What is the percent change from 36 to 99?​

Answer:

[tex]a. \;\; \boxed{\$ 530.60}[/tex]

[tex]b.\; \;\boxed{ \$552.45}[/tex]

[tex]c,\;\;\boxed{\$610.60}[/tex]

[tex]d. \;\; \boxed{\$745.91}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

All four cases deal with compound interest on the same amount of $500 and same interest rate of 2%.

The only difference is in the frequency of compounding and time

Compound Interest Formula

[tex]\boxed{A = P\left(1 + \dfrac{r}{n}\right)^{n\cdot t}\\\\}[/tex]

where

In this particular problem we have
P = $500
r = 2% = 0.02

These are common for all parts of the question
Only n an t are different for each of the question sub-parts

Part a

Compounding is done annually (once a year) for 3 years

n = 1
t = 3 years
n · t = 3

[tex]A = 500\left(1 + \dfrac{0.02}{1}\right)^3\\\\A = 500\left(1.02\right)^3\\\\A = 500(1.061208)\\\\A=\boxed{\$ 530.60}[/tex]

For accuracy of calculations, I will not compute and store the exponent part, I will perform the calculations in one shot

Part b

Here the compounding is done quarterly (4 times a year) for 5 years

n = 4
t = 5 years
nt = 4 · 5 = 20

[tex]A = 500\left(1 + \dfrac{0.02}{4}\right)^{20}\\\\\\A = 500(1.005)^{20}\\\\A =\boxed{ \$552.45}[/tex]

Part c

Compounding done monthly(12 times a year) for 10 years

n = 12

t = 10

nt = 120

[tex]A = 500\left(1 + \dfrac{0.02}{12}\right)^{120}\\\\\\A = \boxed{\$610.60}[/tex]

Part d

First let's figure out what continuous compounding means

[tex]\fbox{\begin{minipage}[t]{1\columnwidth \fboxsep - 2\fboxrule}%\textsf{What is continuous compounding?} \\\textsf{Continuous compounding is the mathematicallimit that compound interest can reach if it's calculated and reinvestedinto an account's balance over a theoretically infinite number ofperiods. While this is not possible in practice, the concept of continuouslycompounded interest is important in finance. (Investopedia)}\}%\end{minipage}}[/tex]

The formula for continuous compounding can be determine by using the standard formula for periodic compounding and taking limits as
[tex]n \rightarrow \infty[/tex]

Therefore, for compounding continuously , the formula can be derived from
[tex]\lim _{n\to \infty } P\left(1 + \dfrac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}\\\\[/tex]

One of the limit formulas states

[tex]\lim _{x\to \infty } \left(1 + \dfrac{a}{x}\right)^{x} = e^a\\\\[/tex]

Therefore
[tex]\lim _{n\to \infty } \left(1 + \dfrac{r}{n}\right)^{n} = e^r\\\\[/tex]

So for the continuous compounding case, the formula is
[tex]\boxed{A = P \cdot e^{rt}}[/tex]

Here we have
r = 0.02
t = 20 years
rt = 20(0.02) = 0.4

Plugging in P = 500, and rt = 0.4 we get
[tex]A = 500 \cdot e^{0.4}\\\\A = \boxed{\$745.91}[/tex]

Answer:

a) $530.60

b) $552.45

c) $610.60

d) $745.91

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\boxed{\begin{minipage}{8.5 cm}\underline{Compound Interest Formula}\\\\$ A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}$\\\\where:\\\\ \phantom{ww}$\bullet$ $A =$ final amount \\ \phantom{ww}$\bullet$ $P =$ principal amount \\ \phantom{ww}$\bullet$ $r =$ interest rate (in decimal form) \\ \phantom{ww}$\bullet$ $n =$ number of times interest is applied per year \\ \phantom{ww}$\bullet$ $t =$ time (in years) \\ \end{minipage}}[/tex]

Given:

Substitute the given values into the continuous compounding interest formula and solve for A:

[tex]\implies A=500e^{0.02 \cdot 20}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

If a pizza feeds 3 kids and you need to feed 6 kids, the scale factor for calculating how many pizzas you need would be 2.

A scale factor is used to determine the relationship between the size of an object and a similar or corresponding object. In this case, you have a pizza that can feed 3 kids and you need to feed 6 kids, so the relationship between the number of kids that can be fed by one pizza and the number of kids you need to feed is 6/3 = 2

So, you need to double the quantity of pizza to feed 6 kids, therefore the scale factor would be 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complex fifth roots of 3 are Z₀ = ∛3 (cos 0° + i sin 0°), Z₁ = ∛3 (cos 72° + i sin 72°), Z₂ = ∛3 (cos 144° + i sin 144°), Z₃ = ∛3 (cos 216° + i sin 216°) and Z₄ = ∛3 (cos 288° + i sin 288°)

The complex fifth roots of 3 can be found by finding the roots of the equation z^5 = 3. To find the roots in polar form, we first convert 3 to polar form:

3 = |3| (cos 0 + i sin 0) = 3 (cos 0 + i sin 0)

Next, we find the argument of the fifth roots, which is equal to 360°/5 = 72°. The polar form of the first root is then:

z₁ = ∛3 (cos 0° + i sin 0°) = ∛3 (cos 0° + i sin 0°)

The polar form of the other roots can be found by rotating the argument by 72°, 144°, 216°, and 288° respectively. The result is:

z₂ = ∛3 (cos 72° + i sin 72°)

z₃ = ∛3 (cos 144° + i sin 144°)

z₄ = ∛3 (cos 216° + i sin 216°)

z₅ = ∛3 (cos 288° + i sin 288°)

The formula for g(x) is 2√(x-6) + 1. The solution has been obtained using the concept of translation.

What is translation?

In mathematics, a translation involves moving a shape up, down, left, or right. The translated shapes appear to be exactly the same size as the original ones; thus, the shapes are consistent with one another. Just one or more directions have been changed. There is no change to the shape because it is simply being moved from one location to another.

The object's shift in location can occur in a variety of ways, such as initially moving left, then turning right, and so on. Each point on the form will translate by the same number of units.

We are given f(x) = 2√x

Now, shifted down 1 unit, we get

2√x + 1

Also, shifted right 6 units, we get

2√(x-6)

So, g(x) = 2√(x-6) + 1

Hence, the formula for g(x) is 2√(x-6) + 1.

The complex number statement (3+8i)/(2+8i)=3/2 is false. The correct complex number statement is (3+8i)/(2+8i) = (24i + 6)/(-64i² + 16).

What is a complex number?

Complex numbers are those that are expressed as a+ib, where a and b are actual numbers and i is a imaginary number called a "iota."

The given complex number equation is (3+8i)/(2+8i)=3/2

Simplify both sides of the equation.

On the left side, there is -

= (3+8i)/(2+8i)

= (3+8i)/(2+8i) × (2-8i)/(2-8i)

= (6+24i-24i-64i²)/(2² + 2×8i-8i²)

= (-64i² + 24i + 6)/(-64i² + 16)

= (24i + 6)/(-64i² + 16)

On the right side, there is -

3/2 = 3/2

It can be seen that the simplified forms of both sides are not equal, so the original statement is false.

To make the statement true, change the right side of the equation to the left side simplified form.

The estimated area under the curve is 112.

We can use the left rectangle method to approximate the area under the curve f(x) = (2x)^2 + 6 from x = 2 to x = 4.

First, we need to choose a value of Δx = 0.5, which will determine the width of the rectangles. Then, we can find the height of each rectangle by evaluating the function at the left endpoints of the intervals.

For x = 2, the height of the first rectangle is f(2) = (2 * 2)^2 + 6 = 20.

For x = 2.5, the height of the second rectangle is f(2.5) = (2 * 2.5)^2 + 6 = 28.25.

For x = 3, the height of the third rectangle is f(3) = (2 * 3)^2 + 6 = 42.

For x = 3.5, the height of the fourth rectangle is f(3.5) = (2 * 3.5)^2 + 6 = 57.75.

For x = 4, the height of the fifth rectangle is f(4) = (2 * 4)^2 + 6 = 76.

Finally, we can multiply the height of each rectangle by its width (0.5) to find the area of each rectangle:

Area of first rectangle = 20 * 0.5 = 10

Area of second rectangle = 28.25 * 0.5 = 14.125

Area of third rectangle = 42 * 0.5 = 21

Area of fourth rectangle = 57.75 * 0.5 = 28.875

Area of fifth rectangle = 76 * 0.5 = 38

The total area under the curve can be estimated by adding up the areas of the rectangles:

Estimated area = 10 + 14.125 + 21 + 28.875 + 38 = 112

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of calories Davis burns while running for 30 minutes, we can use the information that he burns 1080 calories running for 2.5 hours.

We know that 30 minutes is 1/120 of 2.5 hours. So, we can divide the total number of calories by 120 and we get the calorie burn for 30 minutes:

1080 calories / 120 = 9 calories

The number of calories Davis burns while swimming for 30 minutes can be determined by using the equation y = 266x, where x represents the number of hours he swims. We know that he swims for 30 minutes, or 1/120 hours, so we can plug that value into the equation:

y = 266(1/120) = 2.216 calories

So, Davis burns 7 calories more running for 30 minutes than swimming for 30 minutes, assuming the rates remain constant.
