a a. An increase in i, the interest rate, will not change P, the monthly payment. b. An increase in i, the interest rate, will create an increase in P, the monthly payment. c. An increase in i, the interest rate, will create a decrease in P, the monthly payment. d. An increase in i, the interest rate, can increase or decrease P, the monthly payment, depending on the value of PV.

Answer:

B. An increase in i, the interest rate, will create an increase in P, the monthly payment.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the formula for the monthly payment as,

P=\frac{i \times PV}{1-(1+i)^{-n} },

where P = monthly payment, i = rate of interest, PV = present value and n = time period.

Now, as i increase we get that (1+i) increases and so (1+i)^{n} increases.

This gives us that, \frac{1}{(1+i)^{n} } decreases and so 1-\frac{1}{(1+i)^{n}} decreases

Therefore, \frac{1}{1-(1+i)^{-n} } increases.

So, we get that as i increases , the value of P will increase.

Hence, option B is correct.

Answer:

Option B is the correct answer -  An increase in i, the interest rate, will create an increase in P, the monthly payment.

Step-by-step explanation:

The monthly payment formula is

p=\frac{r(PV)}{1-(1+r)^{-n} }

where p = monthly payment, r = rate of interest, n = time period and PV = present value.

Here 'r' is proportional to p. When r increases, p increases and vice versa.

Hence, option B is correct.

Summing up in simple language, we always see, when the rate of interest is higher, the installments are higher and when rate is lower the monthly installments are less.

Based on only the information given in the diagram, which congruence postulates or theorems can be given as reasons why triangle
Lapatulllka [165]

Let's go through the choices.

A. HL, hypotenuse-leg. Yes we have a right triangle with congruent hypotenuse and leg which gives us congruent triangles, CHECK

B. HA, hypotenuse actute. Yes we have a right triangle witha congruent hypotenuse and acute angle, so congruent triangles, CHECK.

C. LL. leg leg. We don't know HL=PE so we can't use this theorem here. NO.

D. SAS, side angle side. For this one we first have to prove angle HEL is congruent to angle PME which is easily done with the Triangle Angle theorem (two congruent angles means three congruent angles) and then we can use SAS because then we have congruent sides and a congruent included angle. This one's a judgement call, I'll say NO because of the two steps.

E. AAS. Angle Angle Side, yes we have two congruent angles and a side. CHECK

F. ASA. Again we need an additional step before we conclude two angles and an included side are congruent. So again a judgement call, we'll go with NO.

The length of the observable universe is.
alekssr [168]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Organizations like NASA who explore space and planets often have to deal with measurement of very long distances such as the one stated above. The Major challenge with the distance written in the format expressed above is the difficulty to read, state or use in mathematical calculations as it is too explicit. A more effective method is to express this distance in standard format and more suitable long distant units such as miles.

For instance;

880,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kilometers could be expressed as in standard form as ;

8.8 * 10^23 km
