Answer:

5 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, time-to-pay off formula for a credit card is,

$n=\frac{log(\frac{M}{M-Pr})}{log(1+r)}$

Where, P is owing amount,

r is rate per period,

M is payment per period,

Here, P = $ 2,264.96,

M = $ 500.00 per month

APR = 14.7 % = 0.147 ⇒ r = $\frac{0.147}{12}$

Hence, the number of months does it take to pay off the balance,

$n=\frac{log(\frac{500.00}{500.00-2264.96\times \frac{0.147}{12}})}{log(1+\frac{0.147}{12})}$

$=4.68894564931\approx 5$

Therefore, It will take approx 5 months to pay off the balance.

You would pay 500 for 4 months and then you would pay 264.96 in the last month so your answer would be 5

I need help with my algebra 2. I also want to know how to solve this.

Lisa [10]

Add 1 to both sides:

$\sqrt{x+3} = x+1$

In cases like this, we have to remember that a root is always positive, so we can square both sides only assuming that

$x+1 \geq 0 \iff x \geq -1$

Under this assumption, we square both sides and we have

$x+3 = (x+1)^2 \iff x+3 = x^2+2x+1 \iff x^2+x-2 = 0$

The solutions to this equation are

$x = -2,\ x=1$

But since we can only accept solutions greater than -1, we discard $x=-2$ and accept $x=1$ .

In fact, we have

$x=-2 \implies \sqrt{-2+3}-1=0\neq -2$

and

$x=1 \implies \sqrt{4}-1=1$

which is the only solution.

Find four distinct complex numbers (which are neither purely imaginary nor purely real) such that each has an absolute value of

Luda [366]

Answer:

0.5 + 2.985i
1 + 2.828i
1.5 + 2.598i
2 + 2.236i

Explanation:

Complex numbers have the general form a + bi, where a is the real part and b is the imaginary part.

Since, the numbers are neither purely imaginary nor purely real a ≠ 0 and b ≠ 0.

The absolute value of a complex number is its distance to the origin (0,0), so you use Pythagorean theorem to calculate the absolute value. Calling it |C|, that is:

$|C| = \sqrt{a^2+b^2}$

Then, the work consists in finding pairs (a,b) for which:

$\sqrt{a^2+b^2}=3$

You can do it by setting any arbitrary value less than 3 to a or b and solving for the other:

$\sqrt{a^2+b^2}=3\\ \\ a^2+b^2=3^2\\ \\ a^2=9-b^2\\ \\ a=\sqrt{9-b^2}$

I will use b =0.5, b = 1, b = 1.5, b = 2

$b=0.5;a=\sqrt{9-0.5^2}=2.958\\ \\b=1;a=\sqrt{9-1^2}=2.828\\ \\b=1.5;a=\sqrt{9-1.5^2}=2.598\\ \\b=2;a=\sqrt{9-2^2}=2.236$

Then, four distinct complex numbers that have an absolute value of 3 are:

0.5 + 2.985i
1 + 2.828i
1.5 + 2.598i
2 + 2.236i
