Why is apr an important tool for consumers

Mathematics
1 answer:
My name is Ann [436]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

APR, or annual percentage rate, is your interest rate stated as a yearly rate. An APR for a loan can include fees you may be charged, like origination fees. APR is important because it can give you a good idea of how much you'll pay to take out a loan.

Use scientific notation to estimate the number of inches in 1,225 miles. Include all calculations in your final answer. 1 inch ≈
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

  7.763×10^7 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

  (1225\,mi)\dfrac{1\,in}{1.578\cdot 10^{-5}\,mi}=\dfrac{12.25}{1.578}\cdot 10^{2-(-5)}\,in \approx 7.763\cdot 10^7\,in

When writing 1225 in scientific notation, it is convenient to choose an exponent so that the division result comes out with the right scale factor. It is easy to see that 1.2 < 1.6, so use of numbers with exactly one digit to the left of the decimal point would result in a fraction as an answer. We want the answer to have 1 digit left of the decimal point, so by scaling the operands to be 12. and 1.6, we get that result. Of course, the powers of 10 are adjusted accordingly.

This scaling process only matters if you're computing the results by hand. Any calculator can properly keep track of the required exponents.

__

"Back in the day" when slide rules were the calculating tool of choice, the operands and answer to any multiplication or division problem were only shown as 3 (sometimes 4) significant digits. All of the power-of-ten scaling was done "by hand" (usually, mentally). That is, the division would be 1225/1578 ≈ 776 × some scale factor. This is where thinking of the numbers as 12.25/1.578 = 7.76 comes in handy.

10. Using the following arithmetic sequence, find the 29th term: –36, –32, –28, –24.
Mashcka [7]
<span>–36, –32, –28, –24  This is an arithmetic sequence because each term has the same difference from the preceding term, called the common difference, d...

-32--36=-28--32=-24--28=4  So 4 is d, the common difference.

The sequence of any arithmetic sequence has the form:

a(n)=a+d(n-1), a=first term, d=common difference, n=term number...in this case we have:

a(n)=-36+4(n-1)  

a(n)=-36+4n-4

a(n)=4n-40 so the 29th term is:

a(29)=4(29)-40

a(29)=116-40

a(29)=76

...

distance=velocity * time

d=vt  we want to find t so

t=d/v  and in this case:

t=234/70

t=(210+24)/70

t=3hr+(60*24)/70

t=3hr+20min+34sec so 

t≈3hr 20min

...

This is an arithmetic sequence...100,150,200...

The sum of an arithmetic sequence will always be the average of the first and last terms times the number of terms....

the rule for the sequence is:

a(n)=a+d(n-1),  a(n)=100+50d-50, a(n)=50n+50

Now we know the nth term is 50n+50, and we also know the first term is 100 so:

s(n)=n(100+50n+50)/2  and we want to know the sum of the first 10 terms so

s(10)=10(100+500+50)/2

s(10)=$3250

...

The first two terms are 2 and 4 so:

a(n)=2+2(n-1)

a(n)=2+2n-2

a(n)=2n

a(10)=20

...

You could do synthetic or long division, but you also could just use the fact that the factor being (x+8) should indicate a zero for the function when x=-8.  If f(x) could be divided by (x+8) the value of y(-8) would equal zero, however calculating y(-8)=-10  so that would be the remainder if you did the division.</span>

Two mechanics worked on a car. The first mechanic worked for 10 hours, and the second mechanic worked for 5 hours. Together they
sp2606 [1]

mechanic #1's rate = x

mechanic #2's rate = y

* Their rate is dollars per hour ($/hr)

mechanic #1 worked for 20 hours (hr × $/hr = $)

20x = money earned by mech#1

and mechanic #2 worked for 5 hours

5y = money earned by mech#2

together they charged a total of $1150. So the amount of money earned by both mechanics.

20x + 5y = 1150

the sum of the two rates was $95 per hour.

x + y = 95

which means

x = 95 - y

plug (95 - y) in for "x" in the other equation to get everything in terms of one variable.

20(95 - y) + 5y = 1150

solve for y

1900 - 20y + 5y = 1150

1900 - 15y = 1150

-15y = 1150 - 1900

-15y = -750

y = -750/-15

y = 50 $/hr

Now use this to solve for x

x + y = 95

x + 50 = 95

x = 95 - 50

x = 45 $/hr

mech#1 charged 45$/hr

mech #2 charged 50$/hr
