F(t)
= t2 + 4t − 14
y + 14 + 4 = (
t2 + 4t +4)
y + 18 = ( t +
2)^2
so the vertex
of the parabola is ( -2 , -18)
<span>the axis of
symmetry is y = -18</span>
Answer:
It will take approximately 25 months
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount owed on the credit card statement, P = $2,000
The interest rate of the credit on the credit card, r = 18.9%
The minimum monthly payment made, M = $100
The equal monthly installment formula is given as follows;

Therefore, we get;

100×1.01575ⁿ - 100 = 31.50×1.01575ⁿ
100×1.01575ⁿ - 31.50×1.01575ⁿ = 100
68.5×1.01575ⁿ = 100
1.01575ⁿ = 100/68.5
n = ln(100/68.5)/ln(1.01575) ≈ 24.21 (which is approximately 25 months, by rounding up to the nearest whole number)
Therefore, it will take approximately 25 months to pay off the credit card debt
There is only one intercept at the origin - coordinates (0, 0).
