Answer:
The loan will be paid after 39 monthly installments.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since I am paying off a student loan in monthly installments, and after the 4th payment the remaining balance is $ 13,900, while after the 5th payment my remaining balance is $ 13,500, to determine the amount of payments in which the loan was agreed I must perform the following calculation:
13900 - 13500 = 400
400 x 5 = 2000
2000 + 13500 = 15500
15500/400 = 38.75
Thus, the loan will be paid after 39 monthly installments.
Your writing is very very good
Answer:
2.67 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming that we represent the size of the squares with the letter y, such that after the squares are being cut from each corner, the rectangular length of the box that is formed can now be ( 23 - 2y), the width to be (13 - 2y) and the height be (x).
The formula for a rectangular box = L × B × W
= (23 -2y)(13-2y) (y)
= (299 - 46y - 26y + 4y²)y
= 299y - 72y² + 4y³
Now for the maximum volume:
dV/dy = 0
This implies that:
299y - 72y² + 4y³ = 299 - 144y + 12y² = 0
By using the quadratic formula; we have :

where;
a = 12; b = -144 and c = 299






Since the width is 13 inches., it can't be possible for the size of the square to be cut to be 9.33
Thus, the size of the square to be cut out from each corner to obtain the maximum volume is 2.67 inches.
