The total amount accrued, principal plus interest, from simple interest on a principal of $1,500.00 at a rate of 3.5% per year for 30 years is $3,075.00. With a principal of £1,500.00 and an interest rate of 3.5% over a 30-year period, Sarah-Jane will save UK £1,575.00. It is undoubtedly a wise investment because the original UK £1,500 doubled.

What is Simple Interest?

Simple interest is a quick and simple formula for figuring out how much interest will be charged on a loan. The daily interest rate, the principal, and the number of days between payments are multiplied to calculate simple interest.

What is the formula for Simple interest?

A = P(1 + RT)

A=Final Amount

P = Principal

R = Rate of Interest

T = Time period

Here,

A = $3,075.00

I = A - P = $1,575.00

A = P(1 + rt)

First, converting R percent to r a decimal

r = R/100 = 3.5%/100 = 0.035 per year.

Solving our equation:

A = 1500(1 + (0.035 × 30)) = 3075

A = $3,075.00

$3,075.00 is the total amount accrued from simple interest on a principal of $1,500.00 at a rate of 3.5% per year for 30 years (principal plus interest). In a 30-year loan with a £1,500.00 principal and a 3.5% interest rate, Sarah-Jane will save UK £1,575.00. The original UK £1,500 doubled, so it is unquestionably a smart investment.

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

given a quadratic in standard form

y = ax² + bx + c (a ≠ 0 )

• if a > o then curve opens up

• if a < 0 then curve opens down

for y = - 2x² + 4x ← in standard form with a = - 2, b = 4 and c = 0

here a = - 2 < 0 so curve opens down

-------------------------------------------------

the axis of symmetry is a vertical line passing through the vertex

the x- coordinate of the vertex, which is also the equation of the axis of symmetry is

x = - [tex]\frac{b}{2a}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{4}{-4}[/tex] = 1

equation of axis of symmetry is x = 1

substitute x = 1 into the equation for y- coordinate of vertex

y = - 2(1)² + 4(1) = - 2 + 4 = 2

vertex = (1, 2 )

-----------------------------------------------------

to find the zeros let y = o , that is

- 2x² + 4x = 0 ← factor out - 2x from each term

- 2x(x - 2) = 0

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

- 2x = 0 ⇒ x = 0

x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2

the zeros are x = 0 and x = 2

-----------------------------------------------------------

since the graph opens down then it has a maximum value

this is the y- coordinate of the vertex

thus maximum at y = 2

Solve for x and graph the solution on the number line below.

The solution is x ≤ -2 or x ≥ 10.

The inequalities are given in two parts which can be combined to form a single inequality as follows,

13 ≤ -5x + 3 or -47 ≥ -5x + 3

⇒ 13 ≤ -5x + 3 ≤ -47

Let's solve this.

First subtract 3 from all terms,

⇒ 10 ≤ -5x ≤ -50

Divide by 5 on all terms,

⇒ 2 ≤ -x ≤ -10

Multiply with (-1) on all terms, but then the inequality gets reversed as,

⇒ -2 ≥ x ≥ 10

We can now split the inequalities into two to make sense,

x ≤ -2 or x ≥ 10.

This solution can be graphed on a number line by darkening a line on the number line from 10, extended to the right of it. Then darken the line from -2, extend it to the left side.

What is the algebraic expression?

Algebraic expressions are mathematical statements with a minimum of two terms containing variables or numbers.

We have to determine the solution of three-fifths times v plus 3 equals two-fifths times v minus 4.

Translate the phrase into an algebraic expression:

⇒ (3/5)v + 3 = (2/5)v - 4

Rearrange the likewise terms and apply arithmetic operations,

⇒ (3/5)v - (2/5)v  = - 3 - 4

⇒ (1/5)v = - 7

⇒ v =  - 7 × 5

⇒ v = - 35

Therefore, the solution of the expression (3/5)v + 3 = (2/5)v - 4 would be v = - 35.

A family arrives at the Walt Disney world parking lot to get from their car in the parking lot to the gate at the magic kingdom they walk 1/4 mile take a train for 1/3 of their total distance and take a monorail for 1/2 of their total distance how far is it from their car to the gate of magic kingdom

Answers

Answer:   1.5 miles

This is equivalent to 3/2 as an improper fraction and 1 & 1/2 as a mixed number.

==========================================================

Explanation:

x = total distance in miles

The train and monorail take 1/3 and 1/2 of the total distance respectively

Add up those fractions to get

1/3 + 1/2 = 2/6 + 3/6 = 5/6

Remember that you can only add fractions when the denominators are the same.

5/6 of the total distance consists of the train and monorail.

That means the walking portion must be 1 - 5/6 = 6/6 - 5/6 = 1/6 of the total distance.

----------------------------

In short, we found that 1/6 of the total distance consists of walking.

(1/6)x = 1/4 mile

x/6 = 1/4

4x = 6*1

4x = 6

x = 6/4

x = 3/2

x = 1.5 miles is the total distance

---------------------------

Check:

1/6 of x = 1/6 of 3/2 = (1/6)*(3/2) = 3/12 = 1/4 mile walking

1/3 of x = (1/3)*(3/2) = 3/6 = 1/2 mile on the train

1/2 of x = (1/2)*(3/2) = 3/4 of a mile on the monorail

1/4 + 1/2 + 3/4 = 1/4 + 2/4 + 3/4 = 6/4 = 3/2 = 1.5 miles total

This confirms our answer.

sofia and manuel are purchasing a home. they wish to save money for 15 years and purchase a house that has a value of $180,000 with cash. if they deposit money into an account paying 5% interest, compounded monthly, how much do they need to deposit each month in order to make the purchase?

Answers

We will have the following:

We will have that the value at the end will be $180 000.

The number of periods will be 15*12 = 180.

The interest per month is 0.05/12 = 0.0042

Now:

[tex]A=\frac{P((1+i)^n-1)}{i}_{}[/tex]

Here "A" is the value at the end, "P" will be the monthly payments, "i" the monthly interest rate and "n" the number of periods. So:

[tex]180000=\frac{P((1+0.0042)^{180}-1)}{0.0042}\Rightarrow P=\frac{180000\cdot0.0042}{((1+0.0042)^{180}-1)}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow P=671.1819761\ldots\Rightarrow P\approx671.2[/tex]

So, they will need to deposit approximately $671.2 each month.

It is 5 units to the left of zero, so its absolute value is 5, NOT -5 because distance is always positive, no matter the direction.

the population of bacteria in a culture grows at a rate proportional to the number of bacteria present at time t. after 3 hours it is observed that 400 bacteria are present. after 10 hours 2000 bacteria are present. what was the initial number of bacteria?

Answers

The initial number of bacteria in a culture is found as 200.

What is defined as the population growth?When demographers try to forecast changes in population size, they generally focus on four factors: fertility rates, high mortality (life expectancy), and the population's initial age profile.

Using the model P = P₀e^(kt),

Where:

P(t) = the amount of bacteria at time t = 2000.

P₀ = initial amount at time t = 0

r = growth rate

t = time (number of periods)

k is the growth constant.

For t = 3 hours.

400 =P₀e^(k*3)    ......eq 1

2000 = P₀e^(k*10)   ......eq 2

Re writing eq 1.

400 = P₀e^(k*3)

as (400/P₀) = [e^k]^3,

Solve for e^k,

∛(400/P₀) = e^k

For eq 2.

2000 = P₀e^(k*10)

Rewrite it as;

(2000/P) = [e^k]^10.  

Substituting ∛(400/P₀) for e^k, we obtain:              

(2000/P₀) =  (400/P₀ )^(10/3)

Solved for P.  

Raise sides by the power of 3, we get:

(2000/P₀)^3 = (400/P₀)^10.

Therefore,

2000^3/  P₀^3  =  400^10/P₀^10

Solve,

2000^3/ 1 =  400^10/P₀^7

Taking reciprocal.

Solving

P₀^7 = 400^10/2000^3

P₀^7 = 1.31 x 10¹⁶

Take the 7th root of both sides;

P₀ = 200.67

   

Thus, the initial number of bacteria in a culture is found as 200.

the angle between EF ( y- axis) and EH (x- axis) is right

thus the 4 angles in EFGH are right angles meaning the figure is a square.

the sides of a square are congruent , so

GH = FG , that is

3x + 1 = x + 11 ( subtract x from both sides )

2x + 1 = 11 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

2x = 10 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 5

FG = x + 11 = 5 + 11 = 16

Answers

[tex]a=68\: lbs,\: b=90\: lbs[/tex]

1) We can solve this problem by setting up a System of Linear Equations. So, based on this text, we can write out the following equations:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 5.65a+4.35b=775.70 \\ a+b=158 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Note that the first equation relates itself to the total cost, and the second one to the amount of blend.

2) Now, we can solve this system of Linear Equations by the Elimination Method. Let's multiply the second equation by -5.65 so that we can add them both and eliminate "a"

[tex]\begin{gathered} 5.65a+4.35b=775.70 \\ -5.65a-5.65b=-892.7 \\ ---------------- \\ -1.3b=-117 \\ \frac{-1.3b}{-1.3}=\frac{-117}{-1.3} \\ b=90 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Now, we can plug into the second equation b=90 and then solve it for a:

[tex]\begin{gathered} a+b=158 \\ a+90=158 \\ a+90-90=158-90 \\ a=68 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Thus, the answer is:
