Why is rounding important when dividing a decimal by a whole number?

It important because when you round the decimal it helps you get closer to the whole then you can divide the whole and the other whole then you get your answer

What is the current value of a zero-coupon bond that pays a face value of $1,000 at maturity in 6 years if the appropriate disco
Zolol [24]

Answer:4

Step-by-step explanation:

A zero-coupon bond  doesn’t make any payments. Instead, investors purchase the zero-coupon bond for less than its face value, and when the bond matures, they receive the face value.

To figure the price you should pay for a zero-coupon bond, you'll follow these steps:

Divide your required rate of return by 100 to convert it to a decimal.

Add 1 to the required rate of return as a decimal.

Raise the result to the power of the number of years until the bond matures.

Divide the face value of the bond to calculate the price to pay for the zero-coupon bond to achieve your desired rate of return.

First, divide 4 percent by 100 to get 0.04. Second, add 1 to 0.04 to get 1.04. Third, raise 1.04 to the sixth power to get 1.2653. Lastly, divide the face value of $1,000 by 1.2653 to find that the price to pay for the zero-coupon bond is $790,32.

Represent real-world situations a rectangular piece of sheet metal is rolled and riveted to form a circular tube that is open at
Citrus2011 [14]
<span>12.3 Volume function: v(x) = ((18-x)(x-1)^2)/(4pi) Since the perimeter of the piece of sheet metal is 36, the height of the tube created will be 36/2 - x = 18-x. The volume of the tube will be the area of the cross section multiplied by the height. The area of the cross section will be pi r^2 and r will be (x-1)/(2pi). So the volume of the tube is v(x) = (18-x)pi((x-1)/(2pi))^2 v(x) = (18-x)pi((x-1)^2/(4pi^2)) v(x) = ((18-x)(x-1)^2)/(4pi) The maximum volume will happen when the value of the first derivative is zero. So calculate the first derivative: v'(x) = (x-1)(3x - 37) / (4pi) Convert to quadratic equation. (3x^2 - 40x + 37)/(4pi) = 0 3/(4pi)x^2 - (10/pi)x + 37/(4pi) = 0 Now calculate the roots using the quadratic formula with a = 3/(4pi), b = -10/pi, and c = 37/(4pi) The roots occur at x = 1 and x = 12 1/3. There are the points where the slope of the volume equation is zero. The root of 1 happens just as the volume of the tube is 0. So the root of 12 1/3 is the value you want where the volume of the tube is maximized. So the answer to the nearest tenth is 12.3</span>

You charge customers $18.75 for lube service, parts, and labor. Assuming you take one hour's labor at $15, and the parts cost $3
hram777 [196]
Let
T---------> <span>the tax rate on the parts in $

we know that
$18.75=$15+$3.50+$T
T=18.75-15-3.5
T=$0.25
so
$3.50----------> 100%
$0.25--------> x
x=0.25*100/3.50------> x=7.14%------> x=7.1%

the answer is
7.1%</span>

Geometry Values of a Kite
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

x=7

y=18

The length of each of the two shorter sides is 14.

The length of each of the two longer sides is 19.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+5 = x+12 and y-4 = x+5

Solve for x first

2x+5-5 = x+12-5 Subtract 5 from both sides to eliminate it.

2x-x = x-x+7 Subtract x from both sides to eliminate it.

x=7 Now, substitute 7 for x in y-4 = x+5 to solve for y.

y-4 = (7)+5

y-4 = 12

y-4+4 = 12+4 Add 4 to both sides to eliminate it.

y = 18

Finally, we can substitute 7 for x and 18 for y in all equations to see the lengths of each side.

(18)-4=14 The length of each of the two shorter sides is 14.

2(7)+5=19 The length of each of the two longer sides is 19.
