Part 1) The simple interest earned when you invest $1,000 for 3 years at 10 % is $300

Part 2) The interest compounded when you invest the same sum for 2 years at 5 % is $102.50

Part 4)

Part 5)

Part 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) What will be the simple interest earned when you invest $1,000 for 3 years at 10 percent

we know that

The simple interest formula is equal to

where

I is the Final Interest Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest  

t is Number of Time Periods

in this problem we have

substitute in the formula above

Part 2) What will be the compound interest earned when you invest $1,000 for 2 years at 5 percent ?

we know that    

The compound interest formula is equal to  

where  

I is the Final Investment Value  

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested  

r is the rate of interest  in decimal

t is Number of Time Periods  

n is the number of times interest is compounded per year

in this problem we have  

substitute in the formula above  

The interest is equal to

Part 3) There are 7 trout fish in a pond,  and the population doubles every year.

Find the population after t years.

we know that

This question is about exponent function of the form

where

a is the initial value

b is the base of the exponent.

In this problem we have

There are 7 trout fish in the pound ----> initial value a=7

The population is double every year ------> the base is b=2

substitute

Part 4) A company buys a machine for $3,000.  The value of the machine depreciates  by 7% every year. Find the value of  the machine after t years.

we know that

This question is about exponent function of the form

where

a is the initial value

b is the base of the exponent.

we have

Company buys a machine for $3,000 --> initial value is a=3,000

The value depreciate 7% a year

Since it was decreased by 7% every year, it will become: 100%-7%=93%

the base is 93%, b=0.93

substitute

Part 5) The initial population of a colony of ants  is 300. The number of ants increases  at a rate of 1.5% every month. Find the  population of ants after t months.

we know that

This question is about exponent function of the form

where

a is the initial value

b is the base of the exponent.

we have

Initial population of ants is 300----> initial value is a=300

The number of ants increases 1.5% per month.

Since it will increases by 1.5% every month, it will become: 100%+1.5%=101.5%

the base is 101.5%, b=1.015

substitute

Part 6) A research laboratory is testing a new  vaccine on 300 infected cells. The decay  rate is 1.5% per minute. Find the  number of infected cells after t minutes.

we know that

This question is about exponent function of the form

where

a is the initial value

b is the base of the exponent.

we have

A research laboratory is testing new vaccine on 300 infected cells

 initial value is a=300

The decay/decrease rate is 1.5% per minute

Since it will decrease by 1.5% every min, it will become: 100%-1.5%=98.5%  

the base is 98.5%, b=0.985

substitute

8

this is a subtraction problem.

10 - 2 = 8
