Using compound interest and a graphing calculator, it is found that it will take about 15 years for the loan to be paid off.

<h3>What is compound interest?</h3>

The amount of money earned, in compound interest, after t years, is given by:

A(t) = P\left(1 + \frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}

In which:

  • A(t) is the amount of money after t years.
  • P is the principal(the initial sum of money).
  • r is the interest rate(as a decimal value).
  • n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year.

For this problem, the parameters are given as follows:

A(0) = 95000, r = 0.06, n = 12.

Hence the value of the loan after t years is:

A(t) = P\left(1 + \frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}

A(t) = 95000\left(1 + \frac{0.06}{12}\right)^{12t}

A(t) = 95000(1.005)^{12t}

You have monthly payments of $1,200, hence the amount paid after t years is:

P(t) = 12 x 1,200t = 14400t

Then we have to solve for:

A(t) = P(t)

14400t = 95000(1.005)^{12t}

Which is solved in the graph below, meaning that it will take about 15 years for the loan to be paid off.

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, exterior angles on the same side of a traversal are supplementary a Hence, sums up to 180°

Given the angles:

7x° + 11x° + 90° = 180°

18x° + 90° = 180°

18x° = 180° - 90°

18x° = 90°

x = 90° ÷ 18

x = 5

Plz help me.............

Ok. 50 soda bottles are made in 2 minutes. We need to know how many could be made in 1. Dividing 2 by 2 gives us one minute. So if we divide 50 by 2, keeping the ratio the same, gives us 25. Thus, 25 bottles can be made in 1 minute. Hope that helps!!!
