The amount which Brandon have saved in interest by consolidating the two balances on the card with the lower interest rate is $256.12.

<h3>What is monthly payment?</h3>

Monthly payment is the payment which has to paid against the loan amount or the borrowed money calculated with interest rate.

It can be calculated with the following formula.

M=P\left (\dfrac{r}{1-(1+r)^{-nt}}\right)

Here, (<em>P</em>) is the principal amount, (<em>r</em>) is the interest rate and (<em>t</em>) is time.

Brandon has two credit cards and would like to consolidate the two balances into one balance on the card with the lower interest rate.

The table below shows the information about the two credit cards Brandon currently uses.    

  • Cards                Amount              APR             Monthly Payment
  • Card a               $1,463.82              13%                 $24.60
  • Card b               $1,157.98               17%                 $22.14

               

Interest rate for the card a is,

r=\dfrac{13}{12\times100}=0.01083

The time period is 8 years and there are 12 months in one year. Thus, the monthly payment of card A will be,

M=1157.98\left (\dfrac{0.01083}{1-(1+0.01083)^{-12(8)}}\right)\\M=19.47

In the 8 years, there is total 96 monthly payments. Thus, the total payment by card A is,

P_a=19.47\times96=1869.12

For the card B the monthly payment is $22.14. Thus the total payment by card B is,

P_b=22.14\times96=2125.44

The difference in the payment is,

d=2125.44-1869.12\\d=256.12

Hence, the amount which Brandon have saved in interest by consolidating the two balances on the card with the lower interest rate is $256.12.

Given f(x) = x − 7 and g(x) = x2 . Find g(f(−1)).
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

64

Step-by-step explanation:

g(f(-1)) can be found by first finding f(-1) then taking that result and putting it into the function g.

f(-1) means we are going to take the expression x-7 and evaluate it for x=-1:  

-1-7

-8

So f(-1)=-8.

So we have this so far:

g(f(-1))=g(-8)=(-8)^2=64.

g(-8) was found by replacing x in x^2 with -8.
