Two savings accounts were each opened with a $6,000 deposit. Account A earns compound interest at a 2% annual interest rate comp

ounded yearly. Account B earns simple interest at a 2% annual interest rate. No other deposits or withdrawals are made from the accounts for 3 years.
What is the difference in interest earnings between the two accounts after 3 years?

Account A will earn approximately $360 less in interest than account B.
Account A will earn approximately $7 less in interest than account B.
Account A will earn approximately $360 more in interest than account B.
Account A will earn approximately $7 more in interest than account B.
Both accounts will earn the same amount of interest.

Answer:

Account A will earn approximately $7 more in interest than account B

Step-by-step explanation:

Compound interest formula:

A = P*(1 + r/n)^(n*t)

where:

A is the amount

P is the principal = $6,000

r is the rate (as a decimal) = 0.02

t is time in years = 3

n is the the number of times interest is compounded per unit t = 1

Then:

A = 6000*(1 + 0.02/1)^(1*3) = $6367

Simple interest formula:

A = P*(1 + r*t)

Replacing with data:

A = P*(1 + 0.02*3) = $6360

In a triangle, the largest angle is 3 less than twice the smallest angle. The middle-sized angle is 7 more than the smallest ang

Anton [14]

Largest Angle: 85 Degrees

Middle-Sized Angle: 51 Degrees

Smallest Angle: 44 Degrees

Knowing that all the angles in a triangle add up to a total of 180 degrees and the relation of all angles to one another: you may plug in a value for the smallest angle and use this to calculate the other angle values, add all calculated angle measures and repeat until the value is equal to 180 degrees.

Since all angle measures in this problem are dependent upon the smallest angle measure, you only have to change the value of this variable in order to solve the problem.

Help with this algebra question

choli [55]

If two lines are perpendicular, the slope of one of the lines is the negative reciprocal of the other. Since we know the slope for one of our lines, $2$ m lets find the other:
$m=- \frac{1}{2}$

Now, lets use the point-slope formula to complete the equation of our perpendicular line:
$y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})$
$y-5=- \frac{1}{2} (x-2)$
$y-5=- \frac{1}{2}x+1$
$y=- \frac{1}{2} x+6$

We can conclude that our perpendicular line is $y=- \frac{1}{2} x+6$

Find parametric equations which describe each curve. No particular orientation is required.

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

The equation of the line is $(x(t),y(t))=(1-4t,2+6t)$ and the equation of the circle is $F(t)= (3cos(t)+4,3sin(t)+1)$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Given: The given points are $(1,2)$ and $(-3,8)$ .

To find: The parametric equation of line containing points $(1,2)$ and $(-3,8)$ .

We know that the parametric equation of line containing $(x_{1} ,y_{1} )$ and $(x_{2} ,y_{2} )$ is given by $(x(t),y(t))=(x_{1}+(x_{2}-x_{1})t,y_{1}+(y_{2}-y_{1})t)$ where $t$ ∈ $[0,1]$ .

Now, $x(t)=1+(-3-1)t$

i.e, $x(t)=1-4t$

And, $y(t)=2+(8-2)t$

i.e, $y(t)=2+6t$

Hence, the required parametric equation of the line is $(x(t),y(t))=(1-4t,2+6t)$ .

(b) Given: The radius of circle is 3 and centre is $(4,1)$ .

To find: The parametric equation of circle with radius 3 and centre $(4,1)$ .

We know that parametric equation of circle with radius $r$ and centre $(h,k)$ is given by $F(t)= (x(t),y(t))$ where $x(t)=rcos(t)+h$ and $y(t)=rsin(t)+k$ .

Now, $x(t)=3cos(t)+4$

$y(t)=3sin(t)+1$

So, the parametric equation of circle having radius 3 and centre $(h,k)$ is $F(t)= (3cos(t)+4,3sin(t)+1)$ .

Hence, the required equation of the circle is $F(t)= (3cos(t)+4,3sin(t)+1)$ .

Which of the following is a dilation?

Mademuasel [1]

It’s the second option, (x,y) —> (3x,3y) since you have to multiply each coordinate by a certain number called the scale factor (in this case, it’s 3)

The first option won’t work because the scale factor has to be same for both coordinates. The third option is a translation, and the fourth won’t work either because you have to multiply each coordinate by the same variable.
