71. Suppose that you currently have one credit card with a balance of $10,000 at an annual rate of 24.00% interest. You have sto

pped adding any additional charges to this card and are determined to pay off the balance. You have worked out the formulabn = b0r n − R(1 + r+r2 +....+ r n−1), where b0 is the initial balance, bn is the balance after you have maden payments, r= 1 + i, wherei is the monthly interest rate, and R is the amount you are planning to pay each month.
c. How long does it take to pay off this debt if you can afford to pay a constant $250 per month? Give the
answer in years and months.

Answer:

It will take 71,35 months, wich can be rounded to 72, or 6 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The debt will be paid when b_{n} = 0, the formula can be written as:

b_{n} = b_{0} r^{n} - R (\frac{1-r^{n} }{1-r} ) = 0

Solving for n:

\frac{R}{1-r} = \frac{b_{0}r^{n}}{1-r^{n} } = \frac{b_{0}r^{n}}{r^{n}(\frac{1}{r^{n} } -1) }

\frac{1}{r^{n}} = \frac{b_{0}(1-r)}{R}+1= 0,28

r^{n}= \frac{1}{0,28} = 3,5714

Solving the exponential equation:

r^{n} = 3,5714 => n = log_{r} (3,5714) = \frac{log(3,5714)}{log(r)} =71,35

It will take 71,35 months, wich can be rounded to 72, or 6 years

An 8-foot by 5-foot section of wall is to be covered by square tiles that measure 4 inches on each side. If the tiles are not cu
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

30 tiles

Step-by-step explanation:

SO we need to find the area of the wall so we do

8 feet * 5 feet = 40 feet squared

then we find that area in inches

40*12=480

Now we find the area of the tiles

4*4=16

So now we divide to find how many tiles are needed

480/16=30

Our answer is 30

A rectangular parking lot must have a perimeter of 440 feet and an area of at least 8000 square feet. Describe the possible leng
tangare [24]

Answer:

The possible parking lengths are 45.96 feet and 174.031 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the length of rectangular plot and y be the breadth of rectangular plot

A rectangular parking lot must have a perimeter of 440 feet

Perimeter of rectangular plot =2(l+b)=2(x+y)=440

2(x+y)=440

x+y=220

y=220-x

We are also given that an area of at least 8000 square feet.

So, xy \leq 8000

So,x(220-x) \leq 8000

220x-x^2 \leq 8000

So,220x-x^2 = 8000\\-x^2+220x-8000=0

General quadratic equation : ax^2+bx+c=0

Formula : x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

x=\frac{-220 \pm \sqrt{220^2-4(-1)(-8000)}}{2(-1)}\\x=\frac{-220 + \sqrt{220^2-4(-1)(-8000)}}{2(-1)} , \frac{-220 - \sqrt{220^2-4(-1)(-8000)}}{2(-1)}\\x=45.96,174.031

So, The possible parking lengths are 45.96 feet and 174.031 feet
