To start to figure this problem out, we can first figure out how many more pages you read in an hour compared to your sister.
50 - 40 = 10, so you read 10 more pages in 1 hour.
Now we have to figure out how much more you would read in 1/2 an hour. Since 1/2 an hour is 1/2 of an hour, we can divide 10 by 2 to figure out how many more pages you read in an hour compared to your sister. 10 divided by 2 is 5, so you read 5 more pages every half hour.
Answer:
The zeros are the points where the parabola intercepts the x-axis.
where a is some constant
If the parabola passes through point (3, 4) then:
So the equation of the parabola is:
Or in standard form:
The answer would be the first choice. 
Explanation: The reason for this is that the question was pretty much just asking what the area of the resulting two-dimensional cross section would be -the shape in gray- (which can be found by using the formula 
. To add on, since the dimensions of the shape are already given (5 and 3) all you've to do is multiply: 3*5=15
That's how you get to the answer.
Answer:
x=19
Step-by-step explanation:
In an installment loan, a lender loans a borrower a principal amount P, on which the borrower will pay a yearly interest rate of i (as a fraction, e.g. a rate of 6% would correspond to i=0.06) for n years. The borrower pays a fixed amount M to the lender q times per year. At the end of the n years, the last payment by the borrower pays off the loan.
After k payments, the amount A still owed is
<span>A = P(1+[i/q])k - Mq([1+(i/q)]k-1)/i,
= (P-Mq/i)(1+[i/q])k + Mq/i.
</span>The amount of the fixed payment is determined by<span>M = Pi/[q(1-[1+(i/q)]-nq)].
</span>The amount of principal that can be paid off in n years is<span>P = M(1-[1+(i/q)]-nq)q/i.
</span>The number of years needed to pay off the loan isn = -log(1-[Pi/(Mq)])/(q log[1+(i/q)]).
The total amount paid by the borrower is Mnq, and the total amount of interest paid is<span>I = Mnq - P.</span>
