Answer:

$S \leq 200$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Phone R-Us= $16.95 + $0.05 per SMS

Awesome Wireless = $22.95 + $0.02 per SMS

Required

Determine the number of SMS such that Awesome Wireless is greater or equal to Phone R-Us

Represent the SMS with S

For Phone R-Us, we have:

$SMS = 16.95 + 0.05S$

For Awesome Wireless, we have:

$SMS = 22.95 + 0.02S$

For Awesome Wireless is greater or equal to Phone R-Us, we have:

$22.95 + 0.02S \geq 16.95 + 0.05S$

Collect Like Terms

$0.02S - 0.05S \geq 16.95 - 22.95$

$-0.03S \geq -6$

Solve for S

$\frac{-0.03S}{-0.03} \geq \frac{-6}{-0.03}$

$S \leq 200$

Hence: for Awesome Wireless to cost more or equal to Phone R-Us, the number of SMS must not exceed 200

A certain college graduate borrows 7864 dollars to buy a car. The lender charges interest at an annual rate of 13%. Assuming tha

White raven [17]

Answer:

Therefore rate of payment = $ 3145.72

Therefore the rate of interest = =$1573.17

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider A represent the balance at time t.

A(0)=$ 7864.

r=13 % =0.13

Rate payment = $k

The balance rate increases by interest (product of interest rate and current balance) and payment rate.

$\frac{dB}{dt} = rB-k$

$\Rightarrow \frac{dB}{dt} - rB=-k$ .......(1)

To solve the equation ,we have to find out the integrating factor.

Here p(t)= the coefficient of B =-r

The integrating factor $=e^{\int p(t) dt$

$=e^{\int (-r)dt$

$=e^{-rt}$

Multiplying the integrating factor the both sides of equation (1)

$e^{-rt}\frac{dB}{dt} -e^{-rt}rB=-ke^{-rt}$

$\Rightarrow e^{-rt}dB - e^{-rt}rBdt=-ke^{-rt}dt$

Integrating both sides

$\Rightarrow \int e^{-rt}dB -\int e^{-rt}rBdt=\int-ke^{-rt}dt$

$\Rightarrow e^{-rt}B=\frac{-ke^{-rt}}{-r} +C$ [ where C arbitrary constant]

$\Rightarrow B(t)=\frac{k}{r} +Ce^{rt}$

Initial condition B=7864 when t =0

$\therefore 7864= \frac{k}{r} - Ce^0$

$\Rightarrow C= \frac{k}{r} -7864$

Then the general solution is

$B(t)=\frac{k}{r}-( \frac{k}{r}-7864)e^{rt}$

To determine the payment rate, we have to put the value of B(3), r and t in the general solution.

Here B(3)=0, r=0.13 and t=3

$B(3)=0=\frac{k}{0.13}-( \frac{k}{0.13}-7864)e^{0.13\times 3}$

$\Rightarrow- 0.48\frac{k}{0.13} +11614.98=0$

⇒k≈3145.72

Therefore rate of payment = $ 3145.72

Therefore the rate of interest = ${(3145.72×3)-7864}

=$1573.17

What is the area, in square centimeters, of the trapezoid below? 8.5 cm 7.5 cm 15.7 cm

Contact [7]

Answer:

90.75 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a trapezoid is given by

A = 1/2 ( b1+b2) *h

where b1 and b2 are the lengths of the bases and h is the height

A = 1/2(8.5+ 15.7) * 7.5

1/2 (24.2) 7.5
