`questionNumber 150000

`q001. Note that this assignment has 12 questions

If you are given $1000 and invest it at 10% annual interest, compounded annually, then how much money will you have after the first year, how much after the second, and how much after the third?

Is the the change in the amount of money the same every year, does the change increase year by year, does the change decrease year by year or does it sometimes increase and sometimes decrease?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

Interest will be 100 dollars for 1st year, making total 1100.

2nd year interest changes to 110. At total of 2nd year you will have 1210.

3rd year 121 interest, total 1331

Increases year by year.

`questionNumber 150000

During the first year the interest will be 10% of $1000, or $100. This makes the total at the end of the first year $1100.

During the second year the interest will be 10% of $1100, or $110. At the end of the second year the total will therefore be $1100 + $110 = $1210.

During the third year the interest will be 10% of $1210, or $121. At the end of the sphere year the total will therefore be $1210 + $121 = $1331.

The yearly changes are $100, $110, and $121. These changes increase year by year.

`questionNumber 150000

`q002. In the preceding problem you obtained amounts $1100, $1210 and $1331. What number would you multiply by $1000 to get $1100? What number we do multiply by $1100 to get $1210? What number would we multiply by $1210 to get $1331?

What is the significance of this number and how could we have found it from the original information that the amount increases by 10 percent each year?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

Getting 1210 multiply by itself/1100 to ge 1.1 the same applies to the 1331. 110% represents 1.1

`questionNumber 150000

To get $1100 you have to multiply $1000 by 1100 / 1000 = 1.1.

To get $1210 you have to multiply $1210 by 1210 / 1100 = 1.1.

To get $1331 you have to multiply $1331 by 1331 / 1210 = 1.1.

If the amount increases by 10 percent, then you end up with 110 percent of what you start with. 110% is the same as 1.1.

`questionNumber 150000

`q003. Given the recurrence relation P(n) = 1.10 * P(n-1) with P(0) = 1000, substitute n = 1, 2, and 3 in turn to determine P(1), P(2) and P(3). How is this equation related to the situation of the preceding two problems?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

Substitute them into equation to get

P(1)=1100

P(2)=1210

P(3)=11331 same answers as earlier.

13:03:17

`questionNumber 150000

Substituting 1 into P(n) = 1.10 * P(n-1) we obtain P(1) = 1.10 * P(1-1), or P(1) = 1.10 * P(0). Since P(0) = 1000 we get P(1) = 1.1 * 1000 = 1100.

Substituting 2 into P(n) = 1.10 * P(n-1) we obtain P(2) = 1.10 * P(1). Since P(1) = 1100 we get P(1) = 1.1 * 1100 = 1210.

Substituting 3 into P(n) = 1.10 * P(n-1) we obtain P(3) = 1.10 * P(2). Since P(2) = 1000 we get P(3) = 1.1 * 1210 = 1331.

`questionNumber 150000

`q004. If you are given $5000 and invest it at 8% annual interest, compounded annually, what number would you multiply by $5000 to get the amount at the end of the first year?

Using the same multiplier, find the results that the end of the second and third years.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

take 8% think at last part of year you get 108% so it is same as 1.08 so multiply 5000 by 1.08 to get 5400 dollars.

Take this amount and multiply by 1.08 to get 5832=2nd year

Take this amount, multiply by 1.08 get 6298.55= third year.

13:06:21

`questionNumber 150000

If your money increases by 8% in a year, then it the end of the year you will have 108% as much as at the beginning. Since 108% is the same as 1.08, our yearly multiplier will be 1.08.

If we multiply $5000 by 1.08, we obtain $5000 * 1.08 = $5400, which is the amount the end of the first your.

At the end of the second year the amount will be $5400 * 1.08 = $5832.

At the end of the third year the amount will be $5832 * 1.08 = $6298.56.

`questionNumber 150000

`q005. How would you write the recurrence relation for a $5000 investment at 8 percent annual interest?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

Do same as last recurrence relation= P(n)=1.088P(n-1) I think

......!!!!!!!!...................................

13:07:31

`questionNumber 150000

Just as the recurrence relation for 10 percent annual interest, as seen in the problem before the last, was P(n) = 1.10 * P(n-1), the recurrence relation for 8 percent annual interest is P(n) = 1.08 * P(n-1).

`q006. If you are given amount $5000 and invest it at annual rate 8% or .08, then after n years how much money do you have? What does a graph of amount of money vs. number of years look like?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

n years equals 5000*1.08^n

13:09:15

`questionNumber 150000

After 1 year the amount it $5000 * 1.08.

Multiplying this by 1.08 we obtain for the amount at the end of the second year ($5000 * 1.08) * 1.08 = $5000 * 1.08^2.

Multiplying this by 1.08 we obtain for the amount at the end of the third year ($5000 * 1.08^2) * 1.08 = $5000 * 1.08^3.

Continuing to multiply by 1.08 we obtain $5000 * 1.08^3 at the end of year 3, $5000 * 1.08^4 at the end of year 4, etc..

It should be clear that we can express the amount at the end of the nth year as $5000 * 1.08^n.

If we evaluate $5000 * 1.08^n for n = 0, 1, 2, ..., 10 we get $5000, $5400, 5832, 6298.56, 6802.45, 7346.64, 7934.37, 8569.12, 9254.65, 9995.02, 10,794.62. It is clear that the amount increases by more and more with every successive year. This result in a graph which passes through the vertical axis at (0, 5000) and increases at an increasing rate.

`questionNumber 150000

`q007. With a $5000 investment at 8 percent annual interest, how many years will it take to double the investment?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

Multiply 5000 by 1.08 until we get to almost 10th year and it doubles.

13:11:00

`questionNumber 150000

Multiplying $5000 successively by 1.08 we obtain amounts $5400, 5832, 6298.56, 6802.45, 7346.64, 7934.37, 8569.12, 9254.65, 9995.02, 10,794.62 at the end of years 1 thru 10. We see that the doubling to $10,000 occurs very shortly after the end of the ninth year.

We can make a closer estimate. If we calculate $5000 * 1.08^x for x = 9 and x = 9.1 we get about $10,072. So at x = 9 and at x = 9.1 the amounts are $9995 and $10072. The first $5 of the $77 increase will occur at about 5/77 of the .1 year time interval. Since 5/77 * .1 = .0065, a good estimate would be that the doubling time is 9.0065 years.

If we evaluate $5000 * 1.08^9.0065 we get $10,000.02.

`questionNumber 150000

`q008. If you are given amount P0 and invest it at annual rate r (e.g., for the preceding example r would be 8%, which in numerical form is .08), then after n years how much money do you have?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

we would use similar formula to earlier equation sort of look likeP* 1 +rate^n

......!!!!!!!!...................................

13:18:52

`questionNumber 150000

If the annual interest rate is .08 then each year we would multiply the amount by 1.08, the amount after n years would be P0 * 1.08^n. If the rate is represented by r then each year then each year we multiply by 1 + r, and after n years we have P0 * (1 + r)^n.

`questionNumber 150000

`q009. If after an injection of 800 mg an antibiotic your body removes 10% every hour, then how much antibiotic remains after each of the first 3 hours? How long does it take your body to remove half of the antibiotic?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

90% will remain

confidence assessment: 2

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

13:21:30

`questionNumber 150000

If 10 percent of the antibiotic is removed each hour, then at the end of the hour the amount left will be 90 percent of what was present at the beginning of the hour. Thus after 1 hour we have .90 * 800 mg, after a second hour we have .90 of this, or .90^2 * 800 mg, and after a third hour we have .90 of this, or .90^3 * 800 mg.

The numbers are 800 mg * .90 = 720 mg, then .90 of this or 648 mg, then .90 of this or 583.2 mg.
