If a store credit account charges 1.5% interest each month, what is the APR?

2 answers:

7 0

If the monthly interest is 1.5%, then the APR is

100 [ (1.015)¹² - 1 ] = 19.56 %

You might think that it would be (12 x 1.5) = 18% , but it's not.

The interest is compounded. That means interest is added this month,
and then it becomes part of the amount on which interest is charged
next month.

So you're charged interest on interest, and it adds up.

The APR is the annual percentage rate
therefore the APR is 1.5x12=18%

Which expression is equivalent to Assume x > 0 and y 0.

Svetach [21]

we have

$\sqrt{\frac{55x^{7}y^{6}}{11x^{11}y^{8}}}$

we know that

$\sqrt{\frac{55x^{7}y^{6}}{11x^{11}y^{8}}} =\sqrt{\frac{55}{11}\frac{x^{7}}{x^{11}}\frac{y^{6}}{y^{8}}} \\ \\= \sqrt{\frac{5}{x^{4} y^{2}}} \\ \\ =\frac{\sqrt{5}}{x^{2} y}$

therefore

the answer is

The expression equivalent is $\frac{\sqrt{5}}{x^{2} y}$

Are 2.7, 3.6, and 4.5 a pythagorean triple

grigory [225]

They are because 2.7 squared + 3.6 squared = 4.5 squared (=20.25)

Pythagoras Theorem is that a squared + b squared = c squared

So the 2 smallest numbers squared will equal the larger one squared if it is a pythagoreom triple
