HELP ME!!!
larisa [96]

Answer:

  -2, 8/3

Step-by-step explanation:

You can consider the area to be that of a trapezoid with parallel bases f(a) and f(4), and width (4-a). The area of that trapezoid is ...

  A = (1/2)(f(a) +f(4))(4 -a)

  = (1/2)((3a -1) +(3·4 -1))(4 -a)

  = (1/2)(3a +10)(4 -a)

We want this area to be 12, so we can substitute that value for A and solve for "a".

  12 = (1/2)(3a +10)(4 -a)

 24 = (3a +10)(4 -a) = -3a² +2a +40

  3a² -2a -16 = 0 . . . . . . subtract the right side

  (3a -8)(a +2) = 0 . . . . . factor

Values of "a" that make these factors zero are ...

  a = 8/3, a = -2

The values of "a" that make the area under the curve equal to 12 are -2 and 8/3.

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

The attachment shows a solution using the numerical integration function of a graphing calculator. The area under the curve of function f(x) on the interval [a, 4] is the integral of f(x) on that interval. Perhaps confusingly, we have called that area f(a). As we have seen above, the area is a quadratic function of "a". I find it convenient to use a calculator's functions to solve problems like this where possible.

Merina is scheduled to make two loan payments to Bradford in the amount of $1,000 each, two months and nine months from now. Mer
Svetach [21]

well, we're assuming all along that Merina owes Bradford $2000, because in the 1st scenario, she was going to pay twice $1000.

on the 2nd scenario, she'll be paying the same $2000 but split 7 months from now and then 7 months later, same 2000 bucks, at which point Bradford applied 8.5% interest.

using those assumptions, since the wording is not quite clear, we can say that Merina is simply paying 2000 bucks plus the 8.5%

\begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{a\% of b}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ \left( \cfrac{a}{100} \right)\cdot b \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}~\hspace{5em}\stackrel{\textit{8.5\% of 2000}}{\left( \cfrac{8.5}{100} \right)2000}\implies 170 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{\stackrel{principal}{2000}~~ + ~~\stackrel{interest}{170}}{2}\implies \stackrel{\textit{two equal payments of}}{1085}

Answer:

ok so we know the amount we know the interest amount but we do know know the period of time so the equation would look like this

28000(0.4)T=I

T=Time
