8 0

x⁴ - 8x² = 0
x⁴ - 8x² + 16 = 0 + 16
x⁴ - 4x² - 4x² + 16 = 16
x²(x²) - x²(4) - 4(x²) + 4(4) = 16
x²(x² - 4) - 4(x² - 4) = 16
(x² - 4)(x² - 4) = 16
(x² - 4)² = 16

The answer is B.

<h3>Answer: Monthly Payment = $12,083.34</h3>

========================================================

Explanation:

i = P*r*t ... simple interest formula

i = (1,500,000)*(0.03)*(15)

i = 675,000

The amount of interest you need to pay is $675,000

The total amount to pay back is 1,500,000+675,000 = 2,175,000 dollars.

Divide this over 180 months (since 15 years = 15*12 = 180 months) to get

(2,175,000)/180 = 12,083.3333333333

This rounds up to the nearest cent to get 12,083.34

I rounded up to make sure to clear the hurdle. Note how

180*(12,083.33) = 2,174,999.4

which is a bit short of the 2,175,000 mark we're after

The notation __1____ reads the probability of Event B given that Event A has occurred. If Events A and B are independent, then t

telo118 [61]

P(B|A) (option B)

Doesn't affect (option A)

P(B|A) = P(B) (option A)

Explanation:

1) Conditional probabilities could be in the form P(A|B) or P(B|A)

P(B|A) is a notation that reads the probability of event B given that event A has occurred.

P(B|A) (option B)

2) Independent events do not affect the outcome of each other

For event A and B to be independent, the probability of event A occurring doesn't affect the the probability of event B occurring

Doesn't affect (option A)

3) Events A and B are independent if the following are satisfied:

P(A|B) = P(A)

P(B|A) = P(B)

The ones that appeared in the option is P(B|A) = P(B) (option A)
