Given a mortgage of $288,000 at 3% for 30 years, how much of the first monthly payment is Interest?

Abdullah and Kanna are working on the same problem.

Leona [35]

Answer:

Abdullah is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The bottle contained originally 12 fl oz, so 12 fl oz is 100%.

The box now contains 20% more, so now it contains 120% of 12 fl oz.

120% * 12 fl oz = 1.2 * 12 fl oz = 14.4 fl oz

Also, 20% is 1/5. Abdullah divided 12 oz into 5 equal parts, and then he added one more 1/5. He interpreted the problem correctly. The amount in the new bottle is the amount of the old bottle plus 20% of that old amount.

Kanna considers the original amount to be 80%. When he adds another 20%, he is adding 1/4 of 12 which is too much. That is why he gets an incorrect answer that is to high. He interpreted the problem incorrectly. For him, the old bottle has 20% less than the new bottle. That is incorrect.

Abdullah is correct.

You throw two four-sided dice. Let the random variable X represent the maximum value of the two dice. Compute E(X). Round your a

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

E(X)=3.125

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that two four sided dice.

Then , the sample space

{(1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(2,4),(3,1),(3,2),(3,3),(3,4),(4,1),(4,2),(4,3),(4,4)}

Total number of outcomes=16

Let the random variable X represent the maximum value of the two dice

Outcomes X P(X)

(1,1) 1 1/16

(1,2),(2,1),(2,2) 2 3/16

(1,3),(2,3),(3,1),(3,2),(3,3) 3 5/16

(1,4),(3,4) ,(2,4),(4,1),(4,2),(4,3),(4,4) 4 7/16

Using the probability formula

$P(E)=\frac{Favorable\;outcomes}{Total\;number\;of\;outcomes}$

Now,

$E(X)=\sum_{i=1}^{n}x_iP(x_i)$

$E(x)=1(1/16)+2(3/16)+3(5/16)+4(7/16)$

$E(x)=\frac{1+6+15+28}{16}$

$E(x)=\frac{50}{16}=3.125$

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 10 ft long. the shorter leg is 2ft shorter than the longer leg. find the side lengths of t

Gwar [14]

Since we have two possible pieces of information and 2 items to solve for, we know this is a system of equations.
Our first piece of information is that our shorter leg (s) is 2 feet shorter than our longer leg (l). This can be written as s=l-2.
Our second piece of information is that using the Pythagorean theorem that our shorter leg squared plus our longer leg squared is equal to our hypotenuse squared. This can be represented by s^2+l^2=10^2. Now we can solve.
We have already isolated for s in our first equation, so we can substitute l-2 in.
(l-2)^2+l^2=10^2
l-2+l=10
2l-2=10
2l=12
l=6
Now we can substitute in for s in our simpler equation
s=6-2
s=4
We now know that using our knowledge of systems of equations, the side lengths of this right angle triangle are 6 and 4.

The angle of elevation of the top of a tower from a point 100m away is 45 degrees. What is the height of the tower to the neares

OLEGan [10]

<h3>Answer: 100 meters</h3>

===========================================

Explanation:

If you draw out the diagram, then you'll find that a 45-45-90 triangle forms. The nice thing about this type of triangle is that the two legs are always the same length. The horizontal leg is 100 meters, so the vertical leg must also be 100 meters.

Side note: this type of triangle is an isosceles right triangle.

---------

You could use the tangent rule to get the same thing

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(45) = 100/x

1 = 100/x

1*x = 100

x = 100

In this case, the opposite leg is the vertical leg since it is furthest from the angle of elevation.
