If the simple interest on $4000 for 8 years is $2240, then what is the interest rate?

1 answer:

5 0

$~~~~~~ \textit{Simple Interest Earned} \\\\ I = Prt\qquad \begin{cases} I=\textit{interest earned}\dotfill & \$2240\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill & \$4000\\ r=rate\to r\%\to \frac{r}{100}\\ t=years\dotfill &8 \end{cases} \\\\\\ 2240 = (4000)(\frac{r}{100})(8) \implies 2240=\cfrac{32000r}{100}\implies 2240=320r \\\\\\ \cfrac{2240}{320}=r\implies 7=r$

The High Roller, a giant ferris wheel in Las Vagas, casts a 242-foot shadow. A 6’3” tall man standing nearby casts a 2 3/4-foot

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

550ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple napkin math, so you know what both shadows are you need to find how tall the High Roller is we will use X for this.

$\frac{242ft}{6'3"} x \frac{x}{2'9"}$

Im not 100% I set it up right but essentially 242 divided by 2'9" and that equals 88

Take 88 and multiply that by 6'3" and you get your Height for the High Roller

What I did their was I scaled the humans height to that of the High Roller dividing it gives you a number you can use to scale the height of that human to how it should scale to the High Roller, which is why I took 88 and multiplied it by the human's height.

Hope this helped :)

Help with my homework <br> Evaluate the exponent expression for a = 1 and b = –2.

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

-1/16

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the values where the variables are and do the arithmetic.

1 to any power is 1, so you can ignore all of the 'a' factors. That leaves ...

1/(2b^3) = 1/(2(-2)^3) = 1/(2(-8)) = -1/16

Without sketching the graph of the function, find the maximum value of y = - 5x + 4 over the interval - 4 <= x <= 3. Expla

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

$y_{max}=24$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function $y=-5x+4$ is linear function. This linear function represents the straight line on the coordinate plane. The slope of this line is $-5.$ Since the slope is negative, the linear function is decreasing for all x. This means

$\text{ if } x_1 f(x_2)$

You ar geven the interval $-4\le x\le 3.$ So, the maximum value of the function is at the point x=-4 and the minimum value of the function is at the point x=3.
