FV=1540(1.69588)$

$FV=2611.6552$

Hence, the future value of this initial investment after the six year period is $2611.6552

Please help and explain with these 2 math questions!!!!!!

Volgvan

1) -10x+y=4

Now, you should substitute x in every situation.

* x=-2 => -10*(-2)+y=4... 20+y=4... y=-16

* x=-1 =>-10*(-1)+y=4... 10+y=4... y=-6

*x=0 => -10*0+y=4... y=4

* x=1 => -10*1+y=4... -10+y=4... y=14

* x=2 => -10*2+y=4... -20+y=4... y=24

2) -5x-1=y

For example: x=0

-5*0-1=-1

The measures of the angles of a triangle are ∠A = (2x)°, ∠B = (x+14)°, ∠C = (x−38)° Determine the value of x. Determine A B and

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Measures of angles are,

m∠A = (2x)°

m∠B = (x + 14)°

m∠C = (x - 38)°

By triangle sum theorem,

m∠A + m∠B + m∠C = 180°

2x + (x + 14) + (x - 38) = 180

(2x + x + x) + (14 - 38) = 180

4x - 24 = 180

4x = 204

x = 51

m∠A = 2(51)° = 102°

m∠B = (51 + 14)° = 65°

m∠C = (51 - 38)° = 13°
