If the interest rate never compounds, then the rate would be 84/600 = 14%

James wants to invest $12,000. He can invest the money at 7.2% simple interest for 30 yr or he can invest at 6.8% with interest

Sever21 [200]

Over time, compound interest at any rate will outperform simple interest. When the rates are nearly equal to start with, compound interest will be greater in very short order. Here, it takes less than 1 year for compound interest to give a larger account balance.

In 30 years, the simple interest will be

... I = P·r·t = 12,000·0.07·30 = 25,200

In 30 years, the compound interest will be

... I = P·(e^(rt) -1) = 12,000·(e^(.068·30) -1) ≈ 80,287.31

_____

6.8% compounded continuously results in more total interest

An animal shelter is feeding 24 dogs. Each dog is fed 8 ounces of dog food twice a day. How many pounds of dog food does the she

Brut [27]

there are 24 dogs, each one gets 8oz of dog food twice a day, so for 1 day only that'd be 16 oz, for 7 days for 1 dog only that'd be 16+16+16+16+16+16+16 oz or 112oz, just for 1 dog alone for 7 days(week).

now, there are 24 dogs, each one gets 112oz every week, 24 * 112 ounces.

Use complete sentences to describe the range of the sine function.

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

The Range of a function is the set of all values that that function can take.

Given the sine function f(x)=sinx,

This function is the function which calculates the sine of the values of x.

According to the definition of the sine of an angle x in the unit circle,

$-1 \leq sinx \leq 1$ ,

so the sine of an angle is always larger or equal to -1, and smaller or equal to 1.

This means that the values that the sine function takes are any values between -1 and 1, inclusive.

This determines the Range of the sine function.

So the Range of the sine function is [-1, 1]
