Dominic considers buying 2 points on a 25-year, fixed rate mortgage for $187,600. His interest rate will be 5.45% if he does not

purchase the
points. If he does purchase the points, his interest rate will decrease to 5.2%. What would be the break-even point on Dominic's mortgage
considering the cost of the points?

Answer:

If Dominic buys 2 points (2% of the loan value) he will get a better rate and hence less payment.  The question is asking how long will it take him to save the initial investment of 2% of the loan value due to a smaller payment.  The monthly payment at 5.45% is  $1,146.43,  the monthly payment for 5.2% is  $1,118.66.  This is a difference of  $27.77 per month.  The 2 points will cost him  $3,752.00.  The question is asking how long will it take Dominic to re-coup his  $3,752.00 if he saves $27.77 per month.  Just divide the 2 numbers and you get  135.10 months.  If you divide that by 12 you get 11.26 years, which is roughly 11 years, 4 months.

To answer the problem above, convert the given angle to an equivalent angle with the unit of degrees.
                               (13π / 12 rad) x (360° / 2π) = 195°
We can solve this by directly inputting the value in our scientific calculators. The answer is approximately -0.2588.

the length of an arc of a circle is 269⁢πcentimeters and the measure of the corresponding central angle is 65∘. what is the leng
scZoUnD [109]

The length of the circle's radius = 744.92 cm

Given the length of arc of a circle, arc length = 269⁢π cm

Central angle of a circle is the angle made between the radius through the arc length at the center of the circle.

The corresponding central angle = 65°

To find the corresponding central angle in radians = 65° x π/180 = 13π/36 radians

We have, arc length of a circle = radius x central angle

Therefore, radius of the circle = arc length / central angle

                                                  =  269⁢π /(13π/36)

                                                  = 744.92 cm

Write the equation of the line for a line that passes through (-2,-4) and (-1, -1).
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

y = 3x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the slope using the slope formula

m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = ( -1 - -4)/(-1 - -2)

   = (-1 +4)/ (-1 +2)

   = 3/1

  = 3

The slope intercept formula is

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = 3x+b

Using the point (-1,-1) and substituting into the equation

-1 = 3(-1)+b

-1 = -3+b

-1+3 = b

2 = b

y = 3x+2

Find the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points.<br><br> (–5.5, 6.1), (–2.5, 3.1)
hjlf

Slope of the line is -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points are,

(-5.5,6.1),(-2.5,3.1)

Here,

x_{1} = -5.5 ,\ \ \ x_{2}=-2.5\\y_{1} = 6.1,\ \ \ y_{2}=3.1

Slope = m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x{1}}

Putting values;

m=\frac{3.1-6.1}{-2.5-(-5.5)}\\m=\frac{-3}{-2.5+5.5}\\m=\frac{-3}{3}\\m=-1

Slope of the line is -1.

An engineer is designing an arch-shaped gate for the entrance to an amusement park. The gate must be 80 feet wide and 25 feet ta
Tom [10]
1) the form of the equation may be written as y = A(X - Xo)(X - X1)

Where Xo and X1 are the two roots of the equation.


2) We can fix the system of coordinates so that the vertex is in the middle of the gate => Xo = - 40 and X1 = +40


=> y = A (X + 40) (X - 40) = A (X^2 - 1600) 


3) The height, at X = 0 is 25

=> A(0 - 1600) = 25


=> -1600A = 25 => A = -25 / 1600 = - 1/64


4) The equation is y =  - [1/64] (X^2 - 1600)


5) You can present it in different equivalent forms.

Some of those other forms are:

1) - 64y = (x^2 - 1600)

2) x^2 = - 64y + 1600

3) X^2 = - 64 (y - 25)
