Her rate of speed is 2 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

In $\frac{5}{12}$ hours she walks $\frac{5}{6}$ miles.

To find the rate of speed.

We need to find out the speed in 1 hour.

We will apply <em>unitary method</em>.

In $\frac{5}{12}$ hours she walks $\frac{5}{6}$ miles.

In 1 hour she walks $\frac{5}{6}$ ÷ $\frac{5}{12}$ miles.

= $\frac{5}{6}$ × $\frac{5}{12}$ miles

= 2 miles

Hence,

Her rate of speed is 2 miles per hour.

Niki makes the same payment every two months to pay off his $61,600 loan. The loan has an interest rate of 9.84%, compounded eve

Alenkasestr [34]

The question is an annuity question with the present value of the annuity given.
The present value of an annuity is given by PV = P(1 - (1 + r/t)^-nt) / (r/t) where PV = $61,600; r = interest rate = 9.84% = 0.0984; t = number of payments in a year = 6; n = number of years = 11 years and P is the periodic payment.
61600 = P(1 - (1 + 0.0984/6)^-(11 x 6)) / (0.0984 / 6)
61600 = P(1 - (1 + 0.0164)^-66) / 0.0164
61600 x 0.0164 = P(1 - (1.0164)^-66)
1010.24 = P(1 - 0.341769) = 0.658231P
P = 1010.24 / 0.658231 = 1534.78
Thus, Niki pays $1,534.78 every two months for eleven years.
The total payment made by Niki = 11 x 6 x 1,534.78 = $101,295.48
Therefore, interest paid by Niki = $101,295.48 - $61,600 = $39,695.48

Suppose f(x)=x^2 what is the graph of g(x)=f(2x)

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Since g(x) = f(2x), this means we substitute 2x in place of x for f(x):

g(x) = f(2x) = (2x)² = 4x²

Graphing this, the parabola is not moved from the parent graph f(x) = x², but the graph is compressed horizontally by a factor of 4.Step-by-step explanation:
