Your family's new business is finally starting to get on track. You started with an investment of $20,000, but lost 10% the first year, 6% the second year, and 3$ the third year. During the fourth year, however, you gained 5%

(A) How much money did you have after the first three years?

(B) What was the cumulative decay factor after the first three years?

(C) What was the cumulative factor after the first four years? Does this factor represent decay or growth?

(D) What percent increase do you need to get during the fifth year to break even (end up with $20,000)?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A)

$16412.40.

B)

Our culminate decay factor was 0.82062.

C)

0.861651. It represents decay because it's less than one.

D)

We need at least a 16.1% increase.

Step-by-step explanation:

We started off with $20,000. In the first year, we lost 10%. In the second year, we lost an additional 6%, and another 3% in the third year. During the fourth year, however, we regained 5%.

Part A)

In the first year, we lost 10% of our original investment. In other words, we will have left 100% - 10% or 90% of our original investment. So, after the first year, we will have:

[tex]20000(0.9)=\$ 18000[/tex]

During the second year, we lost another 6%. So, it will be 100% - 6% = 94% = 0.94 of our current investment. So, after the second year, we will have:

[tex]18000(0.94)=\$ 16920[/tex]

Finally, during the third year, we lost 3%. So, it will be 100% - 3% = 0.97 of our current investment:

[tex]16920(0.97)=\$ 16412.4[/tex]

After the first three years, our investment dwindled down to $16412.40.

Part B)

We started off with $20,000 and ended up with $16412.40. Let r represent the decay factor. We can write the following equation:

[tex]20000d=16412.4[/tex]

This reads, "our original investment of $20,000 by multiplied by some (decay) factor equals our current investment of $16412.4."

Solve for d:

[tex]\displaystyle d=\frac{16412.4}{20000}=0.82062[/tex]

So, our decay factor is 0.82062.

(Note: This means that our rate of decay was 1 - 0.82062 = 0.17938. So, we lost approximately 18% of our investment over the course of the three years.)

Part C)

After the third year, our investment was $16412.40.

During the fourth year, we gained 5% on our investment. So, it will be 100% + 5% = 105% = 1.05 of our current investment:

[tex]16412.4(1.05)=\$ 17233.02[/tex]

Again, we can write an equation:

[tex]20000d=17233.02[/tex]

Where d represents the culminative factor after four years.

Solving for d yields:

[tex]d=0.861651[/tex]

Since the culminative factor is less than one, this is decay.

Decay is also correct contextually, since after four years, our current investment is lower than our original investment.

Part D)

After the fourth year, we have $17233.02.

In order to find the percent increase to rereach $20,000, we can write an equation:

[tex]17233.02d=20000[/tex]

Solving for d yields:

[tex]\displaystyle d\approx 1.1606[/tex]

So, the growth factor is about 1.1606.

This means that during the fifth year, we will need to grow by 1 - 1.1606 or about 16.1% in order to rereach our original investment of $20,000.

Answer:

  4, -1

Step-by-step explanation:

We can let x and y represent the two numbers. The first relation is ...

  2x + 4y = 4

The second relation is ...

  x - y = 5

Subtracting the second relation from half the first gives ...

  1/2(2x +4y) -(x -y) = 1/2(4) -(5)

  3y = -3

  y = -1

From the second relation, ...

  x = 5 +y = 5 -1 = 4

The two numbers are 4 and -1.

rani finishes painting her room at 4:17 p.m. She painted for 42 minutes​

Answers

Answer:

Uh this question Im not sure what you're asking, but if it's when it started, than the answer is 3:35

Step-by-step explanation:

Rani started painting her room at 3:35 p.m. (or 15:35 in 24-hour format).

To determine the time at which Rani started painting her room, we can subtract the duration of time she painted (42 minutes) from the time she finished (4:17 p.m.).

1. Convert the time to a consistent format: Since Rani finished painting at 4:17 p.m., we can represent this as 16:17 in 24-hour format.

2. Subtract the duration of time: Subtracting 42 minutes from 16:17 gives us 15:35.

In a simple manner:

First, we convert the time to a 24-hour format for easier calculation.

4:17 p.m. is equivalent to 16:17 in the 24-hour format.

Now, we subtract 42 minutes from 16:17:

16:17 - 42 minutes = 15:35

Therefore, Rani started painting at 3:35 p.m.

write the quadratic formula y=x^2-6x+7 in vertex form.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Start like this: x^2 - 6x = -7. Now you have the x terms on one side and the constant on the other. Take half the linear term (-6x) which is 3 and then square that (9) and add it to both sides, giving you x^2 - 6x + 9 = -7+ 9, or x^2 - 6x + 9 = 2. Now make the left side into the perfect square binomial you created by completing the square: (x-3)^2 = 2, and then move the 2 over to get: (x-3)^2 - 2. That's the vertex form for a parabola with a vertex at (3, -2)

tan0 + 1=0
write your answer in radians in terms of pi

Answers

Answer:

Our range is within [0,2π]

We cant exceed that.

tan∆ + 1=0

tan∆= -1

∆=tan-¹(-1)

∆=-45°

Now it has 3 Solutions within the given interval

-45° x π/180 = -π/4

So For the second quadrant... 180-∆ = 180-45 =135°

It is true for tan(135) Which is also equal to -1

135xπ/180 = 3π/4

then

360-45 = 315

This is also true because tan(315)=-1

315° x π/180 = 7π/4

This is where we stop so we dont exceed the given range.

What quantity of 75 per cent acid solution must be mixed with a 30 per cent solution to produce 1080 mL of a 50 per cent solution?

Answers

Answer: 480 mL, 600 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The concentration of the first acid is 75%

The concentration of the second acid is 30%

The final mixture has a concentration of 50%

The final volume is 1080 mL

Suppose x and y be the volume of the first and second acid

[tex]\therefore x+y=1080\quad \ldots(i)\\0.75x+0.3y=0.5\times 1080\quad \ldots(ii)[/tex]

Solving the above equations we get

[tex]x=480,y=600[/tex]

So, the quantity of the first acid is 480 mL and 600 mL for the second mixture.

What is a Pythagoras Theorem?

If ABC is a triangle with AC as the hypotenuse and angle B with 90 degrees then we have:

where |AB| = length of line segment AB. (AB and BC are the rest of the two sides of that triangle ABC, AC being the hypotenuse).

The equation is given below.

sin²θ + cos²θ = 1

If the angle is 360°. Then the equation will be

sin²360° + cos²360° = 1

                      0² + 1² = 1
