Question 2 Brent invested $6,500 into an account
paying a simple interest rate of 4.2% per
year. Assuming no withdrawals were
made, which of the following is the total
amount in the account after 18 months?

$6909.50

Step-by-step explanation:

First, converting R percent to r a decimal

r = R/100 = 4.2%/100 = 0.042 per year,

then, solving our equation

I = 6500 × 0.042 × 1.5 = 409.5

I = $ 409.50

The simple interest accumulated

on a principal of $ 6,500.00

at a rate of 4.2% per year

for 1.5 years is $ 409.50.

step-by-step explanation:

geometric series converge the common ratio r has magnitude less than one.

which is equivalent to

for the example we need

|2-x| < 1

-1 < 2-x   and 2-x < 1

x < 3 and x > 1

we can write that

answer: 1 < x < 3

1a. common ratio r=250/25=10 > 1     diverges

1b.   r=50/100=1/2 converges

when these converge they converge to

where a is the first term.

answer: 200

1c. r=-1   so it's not the case that |r| < 1.     diverges

2a. x is the common ratio so we converge when |x|< 1

2b.   r=-10x / -2 = 5x.

we converge when

|5x| < 1

|x| < 1/5

2c.   r=3-2x

-1 < 3-2x and 3-2x < 1

-4 < -2x and 2 < 2x

x < 2 and 1 < x

1 < x < 2

2d. [/tex] r=-48x^3/12 = 4x^3[/tex]

|4x^3| < 1

|x^3| < \frac 1 4

|x| < 4^{-1/3}
