The lines y equals=3x minus−1 and y equals=ax plus+2 are perpendicular if aequals=_______.

1 answer:

3 0

Since perpendicular lines have their slopes as negative reciprocals, the negative reciprocal of the given slope (3) is -1/3. Therefore the a value is -1/3.

Write the first 4 terms of the arithmetic sequence With first term 37 and common difference 9

alexandr402 [8]

Answers:

first term = 37

second term = 46

third term = 55

fourth term = 64

==========================================

Explanation:

Start at 37. Add 9 to this term to get the second term. Add 9 to that result to get the next term, and so on.

first term = 37

second term = 37+9 = 46

third term = 46+9 = 55

fourth term = 55+9 = 64

-----------

The nth term formula is

a(n) = 9n+28

It can be found by plugging a = 37 and d = 9 into the general form

a(n) = a + d*(n-1)

Henry buys a large boat for the summer, however he cannot pay the full amount of $32,000 at

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

Monthly payments=$418.14

Total amount will be=down payment + 48×$418.14

$14000+$20070.84=$34070.84

Step-by-step explanation:

Loan payment per month=Amount to pay÷discount factor

Mathematically P=A÷D

where D is the discount factor calculated using the formula;

$\frac{(1+i)^n-1}{i(1+i)^n}$

where i=periodic interest rate=annual rate divided by number of payment periods

A is the amount to pay after downpayment

P is the loan monthly payment amount

n=number of periodic payments=payments per year times number of years

⇒In this question you find the discount factor then divide the amount remaining to pay with the discount factor to get monthly payments

Given;

Cost of boat=$32000

Down payment=$14000

Loan to pay=$32000-$14000=$18000

Annual rate=5.5%=i=5.5%÷12=0.458%⇒0.00458

Periodic payments, n=4×12=48

Finding the discount factor D;

$D=\frac{(1+i)^n-1}{i(1+i)^n} \\\\\\D=\frac{(1+0.00458)^{48} -1}{0.00458(1+0.00458)^{48} } \\\\\\D=\frac{1.2455-1}{0.005703} \\\\\\D=\frac{0.2455}{0.005703} =43.05$
