Jim and Bill each invest $15,000 into savings accounts that earn 3.5% interest. Jim's account earns simple interest and Bill's account earns compound interest. After 25 years, who will earn more interest and how much more will he earn?

Bill will earn more interest

He will earn $ 20,448.67 from his investment

Step-by-step explanations

Firstly let us calculate Jim's earnings based on simple interest

A = P(1 + rt)

Calculation:

First, converting R percent to r

a decimal

r = R/100 = 3.5%/100 = 0.035 per year.

Solving our equation:

A = 15000(1 + (0.035 × 25)) = 28125

A = $28,125.00

The total amount accrued, principal plus interest, from simple interest on a principal of $15,000.00 at a rate of 3.5% per year for 25 years is $28,125.00 for Jim

Now let's us calculate bill's investment based on compound interest

Equation

A = P(1 + r)^t

A=15000(1+0.035)^25

A=15000(1.035)^25

A=15000*2.36324498427

A = $ 35,448.67

We see that Bill will earn

$ 20,448.67 from his investment

x = central angle apc = measure of minor arc ac

the two angles x and 30 add to 180, so x+30 = 180 and x = 180-30 = 150. the measure of minor arc ac is 150 degrees.

what we need to do from here is find the circumference and then multiply it by x/360 since there are 360 degrees in a circle. in this case, x = 150, so x/360 = 150/360 = 15/36 = 5/12. the shortest distance along the curve from a to c is 5/12 of the distance around the entire circle (aka circumference)

c = circumference

c = pi*d

c = pi*24

c = 24pi

now multiply this by 5/12 to get

distance along minor arc ac = (5/12)*(circumference)

distance along minor arc ac = (5/12)*(24pi)

distance along minor arc ac = 10pi

the formula you can use is

l = (x/360)*pi*d

with

l = length of minor arc

x = central angle

d = diameter

which essentially is the steps we took though a bit differently.

its d. the first coordintaes are 10,32
