Answer:

width of the border is 3 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

size = 8 inches by 10 inches

area = 144 square inches

to find out

width of the border

solution

first we consider width of border is x

area of new full rectangle =  (8 + 2x ) × ( 10 + 2x )

so we know  area of photo = 8 × 10 = 80 square inches

and area of border = 144 square inches that is given

so new area of photo with the border is 80 + 144 = 224 square inches

and we can say that

area of full rectangle  - area of the photograph = Area of Border

(8 + 2x) × (10 + 2x) – (80) = 144  square inches

80 + 16x + 20x + 4x^{2} – 80 = 144

4x^{2} + 36x – 144 = 0

solve thios equation we get  

2x^{2} + 9x – 36 = 0

solve thios equation we get  

(x + 12) (x – 3) = 0  

so here x have two value one is negative and other is positive

so we consider only positive value

x = -12 or x = 3

width of the border is 3 inches

HELP!
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

74676.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets try multiplying 127 by 294 ( 127 is a prime number):

127 * 294 = 37338.

37338 / 196 = 190.5

37338 * 2 = 74676  which will now be divisible by 196.

74676 will be divisible by 98, 49 and 7 (because they are factors of  196).

It is also divisible by 84 ( to give 889) and therefore by 42, 28, 21, 14, 12,  6, 4, 3 , 2 and 1 which are all factors of 84.

Describe the effect an increase in i, the interest rate applied to the present value, has on the monthly payment P in the formul
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

B. An increase in i, the interest rate, will create an increase in P, the monthly payment.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the formula for the monthly payment as,

P=\frac{i \times PV}{1-(1+i)^{-n} },

where P = monthly payment, i = rate of interest, PV = present value and n = time period.

Now, as i increase we get that (1+i) increases and so (1+i)^{n} increases.

This gives us that, \frac{1}{(1+i)^{n} } decreases and so 1-\frac{1}{(1+i)^{n}} decreases

Therefore, \frac{1}{1-(1+i)^{-n} } increases.

So, we get that as i increases , the value of P will increase.

Hence, option B is correct.
