A person places $479 in an investment account earning an annual rate of 8.2%, compounded continuously. Using the formula V = Pe^

{rt}V=Pe rt , where V is the value of the account in t years, P is the principal initially invested, e is the base of a natural logarithm, and r is the rate of interest, determine the amount of money, to the nearest cent, in the account after 12 years.

Answer:

$V = 128139\ cents$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$V = Pe^{rt}$

$P = 479$

$r = 8.2\%$

$t = 12$

Required

Find V

To do this, we simply substitute the values of P, r and t in the above formula:

$V = Pe^{rt}$ becomes

$V = 479 * e^{8.2\% * 12}$

Convert % to decimal

$V = 479 * e^{0.082 * 12}$

$V = 479 * e^{0.984}$

$V = 479 * 2.675135411$

$V = \$1281.38986187$

Convert to cents

$V = 1281.38986187 * 100\ cents$

$V = 128138.986187\ cents$

$V = 128139\ cents$ <em>-- Approximated</em>

Answer:

We know that In 1990, the mean duration of long-distance telephone calls originating in one town was 7.2 minutes. And we want to test if the mean duration of long-distance phone calls has changed from the 1990 mean of 7.2 minutes (alternative hypothesis) and the complement rule would represent the null hypothesis.

The correct system of hypothesis are:

Null hypothesis: $\mu =7.2$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu \neq 7.2$

So then the best option for this case would be:

H0: μ = 7.2 minutes Ha: μ ≠ 7.2 minutes

Two quadratic functions are represented below.

Tpy6a [65]

To determine the maximum value of a quadratic function opening downwards, we are going to find the vertex; then the y-value of the vertex will be our maximum.
To find the vertex (h,k) (where h=x-coordinate and k=y-coordinate) of a quadratic function of the form $f(x)=a x^{2} +bx+c$ we'll use the vertex formula: $h= \frac{-b}{2a}$ , and then we are going to replace that value in our original function to find k.

So, in our function $f(x)=- x^{2} +4x-3$ , $a=-1$ and $b=4$ .
Lets replace those values in our vertex formula:
$h= \frac{-4}{2(-1)}$
$h= \frac{-4}{-2}$
$h=2$

Now that we know the x-coordinate of our vertex, lets replace it in the original function, to get the y-coordinate:
$h=f(2)=-(2^{2} )+4(2)-3$
$h=-4+8-3$
$h=1$

We just prove that the vertex of $f(x)$ is (2,1), and for the graph we can tell that the vertex of $g(x)$ is (-2,4). The only thing left is compare their y-coordinates to determine w<span>hich one has the greater maximum value. Since 4>1, we can conclude that </span> $g(x)$ has the greater maximum.

The graph of the function f(x) = (x – 4)(x + 1) is shown below. Which statement about the function is true? The function is incr

klio [65]

Answer:

The correct option is:

The function is decreasing for all real values of x where x < 1.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a function f(x) which is a product of two linear polynomial as:

$f(x)=(x-4)(x+1)$

Now, we know that on multiplying the two linear polynomial we will obtain a quadratic polynomial.

So, the function f(x) will be represented as:

$f(x)=x(x+1)-4(x+1)\\\\f(x)=x^2+x-4x-4\\\\f(x)=x^2-3x-4$

So, we will plot the graph of the function and check which statements about the function hold true.

1)

The function is increasing for all real values of x where x < 0.

This statement is false.

Since we get from the graph that function f(x) is decreasing for x<0.

2)

The function is increasing for all real values of x where x < –1 and where x > 4.

This option is incorrect as the function is decreasing for x<-1

whereas it is increasing for x>4.

3)

The function is decreasing for all real values of x where –1 < x < 4.

This option is incorrect.

Since, the function is both decreasing as well as increasing in the interval (-1,4).

4)

The function is decreasing for all real values of x where x < 1.5.

This option is correct.

Since it could be observed from the graph that the function is decreasing for x<1.5.
