Hector invests $800 in an account that earns 6.96% annual interest compounded semiannually. Rebecca invests $1,000 in an account that earns 5.44% annual interest compounded monthly. Find when the value of Rebecca's investment equals the value of Hector's investment and find the common value of the investments at that time. If necessary, enter the year to the nearest tenth and the value to the nearest cent. The value of Rebecca's investment equals the value of Hector's investment after approximately years to the nearest tenth. The common value of the investments is approximately $ .

The value of Rebecca's investment equals the value of Hector's investment after approximately 15.8 years to the nearest tenth

The common value of the investments is approximately $2358.05

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the compound interest including the principal is

$A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$ , where

A is the future value of the investment/loan, including interestP is the principal investment amountr is the annual interest rate (decimal)n is the number of times that interest is compounded per unit tt is the time the money is invested or borrowed for

Hector invests $800 in an account that earns 6.96% annual interest compounded semiannually

∵ P = 800

∵ r = 6.96 = $\frac{6.96}{100}$ = 0.0696

∵ n = 2 ⇒ semiannually

- Substitute all these values in the formula to find future value

∴ $A=800(1+\frac{0.0696}{2})^{2t}$

∴ $A=800(1.0348)^{2t}$

Rebecca invests $1,000 in an account that earns 5.44% annual interest compounded monthly

∵ P = 1,000

∵ r = 5.44 = $\frac{5.44}{100}$ = 0.0544

∵ n = 12 ⇒ monthly

- Substitute all these values in the formula to find future value

∴ $A=1000(1+\frac{0.0544}{12})^{12t}$

∴ $A=1000(1.004533333)^{12t}$

∵ Rebecca's investment equals the value of Hector's investment

- Equate the two equations

∵ $1000(1.004533333)^{12t}$ = $800(1.0348)^{2t}$

- Insert ㏑ in both sides and remember ㏑(ab) = ㏑(a) + ㏑(b)

∴ ㏑( $1000(1.004533333)^{12t}$ ) = ㏑( $800(1.0348)^{2t}$ )

∴ ㏑(1000) + ㏑( $(1.004533333)^{12t}$ ) = ㏑(800) + ㏑( $(1.0348)^{2t}$ )

- Remember $ln(a)^{n}$ = n ㏑(a)

∴ ㏑(1000) + 12t [㏑(1.004533333)] = ㏑(800) + 2t [㏑(1.0348)]

- Subtract ㏑(800) and 12t [㏑(1.004533333)] from both sides

∴ ㏑(1000) - ㏑(800) = 2t [㏑(1.0348)] - 12t [㏑(1.004533333)]

- Take t as a common factor from the right hand side

∴ ㏑(1000) - ㏑(800) = t(2[㏑(1.0348)] - 12[㏑(1.004533333)])

- Divide both sides by (2[㏑(1.0348)] - 12[㏑(1.004533333)])

∴ 15.8 = t

The value of Rebecca's investment equals the value of Hector's investment after approximately 15.8 years to the nearest tenth

Let us find this value using Hector or Rebecca equations

∵ $A=800(1.0348)^{2t}$

- Substitute t by 15.8

∴ $A=800(1.0348)^{2(15.8)}$

∴ A = 2358.05

The common value of the investments is approximately $2358.05

Answer from: Quest

dc=6 square root of 3 and ac is 12 square root 3

c and d

step-by-step explanation:

square root of 3/2 = 18/c

cross multiply to get 18*2=√3*c

36/√3 * √3/√3 = c

c= 36*√3/3

c=12√3
