Leo paid $2400 in interest on an amount borrowed for 10 years at a 4% annual simple interest rate. How much did Leo borrow?

1 answer:

6 0

Answer: $6000

Explanation:

1) Simple interest means that the interests are calcualted over the original amount borrowed and they are the same every year.

2) yearly interest = interest / number of years = $2400 / 10 = $240

3) the yearly interest equals the amount borrowed times the simple intereset rate:

=> $240 = A * 4%

=> $240 = A * 0.04

=> A = $240 / 0.04 = $6000

You can do the same in one step:

interest = A * simple interest rate * number of years

=> A = interest / [simple interest rate * number of years] = $2400 / [4% * 10]

A = $2400 / (0.04 * 10) = $2400 / 0.4 = $ 6000.

And that is the answer: he borrowed $6000

A triangle has side lengths of 7 in., 9 in., and 11 in. Determine whether this is a right triangle and why.

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Not a right triangle. See below for my reasoning.

Step-by-step explanation:

If this is a right triangle, then the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides will equal the square of the longest side: 7^2 + 9^2 = 11^2 => 49 + 81 = 121 But this is false.

All triangle angles have 60 degree angles. What are the side lengths?

Alex_Xolod [135]

If all the angles are 60 degrees, this is an equilateral triangle. This means that all the sides have the same lengths. Whatever length side a is, b and c have the same length.

Hope this helps :)

(c). It is well known that the rate of flow can be found by measuring the volume of blood that flows past a point in a given tim

aleksklad [387]

(i) Given that

$V(R) = \displaystyle \int_0^R 2\pi K(R^2r-r^3) \, dr$

when R = 0.30 cm and v = (0.30 - 3.33r²) cm/s (which additionally tells us to take K = 1), then

$V(0.30) = \displaystyle \int_0^{0.30} 2\pi \left(0.30-3.33r^2\right)r \, dr \approx \boxed{0.0425}$

and this is a volume so it must be reported with units of cm³.

In Mathematica, you can first define the velocity function with

v[r_] := 0.30 - 3.33r^2

and additionally define the volume function with

V[R_] := Integrate[2 Pi v[r] r, {r, 0, R}]

Then get the desired volume by running V[0.30].

(ii) In full, the volume function is

$\displaystyle \int_0^R 2\pi K(R^2-r^2)r \, dr$

Compute the integral:

$V(R) = \displaystyle \int_0^R 2\pi K(R^2-r^2)r \, dr$

$V(R) = \displaystyle 2\pi K \int_0^R (R^2r-r^3) \, dr$

$V(R) = \displaystyle 2\pi K \left(\frac12 R^2r^2 - \frac14 r^4\right)\bigg_0^R$

$V(R) = \displaystyle 2\pi K \left(\frac{R^4}2- \frac{R^4}4\right)$

$V(R) = \displaystyle \boxed{\frac{\pi KR^4}2}$

In M, redefine the velocity function as

v[r_] := k*(R^2 - r^2)

(you can't use capital K because it's reserved for a built-in function)

Then run

Integrate[2 Pi v[r] r, {r, 0, R}]

This may take a little longer to compute than expected because M tries to generate a result to cover all cases (it doesn't automatically know that R is a real number, for instance). You can make it run faster by including the Assumptions option, as with

Integrate[2 Pi v[r] r, {r, 0, R}, Assumptions -> R > 0]

which ensures that R is positive, and moreover a real number.

What is a dividen in a qoutient?

The number which we divide is called the dividend. The number by which we divide is called the divisor. The result obtained is called the quotient.
