Answer:  D is the correct option. The extra cost paid by taking this deal is equivalent to the actual yearly rate of interest=36%


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Price of used truck bought by John=$4500

As John made an agreement with the dealer to put $1,500 down payment

Therefore the present value of annuity (PV)=$4500-$1500=$3000

with periodic payment=$350 , time =10 months

Using formula for present value of annuity, we get

PV=P[\frac{1-(1+r)^{-n}}{r}],\text{where r is the rate of interest per month}\\\\\Rightarrow3000=350[\frac{1-(1+r)^{-10}}{r}]\\\\\Rightarrow\frac{60}{7}=[\frac{1-(1+r)^{-10}}{r}]\\\\\Rightarrow\frac{60}{7}r=1-(1+r)^{-10}\\\\\Rightarrow\frac{60}{7}r=\frac{(1+r)^{10}-1}{(1+r)^{10}}\\\Rightarrow\frac{60}{7}r(1+r)^{10}=(1+r)^{10}-1\\\Rightarrow\frac{60}{7}r(1+r)^{10}-(1+r)^{10}+1=0

On solving the equation with the help of calculator ,we get r=0.029≈0.03=3%

Therefore, the actual yearly rate of interest= 12×3%=36%

10*350= 3500
Total amount paid- 1500+3500= 5000
So an amount of $5000 was paid to cover the cost of $4500 within the 10 month period.

So you answer is A. 33%

Determine if the graph is a function then state the domain and range.
nignag [31]
<h3><u>Explanation</u></h3>

A function is a set of relation that doesn't have repetitive domain. If we want to know if a graph is function or not, we have to do the line test.

<u>Line</u><u> </u><u>Test</u>

  1. Draw a vertical line. Make sure that a line passes through a graph.
  2. See if a line intercepts a graph more than one point or just only one.

<u>Result</u>

If a line intercepts a graph more than one point, it is not a function.

However, if a line only intercepts a graph just one point, it is indeed a function.

The given graph from the question is a function because it passes line test.

<u>Domain</u><u> </u><u>and</u><u> </u><u>Range</u>

Domain is the set of all x-values, meaning we only focus on x-axis or x-value only.

Range is the set of all y-values. We only focus on y-value or y-axis for Range.

<u>Determine</u><u> </u><u>Domain</u><u> </u><u>from</u><u> </u><u>Graph</u>

We can simply say that the domain is from starting domain or x-coordinate point to end x-coordinate point. For example, if a graph starts at x = -4 and ends at x = 2, we can say that - 4<=x=2.

<u>Determine</u><u> </u><u>Range</u><u> </u><u>from</u><u> </u><u>Graph</u>

Similar to Domain except Range starts from the minimum value or point to the maximum point or value. For example if a graph starts at min point = 6 and max point = 9. We can say that 6<=y<=9.

From the graph, the domain starts from negative infinity to positive infinity. Meaning that x can be any numbers. Hence, the domain is set of all real numbers. For range, the minimum value is 0 and max value is positive infinity. Therefore we write y>=0.

<h3><u>Answer</u></h3>

<u>\begin{cases} x \in  \mathbb{R} \\ y \geqslant 0 \end{cases}</u>

<u>Domain</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>set</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>all</u><u> </u><u>real</u><u> </u><u>numbers</u><u>.</u>

<u>Range</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>greater</u><u> </u><u>or</u><u> </u><u>equal</u><u> </u><u>to</u><u> </u><u>0</u><u>.</u>

Is 5:2 the same as 2:5
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

It is not the same

Step-by-step explanation:

Is 5/2 greater than 2/5? Is 5/2 bigger than 2/5? Is 5/2 larger than 2/5? These are all the same questions with one answer.

When comparing fractions such as 5/2 and 2/5, you could also convert the fractions (if necessary) so they have the same denominator and then compare which numerator is larger.        

  To get the answer, we first convert each fraction into decimal numbers. We do this by dividing the numerator by the denominator for each fraction as illustrated below: 5/2 = 2.5

2/5 = 0.4 Therefore, 5/2 is greater than 2/5 and the answer to the question "Is 5/2 greater than 2/5?" is yes.
