A company has a bonus incentive for its employees. The company pays employees an initial signing bonus of $1000 and invests that amount for the employees. Suppose the investment earns 8% interest compounded quarterly. a. If an employee receiving this incentive withdraws the balance of the account after 5 years, how much will be in the account? Round to the nearest cent.
b. If an employee receiving this incentive withdraws the balance of the account after 35 years, how much will be in the account? Round to the nearest cent.

Since this is a compound interest, we will use this formula: A = P(1+r/n)^n*t

P = $1000 --> the amount that we start with

r = 8% --> this is the rate

n = 4 --> This is because it is compounded quarterly.

t = 5 --> the amount of years

A = 1,000.00(1 + 0.02)^(20)

So our final value after inserting those numbers in the equation is: $1,485.95.

(- 1, 0 )

step-by-step explanation:

an x- intercept is where the function crosses the x- axis.

to find the x- intercept/s look for the value of x when f(x) = 0

from the given table there are 3 values of x where f(x) = 0

when x = - 1, x = 2, x = 3

the one that is listed is (- 1, 0 )

x =-.20752

step-by-step explanation:

4^(x+2)=12

4^(x+2)=12

take the log base 4 on each side

log 4 (4^(x+2) = log 4(12)

we know log b(a^y) = y log b (a)

(x+2) log 4(4) = log 4 (12)

x+2 = log 4 (12)

we know   logb c = loga c/loga b

we want to convert to base 10   so a = 10

by default, we do not write the 10   c = 4   and b = 10

log4 10 = log 12/log 4

log4 10 = log 12/ log 4

x+2 = log 12/ log 4

subtract 2 from each side

x +2 -2 = log 12/ log 4 -2

x = 1.79248125 -2

x =-.20752
