Funny... I'm doing a lesson on factoring right now :)
The Greatest Common Factor would be 4, the biggest number that divides into all of them evenly. You would factor out the 4.
4(x² - 4x + 2)
Hope this helps!!!
What is the largest organ in your body?
5/6 - 3/8
Rewrite the fractions to have a common denominator:
5/6 x 4 = 20/24
3/8 x 3 = 9/24
Now you have 20/24 - 9/24 = 11/24
The answer is D. 11/24
Hey there!
Let's set up our expression:
(7a-6b+7)-(8a-2)
In order to simplify, we can use that subtraction sign and distribute it, using the distributive property. We have:
7a-6b+7-8a+2
Notice how it's plus two, because a negative times a negative two is a positive two. Now, it's a matter of finding the like terms and adding or subtracting them. These like terms can either have no variable, or have different coefficients but the same variable. That means our like terms are the 7a and -8a, and the 7 and 2. There's no like term for the 6b. That means we have:
(7a-8a) - 6b + (7+2) =
-a - 6b + 9
Hope this helps!
<span>B(n) = A(1 + i)^n - (P/i)[(1 + i)^n - 1]
where B is the balance after n payments are made, i is the monthly interest rate, P is the monthly payment and A is the initial amount of loan.
We require B(n) = 0...i.e. balance of 0 after n months.
so, 0 = A(1 + i)^n - (P/i)[(1 + i)^n - 1]
Then, with some algebraic juggling we get:
n = -[log(1 - (Ai/P)]/log(1 + i)
Now, payment is at the beginning of the month, so A = $754.43 - $150 => $604.43
Also, i = (13.6/100)/12 => 0.136/12 per month
i.e. n = -[log(1 - (604.43)(0.136/12)/150)]/log(1 + 0.136/12)
so, n = 4.15 months...i.e. 4 payments + remainder
b) Now we have A = $754.43 - $300 = $454.43 so,
n = -[log(1 - (454.43)(0.136/12)/300)]/log(1 + 0.136/12)
so, n = 1.54 months...i.e. 1 payment + remainder
