Q4. a. An investor invested a total of Tk 13000 in a two-part mutual fund; one part
is more risky than the other, but pays a higher return. The investor has
forgotten how much was invested in each part of the fund, but knows that they
paid 3% and 8.5% last year, and that the total income from the investment was
Tk 985. Compute how much must have been invested at each rate.
b. An animal feed is made from three ingredients: corn, soybeans, and
cottonseed. One unit of each ingredient provides units of protein, fat, and fiber
as shown in the table. How many units of each ingredients should be used to
make a feed that contains 22 units of protein, 28 units of fat, and 18 units of
fiber?

modeled by the recursively defined sequence.
a1  1.3
an  2.71an1  0.15an21 , for n  2
i. Give a table of values for n = 1, 2, 3, . . . , 10.
ii. Graph the sequence. Describe what happens to population density.
Q10. Mr. Anwar must pay a lump sum of Tk. 7200 in 4 year.
i. What amount deposited today (present value) at 3.2% compounded annually
will grow to Tk. 7200 in 4 year?
ii. If only Tk. 6200 is available to deposit now, what annual interest rate is
necessary for the money to increase to Tk. 7200 in 4 year?
