Your interest formula is given to you.
<span>Interest in a year = principal (the amount invested) * rate (the interest rate) * period (the time you're measuring) </span>
<span>Interest = 55,000 * 2% * 1 year = 55,000 * 0.02 * 1 = $1,100 </span>
<span>How much would you need to have made for your spending power to keep with inflation? Your interest rate would have needed to match the inflation rate, otherwise, prices are going up faster than you're saving. </span>
<span>Required interest = 55,000 * 3.24% * 1 year = 55,000 * 0.0324 * 1 = $1,782 </span>
<span>How much buying power did you lose? The difference between your required interest and your actual interest. </span>
<span>Buying power lost = 1,782 - 1,100 = $682. You lost this much in buying power. </span>
I don’t understand apply to what?
I think the total is 190 miles they have traveled but don’t trust me I think it is
Answer:
The correct answer is B.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find this, calculate out the discriminant for each of the following equations. If the discriminant is a perfect square, then it can be factored.
Discriminant = b^2 - 4ac
The only of the equations that does not yield a perfect square is B. The work for it is done below for you.
Discriminant = b^2 - 4ac
Discriminant = 7^2 - 4(2)(-5)
Discriminant = 49 + 40
Discriminant = 89
Since 89 is not a perfect square, we cannot factor this.
