3x² - 21
Factor 3 from both terms:
3 (x² - 7)
To me, that's as far as you should need to go. But if you want to get
completely carried away, you could go one step further, since you have
the difference of two squares:
3 (x + √7) (x - √7)
Of course, there's no end now, because the last binomial could be
considered another difference of two squares, so you'd have to
factor that too:
3 (x + √7) (√x + ⁴√7) (√x - ⁴√7)
but to me, this would be nonsense.
-$69.68 is your answer if I hope that this is correct.
Answer:
x=5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
k=4/5
3 and 5 can go into 15
10/15 and 12/15
10/15 divided by x =12/15
x=5/6
Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
20 divided by 4 = 5 and times it from there
<span>B(n) = A(1 + i)^n - (P/i)[(1 + i)^n - 1]
where B is the balance after n payments are made, i is the monthly interest rate, P is the monthly payment and A is the initial amount of loan.
We require B(n) = 0...i.e. balance of 0 after n months.
so, 0 = A(1 + i)^n - (P/i)[(1 + i)^n - 1]
Then, with some algebraic juggling we get:
n = -[log(1 - (Ai/P)]/log(1 + i)
Now, payment is at the beginning of the month, so A = $754.43 - $150 => $604.43
Also, i = (13.6/100)/12 => 0.136/12 per month
i.e. n = -[log(1 - (604.43)(0.136/12)/150)]/log(1 + 0.136/12)
so, n = 4.15 months...i.e. 4 payments + remainder
b) Now we have A = $754.43 - $300 = $454.43 so,
n = -[log(1 - (454.43)(0.136/12)/300)]/log(1 + 0.136/12)
so, n = 1.54 months...i.e. 1 payment + remainder
