Answer:
What is the question?
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer to this question is 2.
Answer:
a) 13913
b) 4913.82
Step-by-step explanation:
The compound interest formula is given by:

Where A(t) is the amount of money after t years, P is the principal(the initial sum of money), r is the interest rate(as a decimal value), n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year and t is the time in years for which the money is invested or borrowed.
In this question:
Investment of 9000, so 
Interest rate of 8%, so 
Compounded quarterly, so 
5 years and 6 months, that is, 5 years and half, so 
(a) How much would the value of her savings at the end of the term?


(b) How much is the interest earned by your savings?
The amount subtracted by the principal. So
13913.82 - 9000 = 4913.82


We have critical points whenever both partial derivatives vanish:



The Hessian is


At (0,0), we have

, so (0,0) is a saddle point.
At (-1, -1), we have

and

, so (-1, -1) is a local minimum.
At (1, 1), we have

and

, so (1, 1) is also a local minimum.
Answer:
I dont know if this is supposed to be solved a certain way for a class, but as a bargain shopper, this is what I would do to figure out the best value.
Step-by-step explanation:
First divide $10 by 4: 10.00/4=2.5 or $2.50 per card
Then, divide $14 by 6: 14.00/6=2.3333333 so about $2.33 per card
Now, just look at the two answers and see which one is less.
If you buy 4 cards for $10, you will pay $2.50 for each card and if you buy 6 cards for $14, you will pay about $2.33 for each card. Therefore, the better value would be the 6 cards for $14.
