Answer:

1.75 %

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the future value (FV) of an investment is

FV =PV(1 + r/n)^nt

If the interest is calculated once a year, n = 1, and the formula reduces to

FV = PV(1 +r)^t

5550 = 5000(1 + r)⁶ Divide both sides by 5000

1.110 = (1+r)^6 Take the sixth root of each side

1 + r = 1.0175 Subtract 1 from each side

r = 0.0175 Convert to percent

r = 1.75 %

The interest rate is 1.75 %.

Scrat [10]

Take the amount that he pays for his mortgage, so $2042, and divide that by his total pay, $5950. You’ll get .34016907. Then to make a decimal into a percentage, you multiply it by 100. This gives you 34%, meaning he spends less than the national average on housing.

If f(x)=×^2+7x-5 and you divide by x-2, What is the quotient and remainder?

katrin [286]

Answer:

The quotient is : x+9

The remainder is : 13

Step-by-step explanation:

The question requires you to perform the long division method;

This will be;

$x-2\sqrt{x^2+7x-5}$

start with the x term in x-2 and the first term in the function, x², to get x then multiply the x with x-2 to get x²-2x and perform the operation below;

x-2√x²+7x-5 -----------to first get x and then multiply x*[x-2]⇒x²-2x

- x²-2x+0 ------------perform subtraction of like terms

---------------------

9x-5 ----now divide this answer by x-2 ,starting with x and 9x

----------------------This will give , 9 then multiply 9 by x-2 to get 9x-18 and perform the subtraction operation as;

9x-5

- 9x-18

------------------------

So the answer will be; x+9 remainder 13
