Answer:
A. 17
B. 16
Step-by-step explanation:
F(5)
5 > 2 so you plug the 5 into 3x+2
F(-2)
-5 < -2 < 2 so you plug the -2 into (x-2)^2
Answer:
The Value of Payments is P18,557.15
Step-by-step explanation:
The quarterly payment is an annuity payment.
Use the following formula to calculate the present value of the payments.
PV of Annuity = Annuity Payment x ( 1 - ( 1 + interest rate )^-Numbers of periods ) / Interest rates
Where
Annuity Payment = Quarterly payment = P1,300
Interest rate = 5.12% x 3/12 = 1.375%
Numbers of periods = 4 years x 12/3 = 16 quarters
PV of Annuity = Value of Payments = ?
Placing values in the formula
Value of Payments = P1,300 x ( 1 - ( 1 + 1.375% )^-16 ) / 1.375%
Value of Payments = P18,557.15
Adding and subtracting with negative numbers
First, recognize that adding and subtracting are, from one viewpoint, the same thing. Subtracting a number is the same thing as adding the negative of that number. For example, 4 – 12 is the same as 4 + –12 (which, because the order of terms doesn't matter with addition, is the same as –12 + 4). With that in mind, here are the rules for adding with negative and positive numbers:
If both numbers are positive, then the answer is positive.
If both numbers are negative, then the answer is negative.
If the numbers have different signs, the answer takes the sign of the higher number.
Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding the positive of that number. For example, 5 – –4 is the same as 5 + 4.
Multiplying and dividing with negative numbers if the numbers have different signs, the answer is negative.
