We first find out the amount in dollars of interest accrued after 2 years time.
Interest = Prt
where P is the principal, r is the rate and t is time
8% written in decimal fraction → 8/100 → 0.08
Interest = 17000 × 8% × 2
Interest = 1700 × 0.08 × 2
Interest = 2,720 dollars
We add the principal and the interest to get full amount paid, so:
17000 + 2,720 = 19,720
Therefore the answer is D
The measures of x and y are 291.
Answer:
10 ft x 10 ft
Area = 100 ft^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 'S' be the length of the southern boundary fence and 'W' the length of the eastern and western sides of the fence.
The total area is given by:

The cost function is given by:

Replacing that relationship into the Area function and finding its derivate, we can find the value of 'S' for which the area is maximized when the derivate equals zero:

If S=10 then W =20 -10 = 10
Therefore, the largest area enclosed by the fence is:

we are given
f(x)=[x=1]
where bracket means ceiling functions
we know that
Ceiling function returns the least value of the integer that is greater than or equal to the specified number
so, we can check each options
option-A:

At x=-4:
f(x)=[-4-1] =-5
For x<-3:
Let's assume
x=-3.1
f(x)=[-3.1-1] =[-4.1]=-5
so, this interval is TRUE
option-B:

At x=-2:
f(x)=[-2-1] =-3
For x<-1:
Let's assume
x=-1.1
f(x)=[-1.1-1] =[-2.1]=-3
so, this is FALSE
