Tom borrowed $35,000 to remodel his house. At the end of 5-year loan, he had repaid a total of $46,375. At what simple interest

Wewaii [24]

The formula for simple interest is I = prt, where I is the amount of interest, p is the principal borrowed, r is the interest rate written as a decimal number, and t is the amount of time in years. First we find the amount of interest. He borrowed $35000 but paid back $46375. That means he paid 46375-35000 = $11375 in interest. We can now substitute our information into our interest formula:
11375=35000(r)(5)
11375=35000(5)(r) ----- remember that multiplication is commutative
11375=175000r
Divide both sides by 175000 to cancel it:
11375/175000 = 175000r/175000
0.065 = r
To convert this to a percentage, we multiply by 100:
0.065(100) = 6.5%

Patrick has just finished building a pen for his new dog. The pen is 3 feet wider than it is long. He also built a doghouse to p

zalisa [80]

General Idea:

(i) Assign variable for the unknown that we need to find

(ii) Sketch a diagram to help us visualize the problem

(iii) Write the mathematical equation representing the description given.

(iv) Solve the equation by substitution method. Solving means finding the values of the variables which will make both the equation TRUE

Applying the concept:

Given: x represents the length of the pen and y represents the area of the doghouse

Statement 1: "The pen is 3 feet wider than it is long"

$Length \; of\; the \; pen = x\\ Width \; of\; the\; pen=x+3$

------

Statement 2: "He also built a doghouse to put in the pen which has a perimeter that is equal to the area of its base"

$Area \; of\; the\; Dog \; house=y\\ Perimeter \; of\; Dog\; house=y$

------

Statement 3: "After putting the doghouse in the pen, he calculates that the dog will have 178 square feet of space to run around inside the pen."

$Area \; of \; the\; Pen - Area \;of \;the\;Dog \;House=\;Space\;inside\;Pen\\ \\ x \cdot (x+3)-y=178\\ Distributing \;x\;in\;the\;left\;side\;of\;the\;equation\\ \\ x^2+3x-y=178\Rightarrow\; 1^{st}\; Equation\\$

------

Statement 4: "The perimeter of the pen is 3 times greater than the perimeter of the doghouse."

$Perimeter\; of\; the\; Pen=3\; \cdot \; Perimeter\; of\; the\; Dog\; House\\ \\ 2(x \; + \; x+3)=3 \cdot y\\ Combine\; like\; terms\; inside\; the\; parenthesis\\ \\ 2(2x+3)=3y\\ Distribute\; 2\; in\; the\; left\; side\; of\; the\; equation\\ \\ 4x+6=3y\\ Subtract \; 6\; and \; 3y\; on\; both\; sides\; of\; the\; equation\\ \\ 4x+6-3y-6=3y-3y-6\\ Combine\; like\; terms\\ \\ 4x-3y=-6 \Rightarrow \; \; 2^{nd}\; Equation\\$

Conclusion:

The systems of equations that can be used to determine the length and width of the pen and the area of the doghouse is given in Option B.

$178=x^2+3x-y\\ \\ -6=4x-3y$

The following integral requires a preliminary step such as long division or a change of variables before using the method of par

shtirl [24]

Division yields

$\dfrac{x^4+7}{x^3+2x} = x-\dfrac{2x^2-7}{x^3+2x}$

Now for partial fractions: you're looking for constants a, b, and c such that

$\dfrac{2x^2-7}{x(x^2+2)} = \dfrac ax + \dfrac{bx+c}{x^2+2}$

$\implies 2x^2 - 7 = a(x^2+2) + (bx+c)x = (a+b)x^2+cx + 2a$

which gives a + b = 2, c = 0, and 2a = -7, so that a = -7/2 and b = 11/2. Then

$\dfrac{2x^2-7}{x(x^2+2)} = -\dfrac7{2x} + \dfrac{11x}{2(x^2+2)}$

Now, in the integral we get

$\displaystyle\int\frac{x^4+7}{x^3+2x}\,\mathrm dx = \int\left(x+\frac7{2x} - \frac{11x}{2(x^2+2)}\right)\,\mathrm dx$

The first two terms are trivial to integrate. For the third, substitute y = x ² + 2 and dy = 2x dx to get

$\displaystyle \int x\,\mathrm dx + \frac72\int\frac{\mathrm dx}x - \frac{11}4 \int\frac{\mathrm dy}y \\\\ =\displaystyle \frac{x^2}2+\frac72\ln|x|-\frac{11}4\ln|y| + C \\\\ =\displaystyle \boxed{\frac{x^2}2 + \frac72\ln|x| - \frac{11}4 \ln(x^2+2) + C}$
