Answer:

70.1 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The cosine relation gives the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse for an acute angle in a right triangle:

Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

cos(37°) = SQ/QR

Rearranging gives ...

QR = SQ/cos(37°) = (56 ft)/0.798636 = 70.1 ft

The length of QR is about 70.1 ft.

Answer: 288, 576, 1152

Step-by-step explanation: What you do here is that you multiply every number by two. You start by doing 18 times 2, which equals 36. Then you do 36 times 2, which equals 72. You keep on doing this until you get the answers needed.

Hope this helped!! :)

When the effective interest rate is 9% per annum, what is the present value of a series of 50 annual payments that start at $100

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

$1,109.62

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first compute the future value FV.

In order to see the rule of formation, let's see the value (in $) for the first few years

End of year 0

1,000

End of year 1(capital + interest + new deposit)

1,000*(1.09)+10

End of year 2 (capital + interest + new deposit)

(1,000*(1.09)+10)*1.09 +10 =

$\bf 1,000*(1.09)^2+10(1+1.09)$

End of year 3 (capital + interest + new deposit)

$\bf (1,000*(1.09)^2+10(1+1.09))(1.09)+10=\\1,000*(1.09)^3+10(1+1.09+1.09^2)$

and we can see that at the end of year 50, the future value is

$\bf FV=1,000*(1.09)^{50}+10(1+1.09+(1.09)^2+...+(1.09)^{49}$

The sum

$\bf 1+1.09+(1.09)^2+...+(1.09)^{49}$

is the sum of a geometric sequence with common ratio 1.09 and is equal to

$\bf \frac{(1.09)^{50}-1}{1.09-1}=815.08356$

and the future value is then

$\bf FV=1,000*(1.09)^{50}+10*815.08356=82,508.35564$

The present value PV is

$\bf PV=\frac{FV}{(1.09)^{50}}=\frac{82508.35564}{74.35572}=1,109.616829\approx \$1,109.62$

rounded to the nearest hundredth.
