Answer:

B. $715.21

Step-by-step explanation:

Apparently, Margaret makes her first payment after she has incurred a finance charge on the amount.

At the end of the first month, the balance due is ...

... 692.77×(1 + 0.217/12) = 705.30

At the end of the second month, the balance due is ...

... (705.30 -290)×(1 +0.217/12) = 422.81

At the end of the third month, the balance due is ...

... (422.81 -290)×(1 +0.217/12) = 132.81

Margaret makes total payments of $290×2 +132.81 = $712.81

Of the choices listed, the best selection is ...

... B. $715.21

_____

<em>Comment on the answer choice</em>

The total $715.21 seems to also include a finance charge on the final payment amount. (It actually includes a charge on $132.72, which is slightly different from the final payment amount.) There will not be any such charge, so the <em>available answer choices are all in error</em>.

Actually, we expect the total cost to be closer to $702.25, because we expect that Margaret will make her first payment before any finance charges are incurred.

Yo sup??

This question can be solved by applying the properties of similar triangles

the triangle with sides 5x and 20 is similar to the triangle with sides 45 and 36

therefore we can say

5x/45=20/36

x=5 units

Hope this helps

Use the discriminant to predict the nature of the solutions to the equation 4x-3x²=10. Then, solve the equation.
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

Two imaginary solutions:

x₁= \frac{2}{3} -\frac{1}{3} i\sqrt{26}

x₂ = \frac{2}{3} +\frac{1}{3} i\sqrt{26}

Step-by-step explanation:

When we are given a quadratic equation of the form ax² +bx + c = 0, the discriminant is given by the formula b² - 4ac.

The discriminant gives us information on how the solutions of the equations will be.

  1. <u>If the discriminant is zero</u>, the equation will have only one solution and it will be real
  2. <u>If the discriminant is greater than zero</u>, then the equation will have two solutions and they both will be real.
  3. <u>If the discriminant is less than zero,</u> then the equation will have two imaginary solutions (in the complex numbers)

So now we will work with the equation given: 4x - 3x² = 10

First we will order the terms to make it look like a quadratic equation ax²+bx + c = 0

So:

4x - 3x² = 10

-3x² + 4x - 10 = 0 will be our equation

with this information we have that a = -3 b = 4 c = -10

And we will find the discriminant: b^{2} -4ac = 4^{2} -4(-3)(-10) = 16-120=-104

Therefore our discriminant is less than zero and we know<u> that our equation will have two solutions in the complex numbers. </u>

To proceed to solve the equation we will use the general formula

x₁= (-b+√b²-4ac)/2a

so x₁ = \frac{-4+\sqrt{-104} }{2(-3)} \\\frac{-4+\sqrt{-104} }{-6}\\\frac{-4+2\sqrt{-26} }{-6} \\\frac{-4+2i\sqrt{26} }{-6} \\\frac{2}{3} -\frac{1}{3} i\sqrt{26}

The second solution x₂ = (-b-√b²-4ac)/2a

so x₂=\frac{-4-\sqrt{-104} }{2(-3)} \\\frac{-4-\sqrt{-104} }{-6}\\\frac{-4-2\sqrt{-26} }{-6} \\\frac{-4-2i\sqrt{26} }{-6} \\\frac{2}{3} +\frac{1}{3} i\sqrt{26}

These are our two solutions in the imaginary numbers.

May I please get help. ​
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

y = -\frac{2}{3} +6

Step-by-step explanation:

To be parallel to the original line, the slope has to be the same (-\frac{2}{3}). For the line to go through the point (6,2) the y-intercept has to be 6.

The graph shows the original line (black) and new line that goes through the point (yellow).

Hope it helps!

Bro PUH LEZ answer!!
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

d

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for the two triangles to be similar the ratio of each side has to be the same. in answer do the ratios would be 21 to 17.5 and 18 to 15 and both ratios equal 1.2 which means they are similar triangles.

In the theory of learning, the rate at which a subject is memorized is assumed to be proportional to the amount that is left to
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:       equation = dA/dt = K₁ (M - A) - K₂A

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us follow this carefully to get our equation right.

From the question we are told to (Assume the constants of proportionality for the rate at which material is memorized and the rate at which material is forgotten are k1 > 0 and k2 > 0, respectively. Use A for A(t) ).

The Rate of memorizing the material is ∝ [Total amount to be memorized]  - [Amount memorized]

remember using A for A(t).

where A rep the amount memorized at a time t and M is the Total amount memorized.

so we have that dA/dt  ∝ M - A

which is dA/dt = K₁ (M - A) ---------------(*)

remember it was stated that forgetfulness is taken into account

Forgetfulness, F ∝ A

F = K₂A --------------- (**)

which implies the rate of memorization is decreased as a result of forgetting;

this leads to

dA/dt = K₁ (M - A) - K₂A

The  rate of differential equation is  ⇒  dA/dt = K₁ (M - A) - K₂A

cheers i hope this helped!!!!
