How much do you need to invest every month in an annuity to reach a goal of $25,000 at the end of 5 years, if compounding is

done every month and the annual interest rate is 4%. Round up

to the next penny.

A=25000 is the future value. P the value that we need to invest. r= 0.04 represent the interest rate in fraction. n = 12 represent the number of times that the rate is compounded in a year. t = 5 years.

If we solve for the value of P we got:

And replacing we got:

And rounded to the nesrest penny we need to invest $20475.08 in order to have after 5 years $25000

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can use the future value with compound interest given by:

Where:

A=25000 is the future value. P the value that we need to invest. r= 0.04 represent the interest rate in fraction. n = 12 represent the number of times that the rate is compounded in a year. t = 5 years.

If we solve for the value of P we got:

And replacing we got:

And rounded to the nesrest penny we need to invest $20475.08 in order to have after 5 years $25000

(0,-3) see attached graph

step-by-step explanation:

a. to solve the system, graph the two equations.

x = y+3 becomes y=x-3 has m=1/1 and b=-3. start at (0,-3) on the y-axis and plot a point. then move up 1 unit and 1 unit to the right. plot a point and connect.

y=-4x+3 has m =-4/1 and b=-3. start at (0,-3) on the y-axis and plot a point. then move down four units and to the right 1 unit. plot a point and connect.

the solution is the point (x,y) where the two lines intersect. by the graph below it is (0,-3).

b. to solve by substitution, substitute y = -4x-3 into x= y+3

x= (-4x-3) +3

x=-4x

5x=0

x=0

now substitute x = 0 back in to find y.

y= -4(0)-3

y=0-3

y=-3

solution is (0,-3)

c. use elimination by adding the equations together.

x-y=3

4x+y=-3

5x=0

x=0

then substitute into one equation to find y.

y=-4(0)-3

y=-3
