Answer:

f(g(x)) = x² - 2x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find f(g(x)), substitute x = g(x) into f(x) , that is

f(g(x))

= f(x - 1)

= (x - 1)² ← expand using FOIL

= x² - 2x + 1

A farmer has 500 acres to plant acres of corn, x, and acres of cotton, y. Corn costs $215 per acre to produce, and cotton costs

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

x + y = 500

215x + 615y = 187,500

Step-by-step explanation:

The first equation can show the amount of land. The farmer has 500 acres to plant corn, x, and cotton, y.

x + y = 500

The second equation can show the cost. The farmer has $187,500 to invest when corn costs $215 per acre and cotton costs $615 per acre.

215x + 615y = 187,500

The system of equations is

x + y = 500

215x + 615y = 187,500

When the effective interest rate is 9% per annum, what is the present value of a series of 50 annual payments that start at $100

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

$1,109.62

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first compute the future value FV.

In order to see the rule of formation, let's see the value (in $) for the first few years

End of year 0

1,000

End of year 1(capital + interest + new deposit)

1,000*(1.09)+10

End of year 2 (capital + interest + new deposit)

(1,000*(1.09)+10)*1.09 +10 =

$\bf 1,000*(1.09)^2+10(1+1.09)$

End of year 3 (capital + interest + new deposit)

$\bf (1,000*(1.09)^2+10(1+1.09))(1.09)+10=\\1,000*(1.09)^3+10(1+1.09+1.09^2)$

and we can see that at the end of year 50, the future value is

$\bf FV=1,000*(1.09)^{50}+10(1+1.09+(1.09)^2+...+(1.09)^{49}$

The sum

$\bf 1+1.09+(1.09)^2+...+(1.09)^{49}$

is the sum of a geometric sequence with common ratio 1.09 and is equal to

$\bf \frac{(1.09)^{50}-1}{1.09-1}=815.08356$

and the future value is then

$\bf FV=1,000*(1.09)^{50}+10*815.08356=82,508.35564$

The present value PV is

$\bf PV=\frac{FV}{(1.09)^{50}}=\frac{82508.35564}{74.35572}=1,109.616829\approx \$1,109.62$

rounded to the nearest hundredth.

What does 1,580÷25=I know the answer, I need to show how I got it.

ziro4ka [17]

$\begin{gathered} \sqrt[25]{1580} \\ 1\text{ and 15 cannot divide 25 therefore, we use the first three numbers to divide 25} \\ \frac{158}{25}\text{ = }6\text{ remainder 8} \\ \text{You have to carry that remainder which is 8 and combine it with the 0 in 1580.} \\ \frac{80}{25}\text{ = }3\text{ remainder 5} \\ The\text{ remainder 5 will also divide 25} \\ \frac{5}{25}=0.2 \\ The\text{ quotient values are 63 + 0.2 = 63.2} \end{gathered}$

#10 plz!!!! ASAP it asks to describe a rule you could use to find the number of pennies needed to make the term in the pattern.

sweet-ann [11.9K]

A rule you can use to find the answer to #10 is adding a layer of pennies around each edge
