Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

First, eliminate the fractional coefficient 1/2, by multiplying all three terms by 2:

-24 + x = -12

Adding 24 to both sides isolates x: x = -12 + 24, or x = 12

Find the savings plan balance after 2 years with an APR of 4% and monthly payments of $250. The balance is $ (Do not round until

alexdok [17]

Answer:

$6,506.51

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that increasing an amount C in x% is equivalent to multiply it by (1+x/100)

As we have 4% APR, the monthly interest would be (4/12)% = 0.04/12

Month 0 (first payment)

$250

Month 1

$250 + 250 \frac{0.04}{12}= 250(\frac{12.04}{12})$

Month 2

$250(1+\frac{12.04}{12}+(\frac{12.04}{12})^2)$

Month 3

$250(1+\frac{12.04}{12}+(\frac{12.04}{12})^2+(\frac{12.04}{12})^3)$

Month 24 (2 years)

$250(1+\frac{12.04}{12}+(\frac{12.04}{12})^2+(\frac{12.04}{12})^3+...+(\frac{12.04}{12})^{24})$

The sum

$1+\frac{12.04}{12}+(\frac{12.04}{12})^2+(\frac{12.04}{12})^3+...+(\frac{12.04}{12})^{24}$

is the sum of the first 24 terms of a geometric sequence with common ratio $\frac{12.04}{12}$ which is

$\frac{1-(12.04/12)^{25}}{1-(12.04/12)}=26.02603071$

so, after 2 years the saving balance is

250*26.02603071 = 6,506.50767= $6,506.51 rounded to the nearest cent.

10 points, please help me and explain how to do this with answers!

8_murik_8 [283]

$\bf f(x)=log\left( \cfrac{x}{8} \right)\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
\textit{x-intercept, setting f(x)=0}
\\\\
0=log\left( \cfrac{x}{8} \right)\implies 0=log(x)-log(8)\implies log(8)=log(x)
\\\\
8=x\\\\
-----------------------------$

$\bf \textit{y-intercept, is setting x=0}\\
\textit{wait just a second!, a logarithm never gives 0}
\\\\
log_{{ a}}{{ b}}=y \iff {{ a}}^y={{ b}}\qquad\qquad 
% exponential notation 2nd form
{{ a}}^y={{ b}}\iff log_{{ a}}{{ b}}=y 
\\\\
\textit{now, what exponent for "a" can give you a zero? none}\\
\textit{so, there's no y-intercept, because "x" is never 0 in }\frac{x}{8}\\
\textit{that will make the fraction to 0, and a}\\
\textit{logarithm will never give that, 0 or a negative}\\\\
$

$\bf -----------------------------\\\\
domain
\\\\
\textit{since whatever value "x" is, cannot make the fraction}\\
\textit{negative or become 0, , then the domain is }x\ \textgreater \ 0\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
range
\\\\
\textit{those values for "x", will spit out, pretty much}\\
\textit{any "y", including negative exponents, thus}\\
\textit{range is }(-\infty,+\infty)$

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

now on 2)

$\bf f(x)=\cfrac{3}{x^4}$ if the denominator has a higher degree than the numerator, the horizontal asymptote is y = 0, or the x-axis,

in this case, the numerator has a degree of 0, the denominator has 4, thus y = 0

vertical asymptotes occur when the denominator is 0, that is, when the fraction becomes undefined, and for this one, that occurs at $x^4=0\implies x=0$ or the y-axis

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

now on 3)

$\bf f(x)=\cfrac{1}{x}$

now, let's see some transformations templates

$\bf \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \textit{function transformations}
\\ \quad \\

\begin{array}{rllll}
% left side templates
f(x)=&{{ A}}({{ B}}x+{{ C}})+{{ D}}
\\ \quad \\
y=&{{ A}}({{ B}}x+{{ C}})+{{ D}}
\\ \quad \\
f(x)=&{{ A}}\sqrt{{{ B}}x+{{ C}}}+{{ D}}
\\ \quad \\
f(x)=&{{ A}}\mathbb{R}^{{{ B}}x+{{ C}}}+{{ D}}
\end{array}$

$\bf \begin{array}{llll}
% right side info
\bullet \textit{ stretches or shrinks horizontally by } {{ A}}\cdot {{ B}}\\
\bullet \textit{ horizontal shift by }\frac{{{ C}}}{{{ B}}}\\
\qquad if\ \frac{{{ C}}}{{{ B}}}\textit{ is negative, to the right}\\
\qquad if\ \frac{{{ C}}}{{{ B}}}\textit{ is positive, to the left}\\
\bullet \textit{ vertical shift by }{{ D}}\\
\qquad if\ {{ D}}\textit{ is negative, downwards}\\
\qquad if\ {{ D}}\textit{ is positive, upwards}
\end{array}$

now, let's take a peek at g(x)

$\bf \begin{array}{lcllll}
g(x)=&-&\cfrac{1}{x}&+3\\
&\uparrow &&\uparrow \\
&\textit{upside down}&&
\begin{array}{llll}
\textit{vertical shift up}\\
\textit{by 3 units}
\end{array}
\end{array}$
