Determine Which Is The Better Investment 3.99% Compounded Semi Annually Lee 3.8% Compounded Quarterly

Answers

Answer 1

Remember that

The compound interest formula is equal to

[tex]A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]

In the 3.99% compounded semiannually

we have

r=3.99%=0.0399

n=2

substitute

[tex]\begin{gathered} A=P(1+\frac{0.0399}{2})^{2t} \\ \\ A=P(1.01995)^{2t} \end{gathered}[/tex]

and

[tex]\begin{gathered} A=P[(1.01995)^2]^t \\ A=P(1.0403)^t \end{gathered}[/tex]

the rate is r=1.0403-1=0.0403=4.03%

In the 3.8% compounded quarterly

we have

r=3.8%=0.038

n=4

substitute

[tex]\begin{gathered} A=P(1+\frac{0.038}{4})^{2t} \\ A=P(1.0095)^{2t} \\ A=P[(1.0095)^2]^t \\ A=P(1.0191)^t \end{gathered}[/tex]

the rate is r=1.0191-1=0.0191=1.91%

therefore

the 3.99% compounded semiannually is a better investment

[tex]\begin{gathered} 3(b+5)=4(2b-5) \\ 3b+15=8b-20 \\ 15+20=8b-3b \\ 5b=35 \\ b=\frac{35}{5} \\ b=7 \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]3(b+5)=4(2b-5)[/tex]

by the distributive law x(y+z)=zy+xz, we have

[tex]\begin{gathered} 3b+3(5)=4(2b)-4(5) \\ 3b+15=8b-20 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Then we use the properties of inequalities, we can switch both sides, and if we add or multiply something on both sides the equality remains

[tex]\begin{gathered} 3b+15=8b-20 \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]

we want the variables and the numbers without variables to be in different side, so, first we add 20 to both sides, note that the -20 will be cancelled

[tex]\begin{gathered} 3b+15+20\text{ = 8b-20+20} \\ 3b+15+20=8b \end{gathered}[/tex]

we want to left all the numbers with variable on the right side so we substract 3b (add -3b) to both sides. Same as before, the 3b will be cancellated (we can change the order in the sum)

[tex]\begin{gathered} -3b+3b+15+20=-3b+8b \\ 15+20=8b-3b \end{gathered}[/tex]

I was asking if you have understood my explanation so far

it doesn't matter the order, in fact, when you get used to the method you can work with both at the same time

any other question?

yes, you could substrac 3b first

sadly I will need to leave since my shift is over, but if you ask another question one of my partners will help you

Have a nice evening!!!!

then we add like terms and switch both sides

[tex]5b=35[/tex]

And then we multiply by 1/5 both sides

A box has 14 candies in it: 3 are taffy, 7 are butterscotch, and 4 are caramel. Juan wants to select two candies to eat for dessert. The first candy will be selectedat random, and then the second candy will be selected at random from the remaining candies. What is the probability that the two candies selected are taffy?Do not round your intermediate computations. Round your final answer to three decimal places.

Answers

Okay, here we have this:

Considering the provided information we are going to calculate what is the probability that the two candies selected are taffy. So, for this, first we are going to calculate the probability that the first is taffy, and then the probability that the second is taffy. Finally we will multiply these two probabilities to find the total probability.

Remember that the simple probability of an event is equal to favorable events, over possible events.

First is taffy:

At the beginning there are 14 sweets, and 3 are taffy, so there are 3 favorable events and 14 possible, then:

First is taffy=3/14

Second is taffy:

Now, in the bag there are 13 sweets left, and of those 2 are taffy, so now there are 2 favorable events out of 13 possible:

Second is taffy=2/13

The first and second are taffy:

First is taffy*Second is taffy=3/14*2/13

First is taffy*Second is taffy=3/91

First is taffy*Second is taffy=0.033

First is taffy*Second is taffy=3.3%

Finally we obtain that the probability that the two candies selected are taffy is aproximately 0.033 or 3.3%.

compare these numbers with a1+ib1 and a2+ib2, we get

a1 = 9, a2 = -7 , b1 = 7 and b2 = 7.

Mid point of complex numbers = a1 + a2 /2 + (b1 + b2 /2)i

The length of the original square must be equal to 3 inches.

Length of the Original Square

To find the length of the original square, we have to first assume the unknown length is equal x and then use formula of area of a square to determine it's length.

Since the new length is stretched by 5in, the new length would be.

[tex]l = (x + 5)in[/tex]

The area of a square is given as

[tex]A = l^2[/tex]

But the area is equal 64 squared inches; let's use substitute the value of l into the equation above.

[tex]A = l^2\\l = x + 5\\A = 64\\64 = (x+5)^2\\64 = x^2 + 10x + 25\\x^2 + 10x - 39 = 0\\[/tex]

Solving the quadratic equation above;

[tex]x^2 + 10x - 39 = 0\\x = 3 or x = -13[/tex]

Taking the positive root only, x = 3.

According to the Florida Agency for Workforce, the monthly average number of unemployment claims in a certain county is given by () = 22.16^2 − 238.5 + 2005, where t is the number of years after 1990. a) During what years did the number of claims decrease? b) Find the relative extrema and interpret it.

Answers

SOLUTION

(a) Now from the question, we want to find during what years the number of claims decrease. Let us make the graph of the function to help us answer this

[tex]N(t)=22.16^2-238.5t+2005[/tex]

We have

From the graph above, we can see that the function decreased at between x = 0 to x = 5.381

Hence the number of claims decreased between 1990 to 1995, that is 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994 and 1995

Note that 1990 was taken as zero

(b) The relative extrema from the graph is at 5.381, which represents 1995.

Hence the interpretation is that it is at 1995 that the minimum number of claims is approximately 1363.

Note that 1363 is approximately the y-value 1363.278

⇒ T₀ = 2 - 5(0) = 2 - 0 = 2

Substitute the value of n = 1 in the expression (2 - 5n) to get T₁

⇒ T₁ = 2 - 5(1)  = 2 -5 = -3

Gloria's teacher asks her to draw a triangle with a 90° angle and a 42° angle.How many unique triangles can Gloria draw that meet her teacher's requirements?AOne unique triangle can be drawn because the third angle must measure 48º.BNo unique triangle can be drawn because the teacher only gave the measures of two angles.СInfinitely many unique triangles can be drawn because the side lengths of the triangles can be different sizes.DThere is not enough information to determine how many unique triangles can be drawn.

SOLUTION

Sum of angles in a triangle must be equal to 180°

So, since one of the angle measures 90° and the other is 42°, then

90 + 42 + y = 180°, where y is the third angle

So, 132 + y = 180

y = 180 - 132 = 48°.

Therefore, one unique triangle can be drawn because the third angle must measure 48º.

Option A is the correct answer.

Find the sum of the first nine terms of the geometric series 1 – 3 + 9 - 27+....

Answers

Hello there. To solve this question, we'll have to remember some properties about geometric series.

Given that we want the sum of

[tex]1-3+9-27...[/tex]

First, we find the general term of this series:

Notice they are all powers of 3, namely

[tex]\begin{gathered} 1=3^0 \\ 3=3^1 \\ 9=3^2 \\ 27=3^3 \\ \vdots \end{gathered}[/tex]

But this is an alternating series, hence the general term is given by:

[tex]a_n=\left(-3\right)^{n-1}[/tex]

Since we just want the sum of the first 9 terms of this geometric series, we apply the formula:

[tex]S_n=\frac{a_1\cdot\left(1-q^n\right?}{1-q}[/tex]

Where q is the ratio between two consecutive terms of the series.

We find q as follows:

[tex]q=\frac{a_2}{a_1}=\frac{\left(-3\right)^{2-1}}{\left(-3\right)^{1-1}}=\frac{-3}{1}=-3[/tex]

Then we plug n = 9 in the formula, such that:

[tex]S_9=\frac{1\cdot\left(1-\left(-3\right)^9\right?}{1-\left(-3\right)}=\frac{1-\left(-19683\right)}{1+3}=\frac{19684}{4}[/tex]

Simplify the fraction by a factor of 4

[tex]S_9=4921[/tex]

This is the sum of the nine first terms of this geometric series and it is the answer contained in the second option.
