Question 1

Solve the problem.
-Find the future value accumulated in an annuity after investing periodic payments of $300 for 6 years at an annual interest rate of 7%, with payments made and credited 4 times per year.

Accepted Answer

The future value of an annuity is the sum of the present values of each of the payments made over the life of the annuity. In this case, we have 6 years of payments, with 4 payments made per year, for a total of 24 payments. The present value of each payment is $300 / (1 + 0.07 / 4)^n, where n is the number of payments made up to that point. The future value of the annuity is the sum of the present values of all 24 payments.Using a financial calculator, we can find that the future value of the annuity is $8,853.30.

Question 2

Find the amount accumulated after investing a principal P for t years at an interest rate r.
-P = $14,000, t = 14, r = 8%, compounded semiannually (k = 2)

Accepted Answer

The formula for compound interest is A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt), where A is the amount, P is the principal, r is the annual interest rate (in decimal), n is the number of times the interest is compounded per year, and t is the time the money is invested for in years. Here, P = $14,000, r = 0.08 (since 8% = 0.08), n = 2 (compounded semiannually), and t = 14 years. Plugging these values into the formula gives A = 14000(1 + 0.08/2)^(2*14) = $41,981.85.

Question 3

Solve the equation.
-$\log x ^ { 2 } = 8$

Accepted Answer

Question 7

Solve the problem.
-By how many orders of magnitude do two earthquakes differ if one is rated 2.7 on the Richter scale and the other is rated 5.1?

Accepted Answer

The difference in magnitude on the Richter scale is 5.1 - 2.7 = 2.4. This difference represents the orders of magnitude by which the earthquakes differ.

Question 8

Solve the equation.
-$\log _ { 4 } ( 2 x + 5 ) - \log _ { 4 } ( x - 2 ) = 1$

Accepted Answer

Using the properties of logarithms, the equation can be rewritten as $\log _ { 4 } \left( \frac{2x + 5}{x - 2} \right) = 1$. This implies $\frac{2x + 5}{x - 2} = 4$. Solving this equation gives $x = 6.5$.

Question 12

Solve the equation.
-$\log _ { 6 } x + \log _ { 6 } ( x - 3 ) = 2$

Accepted Answer

The equation can be rewritten using the property $\log_b(m) + \log_b(n) = \log_b(mn)$ as $\log_6(x(x-3)) = 2$. This implies $x(x-3) = 6^2 = 36$. Solving the quadratic equation $x^2 - 3x - 36 = 0$ gives the solutions $x = 7.685$ and $x = -4.685$. However, since logarithms are only defined for positive numbers, $x = -4.685$ is not valid. Thus, the only solution is $x = 7.685$.

Question 14

Find the amount accumulated after investing a principal P for t years at an interest rate r.
-P = $4307.17, t = 12 , r = 7% , compounded monthly (k = 12)

Accepted Answer

The formula for compound interest is A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt), where A is the amount, P is the principal, r is the annual interest rate (in decimal), n is the number of times the interest is compounded per year, and t is the time the money is invested for in years. Here, P = $4307.17, r = 7% or 0.07, n = 12, and t = 12 years. Plugging these values into the formula gives A = 4307.17(1 + 0.07/12)^(12*12) = $9952.67.

Question 15

Find the amount accumulated after investing a principal P for t years at an interest rate r.
-P = $800, t = 4, r = 1% compounded continuously

Accepted Answer

The formula for continuous compounding is $A = Pe^{rt}$, where $A$ is the amount, $P$ is the principal, $r$ is the annual interest rate (in decimal form), and $t$ is the time in years. Plugging in the given values: $A = 800e^{0.01*4} = 800e^{0.04} \approx \$832.65$.

Question 16

Solve the problem.
-By how many orders of magnitude do a $20 bill and a nickel differ?

Accepted Answer

The value of a $20 bill is $20, and the value of a nickel is $0.05. To find the difference in orders of magnitude, you divide the larger value by the smaller one and then take the logarithm (base 10) of the result. So, $ \log_{10}(\frac{20}{0.05}) = \log_{10}(400) = 2.6 $.

Question 18

Find the amount accumulated after investing a principal P for t years at an interest rate r.
-P = $4511, t = 5 , r = 7.3% , compounded quarterly (k = 4)

Accepted Answer

The formula for compound interest is A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt), where A is the amount of money accumulated after n years, including interest, P is the principal amount, r is the annual interest rate (decimal), n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year, and t is the time the money is invested for in years. Here, P = $4511, r = 7.3% or 0.073, n = 4 (since the interest is compounded quarterly), and t = 5 years. Plugging these values into the formula gives A = 4511(1 + 0.073/4)^(4*5) = $6476.81.

-P = $1,000, t = 2, r = 6% , compounded annually (k = 1)

Accepted Answer

The formula for compound interest is A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt). Here, P = $1,000, r = 0.06, n = 1, and t = 2. Plugging these values into the formula gives A = 1000(1 + 0.06/1)^(1*2) = 1000(1.06)^2 = $1123.60.
