I’m guessing A? Sorry if it’s wrong!
Trig ratios can only be used on right triangles with acute measures.
If given an angle and there are adjacent and opposite sides, then use tan(opposite/adjacent)
If given an angle and there is an adjacent side and a hypotenuse, then use cosine(adjacent/hypotenuse)
If given an angle and there is an opposite and adjacent side, then use sin(opposite/hypotenuse)
A common mnemonic device used to memorize the trig rules is SOH-CAH-TOA
Marilyn's finance charge at the end of the first month will be
$991.38 × 0.199/12 = $16.44
The balance subject to the next month's finance charge will be
$991.38 +16.44 -410.00 = $597.82
The finance charge at the end of the second month will be
$597.82 × 0.199/12 = $9.91
The balance remaining after the second payment will be
$597.82 +9.91 -410.00 = $197.73
The finance charge applied at the end of the third month is
$197.73 × .199/12 = $3.28
so Marilyn can make one final payment of
$197.73 +3.28 = $201.01
to pay off the balance.
In all, Marilyn has paid 2×$410.00 +201.01 =
$1021.01 . . . . . . . . corresponds to the first choice_____
In real life, Marilyn's credit card may not accrue any finance charge until after the first statement on which the charge appears. Thus the total cost of the purchase may be only $1004.02. The attached spreadsheet shows the beginning balance and the finance charges for each month for the two different scenarios.
0.5(2x+2)=-4
Multiply by 2 on both sides
2x+2=-8
Subtract 2 on both sides
2x=-10
Divide by 2 on both sides
x=-5
