Answer:

$20 and 4%

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we are to calculate the amount of euro in dollars. The amount he is supposed to exchange to initially is; 400 * 1.25 = $500

Now he changed for 400 * 1.2 =480

The amount of dollars he received fewer will be 500-480 = $20

We now also calculate the % loss.

That would be 20/500 *100 = 4%

Triangle S R Q is shown. Angle S R Q is a right angle. An altitude is drawn from point R to point T on side S Q to form a right

juin [17]

Answer:

RT = 12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

ΔSRQ is right triangle.

m∠R = 90°

An altitude has been constructed from point T to side SQ.

m∠RTQ = 90°

By applying geometric mean theorem in triangle SRQ,

$\frac{\text{RT}}{\text{ST}}=\frac{\text{TQ}}{\text{RT}}$

$\frac{x}{9}=\frac{16}{x}$

x² = 16 × 9

x² = 144

x = √144

x = 12

Therefore, length of altitude RT is 12 units.

The equation 4x2 – 24x + 4y2 + 72y = 76 is equivalent to

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

Option 4 is correct.

The equation $4x^2 -24x + 4y^2 + 72y = 76$ is equivalent to $4(x-3)^2 + 4(y+9)^2 =436$

Step-by-step explanation:'

Given equation: $4x^2 -24x + 4y^2 + 72y = 76$

First group the terms with x and those with y;

$(4x^2-24x)+(4y^2+72y) = 76$

Next, we complete the squares.

We can do this by adding a third term such that the x terms and the y terms are perfect squares.

For this we must either add the same value on the other side of the equation or subtract the same value on the same side so that the equality is maintained.

⇒ $4(x^2-6x) +4(y+18y) = 76$

or

$4(x^2 -6x +3^2 -3^2) + 4(y^2 +18y +9^2 -9^2) = 76$

$4(x^2-6x + 3^2) - 36 + 4(y^2+18y +9^2) - 324 = 76$

$4(x-3)^2 + 4(y+9)^2 - 360 =76$

Add 360 on both sides we get;

$4(x-3)^2 + 4(y+9)^2 =360 +76$

Simplify:

$4(x-3)^2 + 4(y+9)^2 =436$

Therefore, the given equation is equivalent to $4(x-3)^2 + 4(y+9)^2 =436$

Consider a home mortgage of $225,000 at a fixed APR of 4.5 % for 30 years. a. Calculate the monthly payment. b. Determine the

White raven [17]

<u>The formula for the monthly payment</u>.....

$M= \frac{P(1+r)^nr}{[(1+r)^n] -1}$ , where P = the principal amount, r = the monthly interest rate and n = the total number of months.

Here annual interest rate is given as 4.5%

So, the monthly interest rate $=\frac{4.5\%}{12}= 0.375\% = 0.00375$

Total number of months $= (30*12)months=360 months$

Also given that, the principal amount is $225000

a. So, the monthly payment will be.....

$M= \frac{P(1+r)^nr}{[(1+r)^n] -1}\\ \\ M= \frac{225000(1+0.00375)^3^6^0*0.00375}{(1+0.00375)^3^6^0 -1}\\ \\ M= \frac{225000(1.00375)^3^6^0*0.00375}{(1.00375)^3^6^0 -1} \\ \\ M \approx 1140$

Thus, the monthly payment will be approximately $1140

b. The <u>total amount paid</u> over the term of the loan will be: $\$ 1140*360 months = \$ 410400$

c. As the principal amount was $225000 , so the amount of interest $= (\$ 410400- \$ 225000)= \$ 185400$

So, the percentage of amount that is paid toward the principal $=\frac{225000}{410400}*100\% =54.82\%$

and the percentage of amount that is paid toward the interest $=\frac{185400}{410400}*100\%=45.18\%$

2x² - 5x+1 has roots alpha and beta. Find alpha⁴+beta⁴ without solving the equation.

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\alpha+\beta=\dfrac{5}{2} \\\\\alpha*\beta=\dfrac{1}{2} \\\\\alpha^2+\beta^2=\dfrac{21}{4} \ (see\ previous\ post)\\\\(\alpha+\beta)^4=\dfrac{625}{16} \\\\=\alpha^4+\beta^4+4*\alpha^3*\beta+6*\alpha^2*\beta^2+4*\alpha*\beta^3\\\\=\alpha^4+\beta^4+4*(\alpha*\beta)(\alpha^2+\beta^2)+6*\alpha^2*\beta^2\\\\\alpha^4+\beta^4=(\alpha+\beta)^4-4*(\alpha*\beta)(\alpha^2+\beta^2)-6*\alpha^2*\beta^2\\\\= \dfrac{625}{16} -4*\dfrac{1}{2} *\dfrac{21}{4} -6*(\dfrac{1}{2})^2 \\\\$

$= \dfrac{625}{16}- \dfrac{168}{16}-\dfrac{24}{16}\\\\\\= \dfrac{433}{16}$
