Calculate simple interest
Question
Carolyn makes a deposit of $2,800 into a savings account. The bank calculates simple interest annually at a rate of 7.5%.
Interest is added every year on the anniversary of the initial deposit. How many years must Carolyn wait before her
investment exceeds $3,500? Give your answer in years. Do not include units in your answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

A=P0(1+rt).

We know that A=$3,500,P0=$2,800 and r=7.5%=0.075, so we can rearrange the formula for A to get an explicit expression for t:

A=P0(1+rt)⟹t=A−P0P0r,

and substituting the known quantities gives

r=$3,500−$2,800$2,800×0.075=3.33,

which means, since the interest is paid annually, that she must wait four years for the total investment to exceed $3,500.

there are many solutions.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

4x+6=4x^2+10x−4

step 2: subtract 4x^2+10x-4 from both sides.

4x+6−(4x^2+10x−4)=4x^2+10x−4−(4x^2+10x−4)

−4x^2−6x+10=0

step 3: factor left side of equation.

−2(2x+5)(x−1)=0

step 4: set factors equal to 0.

x=-5/2 or x=1

answer: option a.

step-by-step explanation:

you know that the quadrilateral opqr ( a four sided figure) is inscribed in circle. this means that all its vertices are on the circle.

then, by definition, the opposite angles of the quadrilateral are supplementary, this means that the sum of their measures is 180 degrees.

you can observe in the figure that the angles ∠opq   and the angle ∠orq   are opposite, therefore:

then, can be used to d to calculate the measure of ∠opq
