Answer:

They would be paying a total of $62,005.34¢

Step-by-step explanation:

  In order to calculate the total amount that an average American who borrowed the sum will pay, we will be making use of the compound interest formula since the interest on the loan given to an average American is compounded monthly.

 Formula for compound interest is:

  Fv = Pv × (1 + r/n)^n×t

Where,

           Fv = future value (the total amount that an American will pay)

           Pv = present value (initial amount borrowed)

           r = rate of interest

           n = number of times of compounding in a year

           t = time (period a loan will run)

 

 Here,

         Pv = 4,878

          r = 12.78% or 0.1278

         n = 12(every month)

         t = 20

  Substituting appropriately we will have:

  Fv = 4,878 × [1 + (0.1278/12)]^12×20

       = 4,878 × (1 + 0.01065)^240

       = 4,878 × (1.01065)^240

       = 4,878 × 12.7112213

       = $62,005.34¢

 Therefore, the total amount that an American who borrowed that initial amount will be paying after a period of 20 years is $62,005.34¢

Answer:

$62,005.34

Step-by-step explanation:

If the interest rate is 12.78% compounded monthly, we can use the formula a = p(1+r/n)^nt

where a is the final value to be paid, p is the inicial value, r is the interest rate, n is the number of months in a year and t is the time in years

So, the total debt will be:

y = 4878 * (1+0.1278/12)^240 = $62,005.34

Option a. 11 is the right answer

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of a function on particular input, the value is put in the function in place of variable

Given function is:

f(x) = \left \{ {{3x-7\ \ \ x>0} \atop {2x+3\ \ \  x

As we have to find f(6) and x>0 the part of function 3x-7 will be used

so,

f(6) = 3(6)-7\\= 18-7\\=11

Hence,

Option a. 11 is the right answer

Which expressions below are equivalent to
Yuri [45]

Answer:

<h2>A, B, D, E</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

2(2x + 1) = (2)(2x) + (2)(1) = 4x + 2 → A

<em>used distributive property</em>

2(2x + 1) = 2(1 + 2x) → B

<em>used commutative property</em>

2(2x + 1) = (2x + 1) + (2x + 1) = 2x + 1 + 2x + 1 → D

<em>used 2a = a + a</em>

2(2x + 1) = 4x + 2 = x + x + x + x + 1 + 1 → E

<em>used 4x = x + x + x + x and 2 = 1 + 1</em>

Write a recursive formula for a n a n , the n th n th term of the sequence 6 , − 12 , 24 , . . .
Anton [14]

Answer:

See below ↓↓

Step-by-step explanation:

a₁ refers to the first term of the sequence.

That is clearly : a₁ = <u>6</u>

<u></u>

The formula for the nth term is :

  • aₙ = a₁rⁿ⁻¹
  • Common ratio (r) = quotient of consecutive terms
  • r = -12/6 = -2

Therefore, the nth term is :

  • aₙ = <u>6(-2)ⁿ⁻¹</u>
