Questions:

A clothing manufacturer uses the model a = √(f + 4) - √(36 - f) to estimate the amount of fabric to order from a mill. In the formula, a is the number of apparel items (in hundreds) and f is the number of units of fabric needed. If 400 apparel items will be manufactured , how many units of fabric should be ordered?

Answer:

32 units of fabrics

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

a = \sqrt{f + 4} - \sqrt{36 - f}

Required

Find f when a  = 4

Substitute 4 for a

4 = \sqrt{f + 4} - \sqrt{36 - f}

Rewrite as:

\sqrt{36 - f} + 4 = \sqrt{f + 4}

Square both sides

(\sqrt{36 - f} + 4)^2 = (\sqrt{f + 4})^2

(\sqrt{36 - f} + 4)^2 = f + 4

36 - f + 8\sqrt{36 - f} + 16 = f + 4

Collect Like Terms

8\sqrt{36 - f}= f +f+ 4 - 36 -16

8\sqrt{36 - f}= 2f -48

Divide through by 2

4\sqrt{36 - f}= f -24

Square both sides

16(36-f) = (f - 24)^2

16(36-f) = f^2 - 48f + 576

576-16f = f^2 - 48f + 576

-16f = f^2 - 48f

Collect like terms

f^2 - 48f + 16f = 0

f^2 -32f = 0

Factorize

f(f - 32) = 0

f = 0 or f = 32

f can not be 0 because some units must be ordered.

So, f = 32

Answer:

  $86.81

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the given formula, we want to compute A for ...

  P = 4750

  r = 0.2279

  n = 365 . . . . . assuming "exact" interest

  t = 1 or 30

For 1 day late:

  A = 4750(1 +0.2279/365)^(365·(1/365)) = 4752.97

For 30 days late:

  A = 4750(1 +0.2279/365)^(365·(30/365)) = 4839.78

The difference in these payment amounts is ...

  $4839.78 -4752.97 = $86.81

You would save $86.81 in interest charges by paying only 1 day late.

<em>Comment on the question</em>

It would be a poor choice of credit card to use one that compounds interest daily. Most do so on a monthly basis.
