Answer:
2.57
Step-by-step explanation:
You first have to multiply the -5.3 times the -1.9. Once you do that, you get 10.07. Then, you add the -7.5.
Here are the equation steps:
(-7.5) + (-5.3)x(-1.9)
(-7.5) + (10.07)
2.57
ANSWER
$1,413.81
EXPLANATION
The compound interest formula is given by:
Where P=900 is the balance in the account, t=10 is the number of years and r=0.0462 is the rate.
We substitute the values in to the formula to get:
This simplifies to:
Therefore $1413.81 will be in the account after 10 years.
It is A because the radius is 10 which means that if x=0 then y must equal 10. (0,5) would be inside of the circle. If this doesn't make sense graph the circle and the points and you'll see what I mean.
You have not given us any of the steps that Ricardo took to simplify the
expression, and you also haven't given us the list of choices that includes
the description of his mistake, so you're batting O for two so far.
Other than those minor details, the question is intriguing, and it certainly
draws me in.
If Ricardo made a mistake in simplifying that expression, I'm going to say that
it was most likely in the process of removing the parentheses in the middle.
Now you understand that this is all guess-work, because of all the stuff that you
left out when you copied the question, but I think he probably forgot that the 3x
operates on everything inside the parentheses.
He probably wrote that 3x (x-3) is
either 3x² - 3
or x - 9x .
In reality, when properly simplified,
3x (x - 3) = 3x² - 9x .
