max invests $6000 in a savings account for 3 years. the account pays compound interest at a rate of 1.5% per year for the first

2 years. The compound interest rate changes for the third year. At the end of 3 years, there is a total of $6311.16 in the account. Work out the compound interest rate for the third year.

Answer:

2.1%

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that

The formula for compound interest is represented as

A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}

In this context,

A represents the Final Investment Value

P denotes the Principal amount to invest

r indicates the interest rate in decimal form

t denotes the Number of Time Periods

n signifies the frequency of interest compounding per year

In this scenario, we have

For the initial 2 years

t=2\ years\\ P=\$6,000\\ r=1.5\%=1.5/100=0.015\\n=1

Substituting in the equation outlined above

A=6,000(1+\frac{0.015}{1})^{1*2}

A=6,000(1.015)^{2}

A=\$6,181.35

Determine the interest rate for the third year

Given that

t=1\ years\\ P=\$6,181.35\\ r=?\\n=1\\A=\$6,311.16

Input values

6,311.16=6,181.35(1+\frac{r}{1})^{1*1}

6,311.16=6,181.35(1+r)^{1}

6,311.16=6,181.35(1+r)

r=(6,311.16/6,181.35)-1

r=0.021

Convert to percentage

r=0.021*100=2.1\%

Answer:

2.1%

Step-by-step explanation:

The compound interest formula can be expressed as:

A=P(1+I)^n\\\\P-Principal \\A-amount\\i-compound \ interest \ rate

Starting with a Principal amount of $6000 and applying an interest rate of 1.5% for the first two years:

A=P(1+i)^n\\\\A_2=6000(1+0.015)^2\\\\A_2=6181.35

We calculate compound interest A_2 for one year at rate i, resulting in $6311.16:

A=P(1+i)^n, n=1, i=i, P=6181.35, A=6311.16\\\\6311.16=6181.35(1+i)^1\\\\\frac{6311.16}{6181.35}=(1+i)\\\\i=\frac{6311.16}{6181.35}-1\\\\i=0.02100

Thus, the interest rate for the third year is 2.1%

The volume of a packing box is 5 – x cubic feet. The width of the box is x feet and the length is x – 2 feet. The height is give
Zina [9171]
According to the definition, the volume is indicated by
V = h * w * l
where
V: Volume
h: height
w: width
l: length
By solving for height, we get:
h = V / (w * l)
h = (5 - x) / ((x) * (x - 2))
The expression is undefined for x values that cause the denominator to equal zero:
((x) * (x - 2)) = 0
x = 0
x = 2
Answer
h = (5 - x) / ((x) * (x - 2))
x = 0
x = 2

Two parallel lines are crossed by a transversal. Parallel lines x and y are cut by transversal w. On line x where it intersects
AnnZ [9099]

Answer:

118.2°

Step-by-step explanation:

Dos líneas paralelas x e y son cortadas por la transversal w (ver el diagrama adjunto).

Se forman 8 ángulos (denominados 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 y 8).

Los ángulos 1 y 6 son ángulos del mismo lado cuando dos líneas paralelas x e y son cortadas por la transversal w.

Dos ángulos del mismo lado son suplementarios (suman 180°). Esto significa

m\angle 1+m\angle 6=180^{\circ}

Dado m\angle 1=61.8^{\circ}, por lo que

m\angle 6=180^{\circ}-61.8^{\circ}=118.2^{\circ}

The triangle in the diagram represents a mold that Anna uses to shape dough before baking. Anna also has a circular mold whose r
zzz [9080]
To solve the previous problem, we can split the triangle into two right triangles, each having a base of 10 cm and a hypotenuse of 18 cm. The measure of the longer side is necessary to determine the height of the isosceles triangle. By applying the Pythagorean theorem, a² + b² = c², we have a² + (10cm)² = (18cm)², leading to a² = 324 cm² - 100 cm², thus a² = 224 cm². This results in a = √224 cm², which is approximately a = 14.97 cm. The area is then given by A = 1/2 * base * height, or A = 1/2 * 20 cm * 14.97 cm, yielding A = 149.70 cm². Using the formula A = r/2 * p, we derive 149.70 cm² = r/2 * (18cm + 18cm + 20cm), simplifying to 149.70 cm² = r/2 * 56 cm. This results in 149.70 cm² ÷ 56 cm = r/2. Consequently, r/2 equals 2.67 cm, and thus r is 5.34 cm. In conclusion, the final answer is that the radius is approximately 5.35 cm.
