Question text You have just won the lottery. The Lottery Corporation offers you two options: 1. a lump-sum payment of $400,000,

or 2. an annuity of $800,000 to be received in equal installments over the next 20 years. At what interest rate, r, will you be indifferent between the two options?

Use present value equation.
If present value of annuity equals 400,000, then you are indifferent.

PV = A(v + v^2 + ...v^{20}) \\  \\ PV = A\frac{v(1-v^{20})}{1-v}

where v = 1/(1+r) and  A = annual payment = 800,000/20 = 40,000

PV = 400,000
After subbing in the numbers, the equation is:
10 = \frac{v(1-v^{20})}{1-v} \\  \\ 10 - 10v = v - v^{21} \\  \\ v^{21} - 11v+10 = 0 \\  \\ v = 0.928034 \\  \\ \frac{1}{1+r} = 0.928034 \\  \\ r = 0.0775

Therefore at interest rate of about 7.75% you are indifferent.

Find the area of the region that lies inside the first curve and outside the second curve.
marishachu [46]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

r = 10 cos( θ)

r = 5

We are to find the  the area of the region that lies inside the first curve and outside the second curve.

The first thing we need to do is to determine the intersection of the points in these two curves.

To do that :

let equate the two parameters together

So;

10 cos( θ) = 5

cos( θ) = \dfrac{1}{2}

\theta = -\dfrac{\pi}{3}, \ \  \dfrac{\pi}{3}

Now, the area of the  region that lies inside the first curve and outside the second curve can be determined by finding the integral . i.e

A = \dfrac{1}{2} \int \limits^{\dfrac{\pi}{3}}_{-\dfrac{\pi}{3}} (10 \ cos \  \theta)^2 d \theta - \dfrac{1}{2} \int \limits^{\dfrac{\pi}{3}}_{-\dfrac{\pi}{3}} \ \  5^2 d \theta

A = \dfrac{1}{2} \int \limits^{\dfrac{\pi}{3}}_{-\dfrac{\pi}{3}} 100 \ cos^2 \  \theta  d \theta - \dfrac{25}{2} \int \limits^{\dfrac{\pi}{3}}_{-\dfrac{\pi}{3}} \ \   d \theta

A = 50 \int \limits^{\dfrac{\pi}{3}}_{-\dfrac{\pi}{3}} \begin {pmatrix}  \dfrac{cos \ 2 \theta +1}{2}  \end {pmatrix} \ \ d \theta - \dfrac{25}{2}  \begin {bmatrix} \theta   \end {bmatrix}^{\dfrac{\pi}{3}}_{-\dfrac{\pi}{3}}

A =\dfrac{ 50}{2} \int \limits^{\dfrac{\pi}{3}}_{-\dfrac{\pi}{3}} \begin {pmatrix}  {cos \ 2 \theta +1}  \end {pmatrix} \ \    d \theta - \dfrac{25}{2}  \begin {bmatrix}  \dfrac{\pi}{3} - (- \dfrac{\pi}{3} )\end {bmatrix}

A =25  \begin {bmatrix}  \dfrac{sin2 \theta }{2} + \theta \end {bmatrix}^{\dfrac{\pi}{3}}_{\dfrac{\pi}{3}}    \ \ - \dfrac{25}{2}  \begin {bmatrix}  \dfrac{2 \pi}{3} \end {bmatrix}

A =25  \begin {bmatrix}  \dfrac{sin (\dfrac{2 \pi}{3} )}{2}+\dfrac{\pi}{3} - \dfrac{ sin (\dfrac{-2\pi}{3}) }{2}-(-\dfrac{\pi}{3})  \end {bmatrix} - \dfrac{25 \pi}{3}

A = 25 \begin{bmatrix}   \dfrac{\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2} }{2} +\dfrac{\pi}{3} + \dfrac{\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2} }{2} +   \dfrac{\pi}{3}  \end {bmatrix}- \dfrac{ 25 \pi}{3}

A = 25 \begin{bmatrix}   \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2 } +\dfrac{2 \pi}{3}   \end {bmatrix}- \dfrac{ 25 \pi}{3}

A =    \dfrac{25 \sqrt{3}}{2 } +\dfrac{25 \pi}{3}

The diagrammatic expression showing the area of the region that lies inside the first curve and outside the second curve can be seen in the attached file below.

Easy Points if you know math. Please help, question attached in picture.
blagie [28]

Answer:

y = 1/2x +6

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a point and a slope.  Therefore we can use the point slope form to create a line

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y-5 = 1/2(x--2)

y-5 = 1/2(x+2)

Distribute the 1/2

y-5 = 1/2x +1

Add 5 to each side

y-5+5 = 1/2x +1+5

y = 1/2x +6

This is in slope intercept form
