Answer:

10 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

(150/x) + 1.5 + (450/(x+15)) = 600/x

Multiply through by x(x + 15):

150(x + 15) + 1.5x(x + 15) + 450x = 600(x + 15)

150x + 2250 + 1.5x^2 + 22.5x + 450x = 600x + 9000

150x + 2250 + 1.5x^2 + 22.5x + 450x - 600x - 9000 = 0

1.5x^2 + 22.5x - 6750 = 0

x = (-22.5 +/- sqrt(22.5^2 - 4(1.5)(-6750))) / (2*1.5)

x = (-22.5 +/- sqrt(506.25 + 40500)) / 3

x = (-22.5 +/- sqrt(41006.25)) / 3

x = (-22.5 +/- 202.5) / 3

x = 180/3 or -225/3

x = 60 or -75

But a negative number doesn't make sense, so therefore x = 60, so the journey took 600/60 = 10  hours.

A cylindrical pressure vessel has a height of 9 feet and a diameter of 6 feet. How much gas can the pressure vessel hold when fu
notka56 [123]

since the diameter of the base of the cylinder is 6 feet, then its radius is half that, or 3 feet.


\bf \textit{volume of a cylinder}\\\\
V=\pi r^2 h~~
\begin{cases}
r=radius\\
h=height\\[-0.5em]
\hrulefill\\
r=3\\
h=9
\end{cases}\implies V=\pi (3)^2(9)\implies V=81\pi

You plan to borrow $36,500 at a 7.7% annual interest rate. The terms require you to amortize the loan with 7 equal end-of-year p
erma4kov [3.2K]

The amount of interest you would be paying in Year 2 is: $2,492.62.

<h3>Interest</h3>

First step is to calculate the Equal Monthly Payment

Equal Monthly Payment=P×r×(1+r)^t/(1+r)^t-1

Where:

P=Principal=$36,500

r=Rate=7.7%

t=Time=7 years

Equal Monthly Payment=36,500×0.077×(1+0.077)^7÷(1+0.077)^7-1

Equal Monthly Payment=36,500×0.077×(1.077)^7÷(1.077)^7-1

Equal Monthly Payment=36,500×0.077×1.6807763÷1.6807763-1

Equal Monthly Payment=4,723.82/0.6807763

Equal Monthly Payment=$6,938.875

Second step is to calculate Year 1 Closing balance

Year 1 Closing balance  = Beginning  balance + Interest - EMI Payment

Year 1 Closing balance=  $36,500 +($36,500×7.7%) - $6,938.875

Year 1 Closing balance=  $36,500 + $2,810.5 -$6,938.875

Year 1 Closing balance =   $32,371.625

Third step is to calculate year 2 interest

Year 2 Interest= $32,371.625×7.7%

Year 2 Interest=$2,492.62

Therefore the amount of interest you would be paying in Year 2 is: $2,492.62.
