What does it mean to say we have a base ten system? Be specific. Use examples.

Mathematics
1 answer:
NeTakaya3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

This means that the decimal system is responsible for representing quantities using ten different digits.

Step-by-step explanation:

This means that the decimal system is responsible for representing quantities using ten different digits: 0 (zero), 1 (one), 2 (two), 3 (three), 4 (four), 5 (five ), 6 (six), 7 (seven), 8 (eight) and 9 (nine).

The digits acquire their value according to the relative position they occupy. This position, in turn, depends on the base in question. It has the powers of the number ten as a base. Thus: 10 raised to 0 is equal to 1; 10 raised to 1 is equal to 10; 10 raised to 2 equals 100; etc.

The number 123, for example, has three figures. In the decimal system, it is constructed as follows, respecting the corresponding positions:

(1 x 10 raised to 2) + (2 x 10 raised to 1) + (3 x 10 raised to 0)

(1 x 100) + (2 x 10) + (3 x 1)

100 + 20 + 3

123

As you can see, from right to left, the first place corresponds to the unit (10 raised to 0), the second place corresponds to the ten (10 raised to 1) and the third place corresponds to the hundred (10 raised to 2 ).

Hope this helps!

A series of quarterly payments of P1,300 each at the first payment is due at 4 years, and the last payment at the end of 12 year
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

The Value of Payments is  P18,557.15

Step-by-step explanation:

The quarterly payment is an annuity payment.

Use the following formula to calculate the present value of the payments.

PV of Annuity = Annuity Payment x ( 1 - ( 1 + interest rate )^-Numbers of periods ) / Interest rates

Where

Annuity Payment = Quarterly payment = P1,300

Interest rate = 5.12% x 3/12 = 1.375%

Numbers of periods = 4 years x 12/3 = 16 quarters

PV of Annuity = Value of Payments  = ?

Placing values in the formula

Value of Payments = P1,300 x ( 1 - ( 1 + 1.375% )^-16 ) / 1.375%

Value of Payments =  P18,557.15
