Answer:

1. 10.7 years

2. 17.0 years

3. 2nd option

Step-by-step explanation:

Use formula for compounded interest

$A=P\cdot \left(1+\dfrac{r}{n}\right)^{nt},$

where

A is final value, P is initial value, r is interest rate (as decimal), n is number of periods and t is number of years.

In your case,

1. P=$5745, A=2P=$11490, n=12 (compounded monthly), r=0.065 (6.5%) and t is unknown. Then

$11490=5745\cdot \left(1+\dfrac{0.065}{12}\right)^{12t},\\ \\2=(1.0054)^{12t},\\ \\12t=\log_{1.0054}2,\\ \\t=\dfrac{1}{12}\log_ {1.0054}2\approx 10.7\ years.$

2. P=$5745, A=3P=$17235, n=12 (compounded monthly), r=0.065 (6.5%) and t is unknown. Then

$17235=5745\cdot \left(1+\dfrac{0.065}{12}\right)^{12t},$

$3=(1.0054)^{12t},$

$12t=\log_{1.0054}3,$

$t=\dfrac{1}{12}\log_{1.0054}3\approx 17.0\ years.$

3. <u>1 choice:</u> P=$5745, n=12 (compounded monthly), r=0.065 (6.5%), t=5 years and A is unknown. Then

$A=5745\cdot \left(1+\dfrac{0.065}{12}\right)^{12\cdot 5},\\ \\A=5745\cdot (1.0054)^{60}\approx \$7936.39.$

<u>2 choice:</u> P=$5745, n=4 (compounded monthly), r=0.0675 (6.75%), t=5 years and A is unknown. Then

$A=5745\cdot \left(1+\dfrac{0.0675}{4}\right)^{4\cdot 5},\\ \\A=5745\cdot (1.0169)^{20}\approx \$8032.58.$

The best will be 2nd option, because $8032.58>$7936.39

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

first you would put the expression in a fraction for

180/460

you already know that the both numbers are divisible by 2

so the answer would be 90/230 but we are still no done because these values are divisible by three

the rule to prove that the number is divisible by three is when you add the digits of the number for example 333. 3+3+3=9 and nine is divisible by nine

THE ANSWER IS:::::::: 90/230
