- Compare the interest earned from #1 (where simple interest was used) to #5 (where compound interest was used). The principal, annual interest rate, and time were all the same; the only difference was that for #5, interest was compounded quarterly. Does the difference in interest earned make sense? Select one of the following statements. a. No, because more money should have been earned through simple interest than compound interest. b. Yes, because more money was earned through simple interest. For simple interest you earn interest on interest, not just on the amount of principal. c. No, because more money was earned through simple interest. For simple interest you earn interest on interest, not just on the amount of principal. d. Yes, because more money was earned when compounded quarterly. For compound interest you earn interest on interest, not just on the amount of principal.arrow_forwardReduce the matrix to reduced row-echelon form.

Simple interest and compound interest formulas both yield principal plus interest, so you must subtract the principal to get the amount of interest. b. Simple interest formula yields principal plus interest, so you must subtract the principal to get the amount of interest; Compound interest formula yields only interest, which you must add to the principal to get the final amount. c. Simple interest formula yields only interest, which you must add to the principal to get the final amount; Compound interest formula yields principal plus interest, so you must subtract the principal to get the amount of interest. d. Simple interest and compound interest formulas both yield only interest, which you must add to the principal to get the final amount.arrow_forward

If the limit does not exist, write DNE: Hint: Remember the first thing you check when you are looking at a limit of a quotient is the limit value of the denominator. 1. If the denominator does not go to 0, you should be able to right down the answer immediately. 2. If the denominator goes to 0, but the numerator does not, you will have to check the sign (±) of the quotient, from both sides if the limit is not one-sided. 3. If both the numerator and the denominator go to 0, you have to do the algebraic trick of rationalizing. So, group your limits into these three forms and work with them one group at a time.
