These 'l l' lines mean absolute value. essentially it's asking how many units away from 0 a number is. Because of this all absolute values are positive numbers
l-18l=18
In mathematics, an inverse function (or anti-function) is a function that "reverses" another function: if the function f applied to an input x gives a result of y, then applying its inverse function g to y gives the result x, and vice versa, f(x) = y if and only if g(y) = x.
We are given
P = $754.43
r = 13.6% annual
for a.
A = 150
for b.
A = 300
First, change the interest into effective monthly
i = (1 + 0.136/12)^12 - 1
Solve for i
Next, use the general formula
A = P i ( 1 + i)^n / (1 + 1)^n - 1
Subsitute P, i, and A for a and b.
Then, solve for n for a and b.
$45.50
2 bags = $7
13 bags=?
7÷2=3.5
3.50=1 bag
$3.50 × 13 bags = $45.50 for 13 bags of Doritos
