Gareth has $2,000 to invest. Putting the money in a savings account at his local bank will earn him 2.2% annual interest and giv

es him the ability to make ATM withdrawals from that bank’s ATMs. Putting the money in an online savings account will earn him 4.85% annual interest, but he will be charged $3 every time he makes an ATM withdrawal. Assuming that Gareth’s ATM withdrawals do not affect the amount of interest he earns, roughly how many ATM withdrawals must Gareth make every year for the local savings account to be a better deal than the online savings account?

Answer:

Gareth should make 18 ATM withdrawals every year for better deal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Gareth has $2,000 to invest and local bank will earn him 2.2% annual interest.

The amount earned by local bank is: $\$2000\times \frac{2.2}{100}=\$44$

The money in an online savings account will earn him 4.85% annual interest, but he will be charged $3 every time he makes an ATM withdrawal.

The amount earned by online account $\$2000\times \frac{4.85}{100}=\$97$

Savings account has no ATM withdrawal charges but online savings account charge $3.00 per withdrawal.

Let x is the number of times he withdrawal money.

$97-3x=44\\3x=53\\x=17.67\approx 18$

Hence, Gareth should make 18 ATM withdrawals every year for better deal.

Gareth has $2,000 to invest. Putting the money in a savings account at his local bank will earn him 2.2% annual interest.

Interest earned in local bank = 2000 * 22.2% = 2000 * 0.022 = 44

Putting the money in an online savings account will earn him 4.85% annual interest

Interest earned in online account = 2000 * 4.85% = 2000 * 0.0485 = 97

He will be charged $3 every time he makes an ATM withdrawal.

In online account, the interest is 97 . If he withdraws 18 times then

Total ATM fee is 18 * 3= 54 . so 97 - 54 = 43

43 is lower than 44 that is interest of local account.

Therefore, 18 ATM withdrawals make local savings account to be a better deal than the online savings account every year.

No. The new area is 2.25 times the original area. That's (1.5 times 1.5).

QUICK! 75 POINTS !!Select all that are part of the solution set of csc(x) > 1 and over 0 ≤ x ≤ 2π.

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

$\frac{\pi}{4}$

$\frac{5\pi}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer uses the unit circle and that sine and cosecant are reciprocals.

The first choice doesn't even fit the criteria that $x$ is between $0$ and $2\pi$ (inclusive of both endpoints) because of the $x=\frac{-7\pi}{6}$ .

Let's check the second choice.

$\csc(\frac{\pi}{4})=\frac{2}{\sqrt{2}} \text{ since } \sin(\frac{\pi}{4})=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ .

$\csc(\frac{\pi}{4})>1 \text{ since } \frac{2}{\sqrt{2}}>1$

$\csc(\frac{\pi}{2})=1 \text{ since } \sin(\frac{\pi}{2})=1$ which means $\csc(\frac{\pi}{2})=1$ which is not greater than 1.

So we can eliminate second choice.

Let's look at the third.

$\csc(\frac{5\pi}{6})=2 \text{ since } \sin(\frac{5\pi}{6})=\frac{1}{2}$ which means $\csc(\frac{5\pi}{6})>1$ .

$\csc(\pi)$ isn't defined because $\sin(\pi)=0$ .

So we are eliminating 3rd choice now.

Let's look at the fourth choice.

$\csc(\frac{7\pi}{6})=-2 \text{ since } \sin(\frac{7\pi}{6})=\frac{-1}{2}$ which means $\csc(\frac{7\pi}{6})$ and not greater than 1.

I was looking at the rows as if they were choices.

Let me break up my choices.

So we said $x=-\frac{7\pi}{6}$ doesn't work because it is not included in the inequality $0\le x \le 2\pi$ .

How about $x=0$ ? This leads to $\csc(0)$ which doesn't exist because $\sin(0)=0$ .

So neither of the first two choices on the first row.

Let's look at the second row again.

We said $\frac{\pi}{4}$ worked but not $\frac{\pi}{2}$

Let's look at the choices on the third row.

We said $\frac{5\pi}{6}$ worked but not $x=\pi$

Let's look at at the last choice.

We said it gave something less than 1 so this choice doesn't work.

Surface-finish defects in a small electric appliance occur at random with a mean rate of 0.3 defects per unit. find the probabil

mario62 [17]

Answer: Probability that a randomly selected unit will contain at least two surface- finish defect is 0.04.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Mean rate defects per unit = 0.3

Since we will use "Poisson distribution":

$P(X=K)=\frac{e^{-\lambda}\lambda^k}{k!}$

But we need to find the probability that a randomly selected unit will contain at least two surface-finish defect.

$P(X\geq 2)=1+P(X=0)+P(X=1)$

So,

$P(X=0)=\frac{e^{-0.3}0.3^0}{0!}=e^{-0.3}=0.74\\\\P(X=1)=\frac{e^{-0.3}\times 0.3}{1}=0.22$

so, it becomes,

$P(X>2)=1-(0.74+0.22)=1-0.96=0.04$

Hence, probability that a randomly selected unit will contain at least two surface- finish defect is 0.04.

The outside temperature at midnight today in Polina's hometown was 18 degrees Fahrenheit. The temperature increases by 1.2 degre

densk [106]

Answer:

only students who have recess at 12 p.m. or later may go out

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the time after midnight be represented by t, and the temperature be y. Since the temperature increases by 1.2 degrees Fahrenheit each hour, the time taken to reach 32 degrees Fahrenheit can be gotten from:

y = 1.2t + 18

put y = 32

32 = 1.2t + 18

1.2t = 14

t = 14/1.2 = 11.67 hours

Since the recess starts at half hour or hour, hence the recess would start at t = 12 hours, i.e. at 12 p.m.

Hence only students who have recess at 12 p.m. or later may go out
