Dudley Durite deposited $350 into a savings account that earns 6.5% interest compounded semi annually. What amount was in his account at the end of 1 year?

$373.12

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to set this up with the equation for compound interest which is . A stands for amount, P stands for principle which in this case is 350, r is rate which for this one is .065, ad n is the amount of times compounded per year, and since it is compounded semi annually you do 2 for 2 times a year. Your equation based on this information should look like this:

After working this out you get A = 373.12

$373.12

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
