Lucy has 20 questions in her science home work

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

Lucy correctly answered 70% of the questions on her science homework

She counted 14 correct answers on her paper

<em><u>To find: Number of questions in her science home work</u></em>

Let "x" be the number of questions in her science home work

From given we can say,

Lucy correctly answered 70% of questions

She counted 14 correct answers

70 % of total questions = 14 correct answers

70 % of x = 14

70 \% \times x = 14\\\\\frac{70}{100} \times x = 14\\\\0.70x = 14\\\\x = \frac{14}{0.70}\\\\x = 20

Thus Lucy has 20 questions in her science home work

Sam takes out a $167,000 mortgage for 20 years. He makes monthly payments and at the end calculates
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

The Annual rate of interest for the mortgage is 1.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The mortgage principal = p = $167,000

The time period of mortgage = t = 20 years

The Amount paid towards mortgage in 20 years = A = $240,141

Let the Annual percentage rate on interest = r % compounded annually

Now, <u>From Compound Interest method</u>

Amount = Principal × (1+\dfrac{\textrm rate}{100})^{\textrm time}

Or, A = p × (1+\dfrac{\textrm r}{100})^{\textrm t}

Or, $240,141 = $167,000 × (1+\dfrac{\textrm r}{100})^{\textrm 20}

or, \dfrac{240,141}{167,000} =  (1+\dfrac{\textrm r}{100})^{\textrm 20}

Or , 1.437 =  (1+\dfrac{\textrm r}{100})^{\textrm 20}

Or, (1.437)^{\frac{1}{20}} = (1+\dfrac{r}{100})

or, 1.018 = (1+\dfrac{r}{100})

Or, \dfrac{r}{100} =  1.018 - 1

Or, \dfrac{r}{100} = 0.018

∴ r = 0.018 × 100

i.e r = 1.8

So, The rate of interest applied = r = 1.8 %

Hence, The Annual rate of interest for the mortgage is 1.8%  Answer

Describe the location of the point having the following coordinates. negative abscissa, zero ordinate between Quadrant II and Qu
Marianna [84]

Answer:

The location of the point is between Quadrant II and Quadrant III

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The abscissa refers to the x-axis  and ordinate refers to the y-axis

so

in this problem we have

the coordinates of the point are (-x,0)

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

The location of the point is between Quadrant II and Quadrant III

Suppose that $3000 is placed in an account that pays 16% interest compounded each year. Assume that no withdrawals are made from
Papessa [141]

Answer:

a) $3480

b) $4036.8

Step-by-step explanation:

The compound interest formula is given by:

A(t) = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}

Where A(t) is the amount of money after t years, P is the principal(the initial sum of money), r is the interest rate(as a decimal value), n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year and t is the time in years for which the money is invested or borrowed.

Suppose that $3000 is placed in an account that pays 16% interest compounded each year.

This means, respectively, that P = 3000, r = 0.16, n = 1

So

A(t) = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}

A(t) = 3000(1 + \frac{0.16}{1})^{t}

A(t) = 3000(1.16)^{t}

(a) Find the amount in the account at the end of 1 year.

This is A(1).

A(t) = 3000(1.16)^{t}

A(1) = 3000(1.16)^{1} = 3480

(b) Find the amount in the account at the end of 2 years.

This is A(2).

A(2) = 3000(1.16)^{2} = 4036.8

How do you do this question?
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=(x-1)(x^2+2)^3\\f'(x)=(x-1)*3(x^2+2)^2*2x+(x^2+2)^3*1\\f'(x)=6x(x-1)(x^2+2)^2+(x^2+2)^3\\f'(x)=(x^2+2)^2[6x^2-6x+x^2+2]\\f'(x)=(x^2+2)^2(7x^2-6x+2)\\D

A pan is heated to 393°F, then removed from the heat and allowed to cool in a kitchen where the room temperature is a constant 6
deff fn [24]

Answer:

The approximate temperature of the pan after it has been away from the heat for 9 minutes is 275.59°F.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for D, the difference in temperature between the pan and the room after t minutes is:

D = 324\cdot e^{-0.05t}

Compute the approximate difference in temperature between the pan and the room after 9 minutes as follows:

D = 324\cdot e^{-0.05t}

    =324\times e^{-0.05\times 9}\\\\=206.59

Then the approximate temperature of the pan after it has been away from the heat for 9 minutes is:

D = P - R

206.59 = P - 69

P = 206.59 + 69

P = 275.59°F

Thus, the approximate temperature of the pan after it has been away from the heat for 9 minutes is 275.59°F.
