We would apply the formula for determining simple interest which is expressed as

I = PRT/100

I is the interest

P is the principal or initial amount

R = interest rate

T = time in years

From the information given,

P = 1200

r = 18

Since there are 12 months in a year,

T = 9/12 = 0.75

Thus,

I = (1200 x 18 x 0.75)/100

Interest = $162

Answer:

x = -6 x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 +x -30 =0

Factor

What two numbers multiply to -30 and add to 1

6 * -5 = -30

6-5 =1

(x+6) (x-5) =0

Using the zero product property

x+6 =0 x-5=0

x+6-6=0-6 x-5+5=0+5

x = -6 x=5

You have a wire that is 38 cm long. You wish to cut it into two pieces. One piece will be bent into the shape of a square. The o

Drupady [299]

Answer:16.71 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Length of wire L=38 cm

One piece is bent in the form of square and another in the form of circle

let x be the length of circle

therefore length of square side $\frac{38-x}{4}$

A=total area of square and circle

radius of circle $r=\frac{x}{2\pi }$

area of circle $A_c=\pi r^2=\pi \times (\frac{x}{2\pi })^2$

Area of square $A_s=(\frac{38-x}{4})^2$

$A=\pi \times (\frac{x}{2\pi })^2+(\frac{38-x}{4})^2$

To get the minimum value of A we get

$\frac{\mathrm{d} A}{\mathrm{d} x}=\frac{2x}{4\pi }-\frac{2(38-x)}{16}$

$\frac{\mathrm{d} A}{\mathrm{d} x}=0$

$\frac{x}{4\pi }=\frac{38-x}{16}$

$x=\frac{38\pi }{4+\pi }$

Therefore circumference of circle

$x=\frac{38\pi }{4+\pi }=\frac{119.396}{7.142}=16.717 cm$
