The initial amount is placed into an account paying 7.8% compounded annually, and the tuition is drawn from the account until the remaining balance is zero dollars. Determine the initial amount invested by the NSF. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

Answer:

The answer is option b.  $31,606

Step-by-step explanation:

The NSF will pay $9,500 per year towards tuition for 4 years.

So, p = 9500

r = 7.8% or 0.078

t = 4

We can find the initial amount invested by:

p(\frac{1-(1+r)^{-t} }{r})

Putting values in the formula we get

9500(\frac{1-(1.078)^{-4} }{0.078} )

9500(\frac{1-0.74050}{0.078} )

= $31605.769

Rounding this to nearest whole number, we get $31606.

So, option B is the correct answer.

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

0.5%/year

24.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

Estimate the average yearly increase in the percentage of first-year college females claiming no religious affiliation

Percentage of females by year:

1980 = 6.2%

1990 = 10.8%

2000 = 13.6%

2012 = 21.7%

Average yearly increase :

Percentage increase between 1980 - 2012 :

2012% - 1980% = ( 21.7% - 6.2%) = 15.5% increase over [(2012 - 1980)] = 32 years

15.5 % / 32 years = 0.484375% / year = 0.5%/year

b. Estimate the percentage of first-year college females who will claim no religious affiliation in 2030,

Given an average increase of 0.484375% / year

(2030 - 1980) = 50 years

Hence by 2030 ; ( 50 years × 0.484375%/year) = 24.218% will claim no religious affiliation.

=24.2% (nearest tenth)

If you know that a < b, and both a and b are positive numbers, then what must be true about the relationship between the oppo
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

The number further left on a number line is the smaller number. For positive numbers, the number closest to zero is smaller. For negative numbers, the number closest to zero is larger. If a is less than b, and they are both positive, then a is closer to 0 than b. The opposite of a is also closer to zero than the opposite of b, so the opposite of a must be larger than the opposite of b.
