Ann invested $9000 in an account that earns 4.7% interest compounded annually . how much did ann have in the account after 5 years

Answers

The correct answer is FV = $11,323.38  

What is compound interest explain?

Compound interest is when you earn interest on both the money you've saved and the interest you earn. So let's say you invest $1,000 (your principal) and it earns 5 percent (interest rate or earnings) once a year (the compounding frequency).

FV = PV x [1 + R]^N, where FV=Future Value, PV=Present Value, R=Interest rate per period, N=Number of periods.

FV = 9,000 x [1 + 0.047]^5

FV = 9,000 x 1.047^5

FV = 9,000 x 1.258152857750007

FV = $11,323.38

Therefore , the answer is $11,323.38.

A train leaves the station at 11 a.m. traveling at the rate of 40 miles per hour. A faster train leaves the same station at 1 p.m. that afternoon and travels in the same direction on a parallel track at a rate of 60 miles per hour. At what time will the faster train overtake the slower one

Answers

The faster train overtake the slower on 5 p.m.

How to solve such time related questions?

The key concept for solving such questions is the relationship between speed, distance and time.

The relationship between them is Distance = Speed x Time.

Let the number of hours after 1pm at which faster train will overtake slower train be x.

At overtaking point,

Distance travelled by slower train = Distance travelled by faster train

Given :

Speed of slower train = 40 miles per hourSpeed of faster train = 60 miles per hourTime taken by faster train = xTime taken by slower train = x + 2.

On equating distances we get

40 x ( x + 20) = 60 x (x)

40x + 80 = 60x

20x = 80

x = 4.

∴The faster train overtake the slower on 1 + 4 = 5 p.m.

If RT = 90, find the length of RO. (SU = 25)(SO is perpendicular to RT)

Answers

In the given figure of circle, if RT = 90, SU = 25, and SO is perpendicular to RT, the length of the radius RO is 53.

In the given figure,

RT = 90

SU = 25

SO is perpendicular to RT.

Here, SO and RO are the radii of the circle and RT is a chord.

The length of the chord, RT is given as,

RT = 2 √(r² - d²)

Here, r is the radius and d is the distance of the chord RT from the center O.

Radius, r = RO and distance, d = OU

∴ RT = 2 √(RO² - OU²)

Substituting RT = 90 in the above equation, we get,

90 = 2 √[(RO)² - (OU)²]

√[RO)² - (OU)²]  = 45

(RO)² - (OU)² = 45²

(RO)² - (OU)² = 2025 ........... (1)

Now, OU = SO - SU   [From the figure]

⇒ OU = SO - 25

Substituting OU = SO - 25 in equation (1), we obtain,

(RO)² - (SO - 25)² = 2025

(RO)²- [(SO)² + (25)² - 2(SO)(25)] = 2025    [ ∵ (a-b)² = a²+b²-2ab ]

(RO)²- (SO)² - (25)² + 50(SO) = 2025 ........... (2)

Since, RO and SO both are the radii of the same circle, we have,

SO = RO

Thus, we can write equation (2), as follows,

⇒ (RO)² - (RO)² - (25)² + 50(RO) = 2025

⇒ -625 + 50RO = 2025

⇒ 50RO = 2025 + 625

⇒ RO = 2650/50

⇒ RO = 53

Hence, the length of the radius RO of the given circle is 53.

If A and B are independent events and P(A)=0.25 and P(B)=0.333, what is the probability P(ANB)?
a) 1.33200
b) 0.75075
c) 0.08325
d) -0.0830

Answers

The probability P(ANB), that is, P(A ∩ B), given that A and B are independent events and P(A) = 0.25 and P(B) = 0.333 is 0.08325. Hence, option C is the right choice.

For any two events A and B, the probability of event A and B, that is, P(A ∩ B) is given as:-

When the events are dependent, P(A ∩ B) = P(A).P(B|A).When the events are independent, P(A ∩ B) = P(A).P(B).

In the question, we asked the probability P(ANB), that is, P(A ∩ B), given that A and B are independent events and P(A) = 0.25 and P(B) = 0.333.

We know that when the events are independent, P(A ∩ B) = P(A).P(B).

Thus, P(A ∩ B) = (0.25)*(0.333),

or, P(A ∩ B) = 0.08325.

Thus, the probability P(ANB), that is, P(A ∩ B), given that A and B are independent events and P(A) = 0.25 and P(B) = 0.333 is 0.08325. Hence, option C is the right choice.

Answers

The measure of the seventh interior angle of the heptagon is 124°. (Correct choice: C)

What is the measure of the missing interior angle in a heptagon?

Heptagons are polygons with seven sides, seven vertices, seven interior angles and seven central angles. Herein we know the value of the sum of six interior angles and we need to know the measure of the seventh interior angle. We can determine the measure of the seven interior angles by using the following expression:

θ = (n - 2) · 180°, where n is the number of sides of the polygon.     (1)

If we know that n = 7, then sum of the internal angles in the heptagon is:

θ = (7 - 2) · 180°

θ = 900°

And the measure of the final interior angle is found by subtraction:

θ₇ = 900° - 776°

θ₇ = 124°

The measure of the seventh interior angle of the heptagon is 124°. (Correct choice: C)

How many sequences of 0s and 1s of length 19 are there that begin with a 0, end with a 0, contain no two consecutive 0s, and contain no three consecutive 1s

Answers

65 sequences.

Lets solve the problem,

The last term is 0.

To form the first 18 terms, we must combine the following two sequences:

0-1 and 0-1-1

Any combination of these two sequences will yield a valid case in which no two 0's and no three 1's are adjacent

So we will combine identical 2-term sequences with identical 3-term sequences to yield a total of 18 terms, we get:

2x + 3y = 18

Case 1: x=9 and y=0

Number of ways to arrange 9 identical 2-term sequences = 1

Case 2: x=6 and y=2

Number of ways to arrange 6 identical 2-term sequences and 2 identical 3-term sequences =8!6!2!=28=8!6!2!=28

Case 3: x=3 and y=4

Number of ways to arrange 3 identical 2-term sequences and 4 identical 3-term sequences =7!3!4!=35=7!3!4!=35

Case 4: x=0 and y=6

Number of ways to arrange 6 identical 3-term sequences = 1

Total ways = Case 1 + Case 2 + Case 3 + Case 4 = 1 + 28 + 35 + 1 = 65

Which angles equal 91°?
angles T and V
angles S and U
angles U and V
angles S and T

Answers

Angles T and V of the parallelogram are equal to 91°.

Calculating the Value of x

In the parallelogram TUVS, adjacent angles U and V are given as,

U = 4x+9

V = 6x-29

Since U and V are adjacent angles, and as per the properties of a parallelogram, sum of adjacent angles is equal to 180°.

4x+9 + 6x-29 = 180

10x - 20 =180

10x = 200

x = 20

Calculating the Angles of the Parallelogram

∠U = 4x + 9

∠U = 4(20) + 9

∠U = 80 + 9

∠U = 89°

∠V = 6x - 29

∠V = 6(20) - 29

∠V = 120 - 29

∠V = 91°

According to the properties of a parallelogram, opposite angles are of equal measure.

∠T = ∠V and ∠S = ∠U

⇒ ∠T = 91° and ∠S = 89°

What is the temperature change when500 cal of heat is added to 100 g of hydrogen?A. 0.067CB. 1.49CC. 16.7CD. 49.8CE. 14970C which of the following in aqueous solution is a weak electrolyte? h2co3(aq) nh4cl(aq) lioh(aq) all of the above none of the above a(n) __________ is a template that serves as the basis for new objects. what evidence observed on mars indicates that at one time it may have had a warmer climate and a water cycle similar to that on earth? as neolithic peoples moved southward, they discovered that africas equatorial rain forests were inhospitable to cows and horses, largely because of ___________. which form of energy fuels cellular metabolism in chemoheterotrophs bHi shock 1 Consider a horizontal supersonic flow at Mach 2.8 (M) with a static pressure and temperature of 10 kPa (P1) and 373 K (T1). This flow passes over a compression corner with a deflection angle (0) of 50. The oblique shock generated at the corner propagates into the flow, and is incident on a horizontal wall, as shown in the above figure. Calculate a) the angle made by the reflected shock wave with respect to the wall b) the Mach number in region 3 c) the pressure in region 3 d) the temperature in region 3 the regional information sharing system (riss) was established in 1974 to do which of the following? a. assist criminal justice agencies to remove criminal conspiracies. b. provide locally based services to law enforcement agencies. c. provide controlled systematic updating of criminal justice information. d. assist criminal justice agencies to remove criminal conspiracies, provide locally based services to law enforcement agencies, and provide controlled systematic updating of criminal justice information. is the idea that development is a series of stages marked by abrupt changes with distinct endpoints (e.g., larva, pupa, butterfly).
