What is the definition of present value?

1 answer:

5 0

The current value of a future sum of money. The Present Value allows us to calculate what is the value of today that has an amount of money that we will not receive right now but later, in the future.

Present value seeks to reflect that it is always better to have an amount of money today than to receive it in the future. In fact, if we have the money today we can do something to make it productive, such as investing in a company, buying shares or leaving it in the bank that pays us interest, among other options. In addition, even if we do not have a certain plan to invest the money we can simply spend it to satisfy our tastes and we do not have to wait to receive the money in the future.

An inequation is a mathematical expression that is used to make constraints given a problem.
For example, this is a problem of heights.
There is a minimum height and a maximum height.
We can use the following inequation to describe the problem:
Let
x = height in feet.
The inequation is:
-15 <= x <= 25
answer:
-15 <= x <= 25

What term best describes the point where the three medians of a triangle intersects

kirill115 [55]

CENTROID is the term used to describe the point where the three medians of a triangle intersect.

Centroid is the center of gravity of the triangle. It is one of the triangle's point of concurrency. Aside from "center of gravity", it is also known as "center of mass" and "barycenter".

Centroids are always inside the triangle. Since, the centroid is where three medians intersect, each median divides the triangle into two smaller triangles of equal area. The centroid is exactly two-thirds the way along each median.

Other types of triangle centers aside from Centroids are:
1) incenter
2) circumcenter
3) orthocenter

Find the area of the shaded region.<br><br> Express the area in factored form.

klasskru [66]

Answer:

(x-1)(x+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the big green rectangle is just x(x+2) which is $x^2+2x$ . (Excluding the interior rectangle) The shaded area is just this minus three which is $x^2+2x-3$ . In factored form this is (x-1)(x+3).
