Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equipment wll save $35,000 per over for 10 years, which totals to $350,000.

If the equipment is bought on a simple interest rate of 12% annually for ten years, it will cost:

A = P (1 + rt),\\where\ A =\ Final\ amount,\ r=rate\of\interest\annually,\ t=time,\ P= Principal\ value\\\\P = 200,000r = 0.12t = 10 \\\\A = 200,000 ( 1 + 0.12\times 10)\\A = 200,000 (1 + 1.2)\\A = 200,000 (2.2)\\A = 440,000

We will need to pay $440,000 in total for the machine in over ten years.

If we compare both values, it can be deduced that industrial equipment is more expensive than labor cost.

Which of the following is a factor of 2x^4 22x^3 60x^2? 2x^3 x^4 x 4 x 5
zavuch27 [327]
The factor theorem says that for a function f(x), if f(a) = 0, then (x - a) is a factor of f(x).
For f(x) = 2x^4 + 22x^3 + 60x^2
f(-5) = 2(-5)^4 + 22(-5)^3 + 60(-5)^2 = 2(625) + 22(-125) + 60(25) = 1250 - 2750 + 1500 = 0
Therefore, x - (-5) = x + 5 is a factor of f(x).

Is 0.2487 a interger
BabaBlast [244]

No.  0.2487 is not an interger.

There are two big reasons for this:

1).  There is no such thing as an ' interger ',
       so no number could be one.
       You probably mean ' integer '.

2).  An integer is a whole number ... a number
      with no fraction part and no decimal part.
      0.2847  is all decimal, and not even big enough
      to make the smallest whole number.  (That's ' 1 '.)
