A phone company offers two monthly plans. Plan A costs $12 plus an additional $0.16 for each minute of calls. Plan B costs $29 p

lus an additional $0.12 for
each minute of calls.

Answer:

425 min
$80

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The equation to reflect the monthly plans:</u>

Plan A f(x) = 0.16x + 12
Plan B g(x) = 0.12x + 29

<u>We need to find the value of x when f(x) = g(x):</u>

0.16x + 12 = 0.12x + 29
0.16x - 0.12x = 29 - 12
0.04x = 17
x = 17/0.04
x = 425 minutes

<u>The cost is:</u>

$0.16*425 + $12 = $80

Find the roots of the equation<br> x ^ 2 + 3x-8 ^ -14 = 0 with three precision digits

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given quadratic equation:

$x^{2} + 3x - 8^{- 14} = 0$

The solution of the given quadratic eqn is given by using Sri Dharacharya formula:

$x_{1, 1'} = \frac{- b \pm \sqrt{b^{2} - 4ac}}{2a}$

The above solution is for the quadratic equation of the form:

$ax^{2} + bx + c = 0$

$x_{1, 1'} = \frac{- b \pm \sqrt{b^{2} - 4ac}}{2a}$

From the given eqn

a = 1

b = 3

c = $- 8^{- 14}$

Now, using the above values in the formula mentioned above:

$x_{1, 1'} = \frac{- 3 \pm \sqrt{3^{2} - 4(1)(- 8^{- 14})}}{2(1)}$

$x_{1, 1'} = \frac{1}{2} (\pm \sqrt{9 - 4(1)(- 8^{- 14})})$

$x_{1, 1'} = \frac{1}{2} (\pm \sqrt{9 - 4(1)(- 8^{- 14})} - 3)$

Now, Rationalizing the above eqn:

$x_{1, 1'} = \frac{1}{2} (\pm \sqrt{9 - 4(- 8^{- 14})} - 3)\times (\frac{\sqrt{9 - 4(- 8^{- 14})} + 3}{\sqrt{9 - 4(- 8^{- 14})} + 3}$

$x_{1, 1'} = \frac{1}{2}.\frac{(\pm {9 - 4(- 8^{- 14})^{2}} - 3^{2})}{\sqrt{9 - 4(- 8^{- 14})} + 3}$

Solving the above eqn:

$x_{1, 1'} = \frac{2\times 8^{- 14}}{\sqrt{9 + 4\times 8^{-14}} + 3}$

Solving with the help of caculator:

$x_{1, 1'} = \frac{2\times 2.27\times 10^{- 14}}{\sqrt{9 + 42.27\times 10^{- 14}} + 3}$

The precise value upto three decimal places comes out to be:

$x_{1, 1'} = 0.758\times 10^{- 14}$

The formula A equals =P left parenthesis 1 plus r right parenthesis squared (1+r)2 gives the amount A in dollars that P dollars

vlabodo [156]

The interest rate is 3.5%.

EXPLANATION

We substitute the given values into the formula;

$A=P(1+\frac{r}{100})^t$

to obtain

$6427.35=6000(1+\frac{r}{100})^2$

We divide through by 6000 to obtain,

$\frac{6427.35}{6000}=(1+\frac{r}{100})^2$

This implies that,

$1.071225=(1+\frac{r}{100})^2$

We take the square root of both sides,

$\sqrt{1.071225}=(1+\frac{r}{100})$

This gives us,

$1.035=(1+\frac{r}{100})$

Add -1 to both sides of the equation to obtain

$0.035=\frac{r}{100}$

Multiply through by 100 to obtain;

$r=3.5$ %

$Therefore the rate is 3.5%$
