20:13:25 `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 --> $1,100 after 1 year, $1,210 after 2 years, and after 3 years it would be $1,331 it increases from year to year because it compounds each year you take 10 percent of the past amount plus 10 percent confidence assessment: 3
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
20:13:36 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.

20:15:03 `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 --> 1.1 gives you the numbers it is significant because it is like saying 100 percent plus 10 percent confidence assessment: 3
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
20:15:13 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.

20:23:46 `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 --> P(1)=1.10*1000(1-1)=1100 P(2)=1.10*1100(2-1)=1210 P(3)=1.10*1210(3-1)=2662 you get the same outcome and it has all the same numbers involved just in a different operation confidence assessment: 3
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
20:24:15 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.

20:27:28 `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 --> 1.8 1.8*5000=9000 1.8*9000(2-1)=16200 1.8*16200(3-1)=58320 confidence assessment:
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
20:27:53 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.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> ok i did 1.8 which gave me much bigger numbers self critique assessment: 3

20:28:36 `q005. How would you write the recurrence relation for a $5000 investment at 8 percent annual interest?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> P(N)=1.08*P(N-1) confidence assessment: 3
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
20:28:44 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).

20:29:37 `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 --> it has a positive linear slope and the slope would increase more quickly as the years grew confidence assessment: 3
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
20:29:49 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.

20:31:27 `q007. With a $5000 investment at 8 percent annual interest, how many years will it take to double the investment?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> 10000=1.08*5000(n-1) n-1=1.85 n=2.85 confidence assessment: 3
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
20:31:44 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.

20:32:18 `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 --> ??? confidence assessment: 3
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
20:32:32 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.

20:35:55 `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 --> the first hour would be 720mg 2nd hour would be 648 mg and the third would be 583.2 mg removing half would be about 8 hours confidence assessment: 3
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
20:36:07 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.

20:38:21 `q010. In the preceding problem, what function Q(t) represents the amount of antibiotic present after t hours? What does a graph of Q(t) vs. t look like?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> it would be that as time passes or increases amount of medicine decreases confidence assessment: 3
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
20:38:48 After t hours we will have 800 * .9^t mg left. So Q(t) = 800 * .9^t. The amounts for the first several years are 800, 720, 648, 583.2, etc.. These amounts decrease by less and less each time. As a result the graph, which passes through the vertical axes at (0,800), decreases at a decreasing rate. We note that no matter how many times we multiply by .9 our result will always be greater than 0, so the graph will keep decreasing at a decreasing rate, approaching the horizontal axis but never touching it.

20:41:44 `q011. Suppose that we know that the population of fish in a pond, during the year after the pond is stocked, should be an exponential function of the form P = P0 * b^t, where t stands for the number of months after stocking. If we know that the population is 300 at the end of 2 months and 500 at the end of six months, then what system of 2 simultaneous linear equations do we get by substituting this information into the form of the function?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> i dont understand where the numbers get plugged into these equations confidence assessment: 3
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
20:41:52 We substitute the populations 300 then 500 for P and substitute 2 months and 6 months for t to obtain the equations 300 = P0 * b^2 and 500 = P0 * b^6.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> ok self critique assessment: 3
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
20:42:43 `q012. We obtain the system 300 = P0 * b^2 500 = P0 * b^6 in the situation of the preceding problem. If we divide the second equation by the first, what equation do we obtain? What do we get when we solve this equation for b? If we substitute this value of b into the first equation, what equation do we get? If we solve this equation for P0 what do we get? What therefore is our specific P = P0 * b^t function for this problem?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> confidence assessment:
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
20:43:10 Dividing the second equation by the first the left-hand side will be left-hand side: 500/300, which reduces to 5/3, and the right-hand side will be right-hand side: (P0 * b^6) / (P0 * b^2), which we rearrange to get (P0 / P0) * (b^6 / b^2) = 1 * b^(6-2) = b^4. Our equation is therefore b^4 = 5/3. To solve this equation for b we take the 1/4 power of both sides to obtain (b^4)^(1/4) = (5/3)^(1/4), or b = 1.136, to four significant figures. Substituting this value back into the first equation we obtain 300 = P0 * 1.136^2. Solving this equation for P0 we divide both sides by 1.136^2 to obtain P0 = 300 / (1.136^2) = 232.4, again accurate to 4 significant figures. Substituting our values of P0 and b into the original form P = P0 * b^t we obtain our function P = 232.4 * 1.136^t.
