Answer:
The discrimant of this equation is 144.
Step-by-step explanation:
First you have to move all the variables to one side to make the equation/expression into 0 by substracting 8x² to both sides :
9x² + 14x + 13 = 8x²
9x² + 14x + 13 - 8x² = 8x² - 8x²
x² + 14x + 13 = 0
It is given that the formula of discriminant is, D = b² - 4ac where a&b&c represent the number of the equation, ax²+bx+c = 0 :
x² + 14x + 13 = 0
D = b² - 4ac
= 14² - 4(1)(13)
= 196 - 52
= 144
Answer: 6.4
Step-by-step explanation: If rounding to one decimal place, your answer would be 6.4.
49.6 divided by 7.8 = 6.35897435...
Now, we see that after the 3 (The first decimal place) there is a five. Because we are rounding to the first decimal place the second decimal place will tell us to round up or down. In this case because it's a five, we would round up.
Answer:
The new mortgage repayment is $10,580.69
Step-by-step explanation:
As at the time Douglas lost his job,he has already made repayments on the mortgage for a period of 7 years,by extending the repayment period by another 7 years,Douglas now have a period of repayment of 30 years now(30-7+7).
The new repayment yearly can be computed using the pmt formula in excel as given below:
=pmt(rate,nper,-pv,fv)
rate is the interest rate on mortgage given as 4.25%
nper is the period of repayment now 30 years
pv is the current of balance of $177,533.62
fv is the total amount repayable on the mortgage and it is not known hence taken as zero
=pmt(4.25%,30,-177533.62,0)=$10,580.69
