Lou has an account with $10,000 which pays 6% interest compounded annually. if to that account, lou deposits $5,000 at the beginning of each year for 2 years, find out the amount in the account after the last deposit.

ince the problem is only asking for 4 years, we can just calculated it out year by year. Recall the formula for compounding interest: A = P(1+r)n, where A is the total amount, P is the principle (amount you start with), r is the interest rate per period of time, and n is the number of periods (in this case, r is annual interest rate, so n is number of years). At the beginning (Year 0), Lou starts off with 10000: A = 10000 At the end of Year 1, Lou earned interest on that amount, plus he has deposited another 5000: A = 10000(1.08) + 5000 End of Year 2, Lou's interest from the year 0 amount has compounded, he has started earning interest on the amount deposited last year, and he deposits another 5000: A = 10000(1.08)2 + 5000(1.08) + 5000 End of Year 3, same idea. Lou has earned compounding interest on all existing deposits, and deposits another 5000: A = 10000(1.08)3 + 5000(1.08)2 + 5000(1.08) + 5000 End of Year 4, same idea: A = 10000(1.08)4 + 5000(1.08)3 + 5000(1.08)2 + 5000(1.08) + 5000 = 36135.45

a) $ 9.50

b) 17

c) y-intercept (0, 12). this is the initial amount of money that joe had prior to playing any game.

d) x-intercept ( 24, 0). this is the number of games that joe will play before he depletes the initial amount of money that he had.

e) slope is -0.5. joe's balance will reduce by 0.5 for every game that he plays.

f)

domain; [0,24]

range; [0,12]

g) x + 2y = 24

step-by-step explanation:

a)

if joe plays 5 games, this will imply that x = 5. substitute x = 5 in the equation and solve for y;

y = -.50x + 12

y = -0.50(5) + 12

y = 9.50

b)

if joe leaves the arcade with $3.50, this will mean that y = 3.50. plug in y = 3.50 in the given equation and solve for x;

y = -.50x + 12

3.50 = -0.50x + 12

0.50x = 12 - 3.50

0.5x = 8.5

x = 17

c)

the function given is   y = -.50x + 12.

the y-intercept is the point where the graph of this function will intersect the y-axis. at this point, the value of x is usually 0. plug in x = 0 in the given equation and determine y;

y = -0.50(0) + 12

y = 12

the y-intercept is thus (0, 12). this is the initial amount of money that joe had prior to playing any game.

d)

the x-intercept refers to the point where the graph of a function intersects with the x-axis. at this point, the value of y is 0. substitute y = 0 in the given equation and solve for x;

0 =   -.50x + 12

0.5x = 12

x = 24

x-intercept ( 24, 0). this is the number of games that joe will play before he depletes the initial amount of money that he had.

e)

the slope of the given equation is -0.5. the equation has been given in slope-intercept form. thus the slope is simply the coefficient of x.

joe's balance will reduce by 0.5 for every game that he plays. this is the interpretation of the slope.

f)

domain is the set of x values for which the function is real and defined. the domain will thus be; [0,24]. this will restrict the balance to only assume positive values.

on the other hand, the range is the set of y values for which a function is real and defined. the range in our case will be [0,12]. joe can have between $0 and $12 balance.

g)

the standard form of the equation of a straight line is;

ax + by = c

where a, b, and c are integers.

our equation is given as;

y = -.50x + 12

re-writing the equation we have;

0.5x + y = 12

divide all through by 0.5;

x + 2y = 24

pi x^2

pi times x squared
