No. of boys=2x
no.of girls=x
total no. of pupils=2x+x
27=3x
27/3=x
x=no.of girls=9
no.of boys =2x=2*9=18

Let x = the numbers of girls
thus
the numbers of boys = 2x
x + 2x = 27
3x = 27
x = 9
2x = 2 . 9 =18
girls = 9 & boys = 18

A borrower had a loan of $ 60 comma 000.00 at 4 % compounded annually comma with 8 annual payments. Suppose the borrower paid of

quester [9]

Answer:

The amount needed to pay off the loan after 4 years is $70,192

Step-by-step explanation:

When interest is compounded annually, total amount A after t years is given by:

$A = P(1 + r)^{t}$

where P is the initial amount (principal), r is the rate and t is time in years.

From the question:

P = $60,000

r = 4% = 0.04

t = 4

$A = 60000(1 + 0.04)^{4} \\A = 60000(1.04)^{4}\\A = 60000 * 1.16985856\\A = 70191.5136\\A = 70192$

The amount needed to pay off the loan after 4 years is $70,192

If we divide the amount by four, we will get the amount that is paid yearly (70192/4 = 17548). $17,548 is paid yearly.

A torus is formed by rotating a circle of radius r about a line in the plane of the circle that is a distance R (> r) from th

jeyben [28]

Consider a circle with radius $r$ centered at some point $(R+r,0)$ on the $x$ -axis. This circle has equation

$(x-(R+r))^2+y^2=r^2$

Revolve the region bounded by this circle across the $y$ -axis to get a torus. Using the shell method, the volume of the resulting torus is

$\displaystyle2\pi\int_R^{R+2r}2xy\,\mathrm dx$

where $2y=\sqrt{r^2-(x-(R+r))^2}-(-\sqrt{r^2-(x-(R+r))^2})=2\sqrt{r^2-(x-(R+r))^2}$ .

So the volume is

$\displaystyle4\pi\int_R^{R+2r}x\sqrt{r^2-(x-(R+r))^2}\,\mathrm dx$

Substitute

$x-(R+r)=r\sin t\implies\mathrm dx=r\cos t\,\mathrm dt$

and the integral becomes

$\displaystyle4\pi r^2\int_{-\pi/2}^{\pi/2}(R+r+r\sin t)\cos^2t\,\mathrm dt$

Notice that $\sin t\cos^2t$ is an odd function, so the integral over $\left[-\frac\pi2,\frac\pi2\right]$ is 0. This leaves us with

$\displaystyle4\pi r^2(R+r)\int_{-\pi/2}^{\pi/2}\cos^2t\,\mathrm dt$

Write

$\cos^2t=\dfrac{1+\cos(2t)}2$

so the volume is

$\displaystyle2\pi r^2(R+r)\int_{-\pi/2}^{\pi/2}(1+\cos(2t))\,\mathrm dt=\boxed{2\pi^2r^2(R+r)}$
