Ooh, fun
what I would do is to make it a piecewise function where the absolute value becomse 0
because if you graphed y=x^2+x-12, some part of the garph would be under the line
with y=|x^2+x-12|, that part under the line is flipped up
so we need to find that flipping point which is at y=0
solve x^2+x-12=0
(x-3)(x+4)=0
at x=-4 and x=3 are the flipping points
we have 2 functions, the regular and flipped one
the regular, we will call f(x), it is f(x)=x^2+x-12
the flipped one, we call g(x), it is g(x)=-(x^2+x-12) or -x^2-x+12
so we do the integeral of f(x) from x=5 to x=-4, plus the integral of g(x) from x=-4 to x=3, plus the integral of f(x) from x=3 to x=5

the last one you can do yourself, it is

the sum is

so the area under the curve is
Hello! The formula for simple interest is prt. That means you multiply the principal (initial amount) by the rate (simple interest percentage), by the amount of time (could be in months or years). So, the loan is $3,750 and the rate is 8.25% for 9 months. 9 months is 3/4 of the year, because there are 12 months in 1 year and 9/12 is 0.75. Let's multiply. 3,750 * 8.25% (0.0825) is 309.375 Now, multiply that number by 0.75 to get 232.03125 or 232.03 when rounded to the nearest hundredth (cent). The amount of simple interest is $232.03.
42 (1- 25/100) = 63/2 = 31.5 dollars
answer is $31.50
hope it helps
