There are three options for investing $1150. The first earns 10% compounded annually, the second earns 10% compounded quarterly, and the third earns 10% compounded continuously. Find equations that model each investment growth and
use a graphing utility to graph each model in the same viewing window over a 20-year period. Use the graph to determine which investment yields the highest return after 20 years. What are the differences in earnings among the three
investment?
STEP 1: The formula for compound interest is
A =
nt
= P(1 + − − ) n²,
where n is the number of compoundings per year, t is the number of years, r is the interest rate, P is the principal, and A is the amount (balance) after t years. For continuous compounding, the formula reduces to
A = Pert
Find r and n for each model, and use these values to write A in terms of t for each case.
Annual Model
r=0.10
A = Y(t) = 1150 (1.10)*
n = 1
Quarterly Model
r = 0.10
n = 4
A = Q(t) = 1150(1.025) 4t
Continuous Model
r=0.10
A = C(t) =…

- A tournament is a complete directed graph, for each pair of vertices x, y either (x, y) is an arc or (y, x) is an arc. One can think of this as a round robin tournament, where the vertices represent teams, each pair plays exactly once, with the direction of the arc indicating which team wins. (a) Prove that every tournament has a direct Hamiltonian path. That is a labeling of the teams V1, V2,..., Un so that vi beats Vi+1. That is a labeling so that team 1 beats team 2, team 2 beats team 3, etc. (b) A digraph is strongly connected if there is a directed path from any vertex to any other vertex. Equivalently, there is no partition of the teams into groups A, B so that every team in A beats every team in B. Prove that every strongly connected tournament has a directed Hamiltonian cycle. Use this to show that for any team there is an ordering as in part (a) for which the given team is first. (c) A king in a tournament is a vertex such that there is a direct path of length at most 2 to any…arrow_forwardUse a graphing utility to find the point of intersection, if any, of the graphs of the functions.

- The following is known. The complete graph K2t on an even number of vertices has a 1- factorization (equivalently, its edges can be colored with 2t - 1 colors so that the edges incident to each vertex are distinct). This implies that the complete graph K2t+1 on an odd number of vertices has a factorization into copies of tK2 + K₁ (a matching plus an isolated vertex). A group of 10 people wants to set up a 45 week tennis schedule playing doubles, each week, the players will form 5 pairs. One of the pairs will not play, the other 4 pairs will each play one doubles match, two of the pairs playing each other and the other two pairs playing each other. Set up a schedule with the following constraints: Each pair of players is a doubles team exactly 4 times; during those 4 matches they see each other player exactly once; no two doubles teams play each other more than once. (a) Find a schedule. Hint - think about breaking the 45 weeks into 9 blocks of 5 weeks. Use factorizations of complete…arrow_forward. The two person game of slither is played on a graph. Players 1 and 2 take turns, building a path in the graph. To start, Player 1 picks a vertex. Player 2 then picks an edge incident to the vertex. Then, starting with Player 1, players alternate turns, picking a vertex not already selected that is adjacent to one of the ends of the path created so far. The first player who cannot select a vertex loses. (This happens when all neighbors of the end vertices of the path are on the path.) Prove that Player 2 has a winning strategy if the graph has a perfect matching and Player 1 has a winning strategy if the graph does not have a perfect matching. In each case describe a strategy for the winning player that guarantees that they will always be able to select a vertex. The strategy will be based on using a maximum matching to decide the next choice, and will, for one of the cases involve using the fact that maximality means no augmenting paths. Warning, the game slither is often described…arrow_forwardLet D be a directed graph, with loops allowed, for which the indegree at each vertex is at most k and the outdegree at each vertex is at most k. Prove that the arcs of D can be colored so that the arcs entering each vertex must have distinct colors and the arcs leaving each vertex have distinct colors. An arc entering a vertex may have the same color as an arc leaving it. It is probably easiest to make use of a known result about edge coloring. Think about splitting each vertex into an ‘in’ and ‘out’ part and consider what type of graph you get.arrow_forward

- Burger Dome sells hamburgers, cheeseburgers, french fries, soft drinks, and milk shakes, as well as a limited number of specialty items and dessert selections. Although Burger Dome would like to serve each customer immediately, at times more customers arrive than can be handled by the Burger Dome food service staff. Thus, customers wait in line to place and receive their orders. Burger Dome analyzed data on customer arrivals and concluded that the arrival rate is 30 customers per hour. Burger Dome also studied the order-filling process and found that a single employee can process an average of 44 customer orders per hour. Burger Dome is concerned that the methods currently used to serve customers are resulting in excessive waiting times and a possible loss of sales. Management wants to conduct a waiting line study to help determine the best approach to reduce waiting times and improve service.

One person from the maintenance department provides the single-server repair service for the six machines. Management is now considering adding two machines to its manufacturing operation. This addition will bring the number of machines to eight. The president of Kolkmeyer asked for a study of the need to add a second employee to the repair operation.
