First,
|-13| represents the absolute value of the number 13. Absolute values cannot be negative. So |-13| cannot become -13, it would become 13.

So,
|-13| - |13| = -13 - 13 = 26 would become
|-13| - |13| = 13 - 13 = 0

Valerie wants to take out a discount loan of $569. The rate is 4.5% for 250 days. How much interest will she pay? (Be sure to ro

lina2011 [118]

The interest is computed from

... I = Prt

where P is the principal amount ($569), r is the rate (0.045) and t is the time in years (250/360).

... I = $569×0.045×250/360 ≈ $17.78

Please note that time is not rounded. Rather, the exact value (25/36) is used in the calculation. The only rounding of any number is done at the end, where the amount is rounded to the nearest cent. (Your text authors should know this.)

_____

If you follow the problem instructions (which Valerie's lender will <em>not</em> do), the interest is calculated as ...

... t = 250/360 = 0.6944444... ≈ 0.69 . . . . years

... I = $569×0.045×0.69 ≈ $17.67

_____

Note the rounding of intermediate numbers (time) introduces an error of about $0.11 in the answer.

Which function has a phase shift of pi/2 to the right?

Bess [88]

If it helps you any

$\bf \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \textit{function transformations}

% function transformations for trigonometric functions
\begin{array}{rllll}

\end{array}$

$\bf \begin{array}{llll}

\qquad if\ \frac{{{ C}}}{{{ B}}}\textit{ is negative, to the right}\\
\qquad if\ \frac{{{ C}}}{{{ B}}}\textit{ is positive, to the left}\\
\end{array}$

$\bf \begin{array}{llll}

\bullet \textit{vertical shift by }{{ D}}\\
\qquad if\ {{ D}}\textit{ is negative, downwards}\\
\qquad if\ {{ D}}\textit{ is positive, upwards}\\

so.. check coefficients C and B for the horizontal shift
