$$\frac{C(30)}{30} = \frac{300 + 24 	imes 30}{30} = 34$$

Question 7

Suppose $$2,500 is $$invested at $$7	ext{\%}$$ compounded quarterly. How much money will be in the account after $$15$$ years?

Accepted Answer

$$A = 2,500 	imes (1 + 0.07/4$$)^{60}$$ \approx 7,200$$

Question 13

A mutual fund earns an average annual return of $$9.58\%$$ compounded annually. How long (to the nearest year) will it take for the money invested to double?

Accepted Answer

$$t = \frac{\ln 2}{\ln(1.0958)} \approx 8$$

Question 14

Given $$f(x) = \frac{x^2$ + 7x + 10}{x^2$ - x - 20}$$, find $$\lim_{x 	o 5} f(x).$$

Accepted Answer

$$\frac{50}{0} ($$undefined)
