Answer:

11.25

Step-by-step explanation:

first what u do is u just make 2(x+15)=37.5 into 2x+15=37.5

and then u do 2x=37.5-15

that will give u 2x=22.5

then u do this x=22.5/2

and x = to 11.25

omar tariq has a credit card that uses the unpaid balance method to compute the finance charge. His monthly periodic rate is 2.4
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

(a) unpaid balance = $667.95

(b) Previous balance = $761.67

(c) his new balance = $683.98

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question, we are given the following:

Monthly periodic rate = 2.4%, or 0.024

Curren charges = $256.28

Total payment made = $350

Finance charge = $18.28

Therefore, we now proceed as follows:

(a) unpaid balance

This can be calculated as follows:

Unpaid balance = Previous balance + Current charges - Total payment made ................. (1)

Note that from part (b), Previous balance is equal to $761.67.

Substituting this and other values from the question into equation (1), we have:

Unpaid balance = $761.67 + $256.28 - $350 = $667.95

(b) Previous balance

This can be calculated as follows:

Previous balance = Finance charges / Monthly periodic rate = $18.28 / 2.4% = $18.28 / 0.024 = $761.67

(c) his new balance

This can be calculated as follows:

New balance = Unpaid balance * (1 + Monthly periodic rate) = $667.95 * (1 + 2.4%) = $667.95 * (1 + 0.024) = $667.95 * 1.024 = $683.98

Solve the system by using the combination method<br> 4x+9y=7 <br> 4x-9y=9
harkovskaia [24]
The two original functions are 4x+9y=7 and 4x-9y=9
To use the combination method, add all the values of the two equations together to cancel out one of the variables
4x+4x+9y-9y=7+9
8x=16
8x/8=16/8
x=2
4(2)+9y=7
8+9y=7
8-8+9y=7-8
9y=-1
y=-\frac{1}{9}

I think I know this much so far for A (but I could be wrong):
Eduardwww [97]
Part A. You have the correct first and second derivative.

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

Part B. You'll need to be more specific. What I would do is show how the quantity (-2x+1)^4 is always nonnegative. This is because x^4 = (x^2)^2 is always nonnegative. So (-2x+1)^4 >= 0. The coefficient -10a is either positive or negative depending on the value of 'a'. If a > 0, then -10a is negative. Making h ' (x) negative. So in this case, h(x) is monotonically decreasing always. On the flip side, if a < 0, then h ' (x) is monotonically increasing as h ' (x) is positive.

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

Part C. What this is saying is basically "if we change 'a' and/or 'b', then the extrema will NOT change". So is that the case? Let's find out

To find the relative extrema, aka local extrema, we plug in h ' (x) = 0
h  ' (x) = -10a(-2x+1)^4
0 = -10a(-2x+1)^4
so either
-10a = 0 or (-2x+1)^4 = 0
The first part is all we care about. Solving for 'a' gets us a = 0. 
But there's a problem. It's clearly stated that 'a' is nonzero. So in any other case, the value of 'a' doesn't lead to altering the path in terms of finding the extrema. We'll focus on solving (-2x+1)^4 = 0 for x. Also, the parameter b is nowhere to be found in h ' (x) so that's out as well.
