The difference between a fixed rate and an adjustable rate mortgage is that, for fixed rates the interest rate is set when you take out the loan and will not change. With an adjustable rate mortgage, the interest rate may go up or down. Many ARMs will start at a lower interest rate than fixed rate mortgages.
Let b>a,
a+b=40 so we can say a=40-b
We are told that b-a=6.5, using a found above in the equation gives us:
b-(40-b)=6.5
b-40+b=6.5
2b-40=6.5
2b=46.5
b=23.25, and since a=40-b
a=40-23.25
a=16.75
So a=16.75 and b=23.25
check...
16.75+23.25=40, 40=40
23.25-16.75=6.5, 6.5=6.5
Answer:
c
Step-by-step explanation:
an exponential function of the form
y = a
to find a and b use ordered pairs from the table
using (0, 0.5 ) , then
0.5 = a
[
= 1 ] , then
a = 0.5
so y = 0.5
using (1, 2 ) , then
2 = 0.5
= 0.5b ( divide both sides by 0.5 )
4 = b
then exponential function represented by the table is
y = 0.5
